Weeks 3 and 4I

Wellll, here we are in week 4 already, sorry for not updating last week but my secretary is falling down on the job - it's hard to find good help!  Anyway, all is good and every day is getting a little easier.  After week 2, I got knocked back down to 600-700 calories in protein a day with either 2 cups raw or 1 cup cooked (which if you think about it is about the same) of veggies twice a day.  I can also swap out a fruit serving for a veggie serving if i want to.  This program really seems to be working so far. Monday I plan on going back to the gym around 3-4 times a week to help expedite things a little bit. Although the drs and nurses haven't put a deadline on me, I have set a personal goal of getting down to my goal weight by Labor Day weekend of 2013 which would be a year.  Let me put it into perspective for you - 213 pounds in a year breaks down into 17.75 pounds per month or 4.1 pounds per week.  So far I'm down 30 pounds in 3 weeks which is a 10 pound average so as of right now I am ahead of the curve.  But, I know it will get tougher as time goes on.  I have already noticed that this 30 pounds has already made a difference - my feet don't hurt when I get home and I seem to have better mobility already.  Well that about wraps it up for this week.. Thanks for the support and keep praying for me.  I know that I can do this if I just stay focused and continue to have the support from my family and friends.

God Bless -
