I stayed up really late last night/this morning. I was up until almost 7:00 a.m. I was really stoked because I figured I could make it to the newly opened Sonic in the morning before the place got rushed, but as I watched the morning news I realized that this was not going to happen. The news showed that they were ready for a morning rush, but then I figured that if it was on the news everyone that had forgotten about it would have remembered and went there.

I waited until the evening to go up there to take a look at it, and it was so packed that the road leading to it was full as well. We decided that it was not a good time to check it out then either. I guess that it did not really help that it was about 6:00 p.m. which is a lot of people’s dinner time.

I am going to make one more attempt tonight probably here in a half hour or so to get some Sonic. I have been seeing the commercials for this place for a couple of years now and I thought that it was unfair that we did not have one anywhere near here. Apparently everyone else is excited about it too!

I have been using an appetite suppressant to help me not feel hungry all the time. I am living proof that suppressing your appetite can really help. Instead of feeling like I need to eat all of the time I feel like food is gross sometimes so I do not even want to eat a lot. I like feeling full when I only eat a little bit of food.

It is crazy that Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner. I look forward to both holidays a lot because I get to spend a lot of time with my family. I really look forward to a nice slice of sweet potato pie. For some reason I do not ever really eat sweet potato pie any other time of the year and so it stays special to me.

I have thought a lot about getting gastric bypass surgery done. I would love to eat just a little bit of food and feel like I just ate an entire Thanksgiving dinner. The only problem is my mom would freak out because her mom died on the operating table while getting gastric bypass surgery done. We have talked about it before and we talked about how over the years they have gotten a lot better at the surgery and it is not nearly invasive on your body. I told her that I would like to get the Lap Band that I keep seeing commercials for because it is totally reversible and the surgery is minor.

Hadar Spivak, MD is a doctor that actually specializes in gastric bypass located in Texas. I have looked at his site a few times to think about getting this procedure done. I know that Texas is far away, but after doing all the research on his site I would want him to do my surgery. You can see the site for yourself at www.Lap-Surgery.net. Dr. Spivak looks like he would be a wonderful doctor and I would be well taken care of. I showed my mom the site and she said she would be more comfortable with me getting this procedure done if it was by him because he is very knowledgeable in the field, and that is what he specializes in.

I’m unsure if I mentioned the fact that my doctor actually gave me a prescription for diet pills. She gave me Adipex 37.5 mg tablets. I am supposed to take one tablet a day and I opted to take half in the afternoon and half in the evening because that is when I seem to get the most hungry.

I started taking these pills on Monday and it is now Saturday and I have lost a few pounds, but I always figure that is water weight that I am losing first. I have been eating really light and getting things done around the house so that I am moving around more.

The pills make me feel like I do not want to eat a lot and that is really great. If I do get hungry I try to eat about 1/4 of what I used to eat. I will eat chocolate about once a week, but just a little because if I cut myself completely off I usually become a rebel and end up eating too much. I know that it sounds silly being a rebel against myself, but I swear it happens!

I am not going to give specifics on my weight numbers but from Monday until now I have gone down about 10 pounds. I feel better already, but I am pretty sure that is all in my head because I am psyched to lose weight.

I will keep you posted on what happens over the next three months while I am taking these pills to help me lose weight. Keep tuning in

Have you ever noticed that when you actually have a bad sinus headache that makes your eyes pound that there is no medicine that works better than something along the lines of Tylenol sinus? I have taken a lot of things to alleviate my headache, but the sinus medications seem to work the best in this situation. I hate this time of year just because of sinus problems.

I forgot to mention that I am tutoring my little sister-in-law two times a week now.  I pick her up on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:00 for two hours.  This week was a little off because she had a lot of homework from school and her mom wants me to do her homework with her before I begin regular tutoring.  Tuesday I spent 3 hours with her trying to get her homework done which left me no time to work on the things that I wanted to work with her on.  I know that she needs a lot more practice with her handwriting and reading.  On Thursday I got to work with her for about an hour on her handwriting and reading, and it was a pretty good time.  She has trouble pronouncing anything that has an “r” in it.  She knows that she has the problem so she is working with me to try to correct it.  This was my first week of tutoring her, and I really hope that she will learn a lot from me and that I can help her do better in school.  She really needs someone to help her, and I am glad that someone is me!

I was looking around the net for a good diet that I could actually live with. There are so many different kinds of diets, and of course whoever writes about them swears by them, but which ones actually work?

I know that the no carbohydrate diets work, but my friend got really sick from doing that one time. She was having huge problems with her pancreas and the doctor told her that it was a direct result from doing the no carbohydrate diet. Does anyone have a good diet that is not just about eating nothing but meat to share? Leave me a comment with anything good!

Anyone who knows me knows that I am constantly battling with the latest diet. I have tried every diet known to man, and it seems like none of them really work. I always lose a lot of weight in the beginning, and then it goes down to a pound or two a week. I have recently decided that I need help in the weight loss department, and I want to give some diet pills a try. I have to find the best diet pills for my body type, but I also would like them to give me some kind of energy boost. When I diet and exercise a lot of times I fall out of the routine just because I get lazy for a couple of days. I need some help ensuring that those lazy days do not happen, and I think that if a diet pill gives me energy I will not have to worry about it anymore! I am going to read reviews and things like that, to make sure that I make the best and most informed decision.

I bought one of those little pre packaged bowls of the BBQ pork made by Curly’s BBQ, it was pretty good! You can heat it over the stove or in the microwave, and since I have been pretty lax on cleaning my kitchen lately I decided to microwave it. The microwaving only caused a little bit of dryness and when I mixed it up really good it turned out great. I would recommend this to anyone who likes BBQ.
