Stuck in the Middle

"Stuck in the middle... Smack dab in the middle" this is not an homage to the Oreo commercial but rather Cornelius' new favorite ditty!
Well, I've finally experienced PBing. ( Or Productive Burping as most bandsters refer to it)
Let me tell you,  It's NO BUENO!!! Phlegm, the gurgles  and overwhelming need to regurgitate is not my idea of a good time.

288 lbs 11/8/11 53lbs lost

Cornelius has been more finicky than ever since returning stateside. I'm trying to get in enough protein and such daily,but it's been hard since my first fill. I better head to GNC for some protein powder.
I have even less of an appetite than before. I forget about my stomach, I forget to eat, and about FOOD!
It's crazy something that I felt comforted by no longer has the same therapeutic effect.
I've being working out, getting fresh air ,cardio, and walking a couple miles a day. I'm not comfortable enough to go to the gym yet, but I'm getting there. It's Hotlanta people. Less like L.A. Fitness and more like Club Fitness. I'm not ready to punish myself on the  elliptical machine next to Rosa Acosta look a likes! Baby Steps.
Real moment: Everybody cheats! Let's be honest.
Being in America with more food choices means more chances to eat crap as well. The other day I was craving something greasy. I had a cheeseburger from Wendy's. It took hours to eat half and it wasn't even satisfying.  I used to love to punish a cheeseburger deluxe and now it's more of a hassle. Honestly I'd rather have had a  grilled chicken salad or a turkey burrito. 
I dont know about anyone else, but I try to stay away for drinks high in sugar . Since Cornelius, I have WICKED cotton mouth any time I try to drink anything other than water, OJ, or homemade iced tea. Sper sweet beverages are a no go! YUCK.
However if you're in the mood for a min indulgence, Skinny Cow Ice cream which ranges from 100- 160 calories per serving container is a nice treat and its not too sugary. So if you have a sweet tooth skinny Cow is the way to go!
I know this is a way of life. I'm trying to find a balance between healthy participant in changing my life and weight obsessed. At times it can be difficult not to get so wrapped up in it, however I have a fantastic support system who keep my balanced.

Today I started working out with Kettle weights that my little Sis bought me! Gotta love having people in your corner.
So in addition to walking and Jillian 3 times a week I will now   include kettle weights. Those of you who know me, know I HATE working out,but I like the results I'm seeing in  just a week's time.  I look forward to pushing myself and becoming the Me, that I feel like inside, outside.

Constantly Under Construction.





So Corni, M.T. would like to share Shake it Out by Florence and the Machine:
