Mood is much better today but I still seem to be having ups and downs.  I hate my job right now and I use to love going to work.  The 12 hour night shift is killing me even when I have all this new energy.  I have put in to be moved to another area of the hospital but I am still waiting.  I wieghed myself the other day and I was down to 242.8 and that is great.  Then all of a sudden i gained back 4 lbs what the hell.  WHATEVER!!!!!  I am still having trouble with meats they feel like I am swallowing rocks and they come right back up.  Fish stays ok thank god for that.  I got myself some protein bars so I can get the 50+ grams I need since I hate the drinks.  I bought a exercise ball which looks very scary but I am willing to try so that I can crunch the tummy.  I had some sugar free jelly beans and guess what relief with my bowels HURRAY!!  I also have been drinking the high fiber V8 and I think that is helping as well.  I can now do the whole dvd Walk off the Pounds which comes out to be about 3 miles with firming and cardio and your butt, legs and arms hurt but in a good way.
