I hope EVERYONE had a good week. I had an ok week. I lost 1 lb this week. Due to some medical test and personal reasons I will not be able to follow the Nutrisystem program 100% for awhile. I am going to try to continue to exercise and put what I have learned on NS to good use and loose some more weight, or at least maintain. I know it will be hard. I will try to keep a log of the food I eat and try to keep my calories around 2,500 per day.

 

The information below is for my benefit as much as for anyone else. It helps me stay on track if I write it down everyday. I will post it every week in case anyone can get any benefit from it.

 

12-02-09: Results on my PET scan.

 

The Doctor said this test did not show any change in the spot on my liver and no new spots to worry about for now. This test does not show if the spot has grown. I will need a new CT scan with contrast to see if it has grown. I have a new CT scan scheduled for 12-30-09 and I will get the results on Monday 01-04-10. So it is still a waiting game.

 

Here are the results of my last 2 CT scans. As of 08-24-09 the small spot in my liver was 1.3 cm X 0.8 cm. As of 10-07-09 it has grown just a little, It is now 1.3 cm X 1.1 cm. The Doctor thinks it is cancer.  The Doctor said right now it is still too small to safely do a biopsy on. Due to my past history of cancer the doctors wants to watch this closely.

 

I read on the NS page that you should try to drink ½ an ounce of water for every pound of weight you carry (in other words, divide your weight in half and drink that many ounces of water per day).

 

My goal for water for this week was 122 oz per day. My goal for water for next week is 122 oz per day.

 

My exercise goal is to walk a total of 13,000 steps per day with 7,000 steps per day of aerobic steps. My daily average for last week was 6,740 steps and an average of 2,242 aerobic steps.

 

I hope EVERYONE had a good week. I had an ok week. I lost .25 lbs this week. Due to some medical test and personal reasons I will not be able to follow the Nutrisystem program 100% for awhile. I am going to try to continue to exercise and put what I have learned on NS to good use and loose some more weight, or at least maintain. I know it will be hard.

Here are the results of my most recent CT scan.

 

As of 08-24-09 the small spot in my liver was 1.3 cm X 0.8 cm. As of 10-07-09 it has grown just a little, It is now 1.3 cm X 1.1 cm. The Doctor thinks it is cancer.  The Doctor said right now it is still too small to safely do a biopsy on. He was going to consult with a liver specialist to see if there was anything else that could be done now. He is going to redo the PET scan on 11-30-09 which will be in 7 weeks, to see if the spot grows and to check to see if there are any new spots. The treatment for this spot will depend on what the next PET scan shows. Due to my past history of cancer the doctors wants to watch this closely.

 

I ask my Doctor about my weight loss effort and he thinks that I should still try to loose more weight. He is very happy with the progress I have made so far. I am going to try to stay on Nutrisystem as long as I can and loose as much weight as I can between now and my next test which is November 30.

 

I am going to set a new mini goal weight for myself of 232 lbs. by 11-28-09. That will give me a total 0f 70 lbs.

I am going to try to loose as much weight as I can before the test.

I know the program calls for 64 oz of water a day, but I read on the NS page that you should try to drink  ½ an ounce of water for every pound of weight you carry (in other words, divide your weight in half and drink that many ounces of water per day).

I hope EVERYONE had a good week. I had a bad week I fell off the Nutrisystem wagon this week. I gained 3.25 lbs. this week. This gain was my fault I was only 100% on program 1 day this week and I have not exercised any in the last 2 weeks. I am going to take my own advice and take it one day at a time. I am going to work on staying 100% every day and exercise. I can get back on program I just have to do it. I have been on the Nutrisystem program for 22 weeks and I have lost a total of 58.25 lbs.

He was going to consult with a liver specialist to see if there was anything else that could be done now. He is going to redo the PET scan on 11-30-09 which will be in 7 weeks, to see if the spot grows and to check to see if there are any new spots. The treatment for this spot will depend on what the next PET scan shows. Due to my past history of cancer the doctors wants to watch this closely.
