A WEEKEND OUT OF TOWN
We went out of town this past weekend to a craft show in the Jacksonville Mall in Jacksonville, NC. it was interesting being away from home and seeing how I would do. I held fast to the plan and drank plenty of water(chomped on ice all day). Ate protein first and got in my vitimins. I got home and hopped on the scales and low and behold the stall is over! YIPPEE! I am down 48 pounds from my coming home from the hospital weight(306), and 58 from this time last year! I went for a week without losing anything, that was scary! BUT hopefully we are on the move again!
I must say I was a little dissappointed in myself this weekend. I say that because I really expected to do better energy wise and with my back hopefully NOT hurting as much. I mean 45-48 pounds is nothing to sneeze at. I really hoped I wouldn't feel so drained at the end of the day from working, BUT 12 hours is a LOOONNNNG time to be standing on your feet, waiting on people. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the work we do. We do the meaning of names and personalized poems, and BOY were we busy this weekend! BUT I loved it! I love doing that, just wish my body was more cooperative! My back ached so bad by the time we left the mall Friday and Saturday night, I was hunched over like a 90 year old woman! Sunday was a short day due to blue laws, we got at the mall right at 12 noon and were busy till we ended our day at 6 pm. THEN we had to pack up and move on out of there! Talk about the fun part...NOT! My back hurt, my knee hurt like crazy! I was so worn out! BUT hey, our food bill was waaayyyy less this time than any other time we have ever traveled and done this craft show! So that was great! I must admit I never realized how much food I ate before, or how much I really enjoyed eating! BUT when you know you will get sick if you eat something or you will feel terrible, it puts quiet the damper on your appetite! I eat so little now and I feel full! I love it. BUT I must admit I do miss the wrong foods. I use to eat 4-5 pieces of pizza, my favorite food. NOW I do good to eat the toppings off one piece! Cheescake, forget it, I ain't even attempting that one! My husband and I used to eat a piece of cheesecake every night after we had sex. I know, how great is that???? Sexercise and then cheesecake!!! OH the habits we form and then we wonder how did we get this way! After having this surgery and seeing how little I eat, it is no wonder I wasn't way bigger than 316! BUT I must say I lOVE MY POUCH! No way I would be losing this weight without this surgery, and changing my eating habits along the way, it is awesome! We eat to live now, NOT live to eat!
BTW I have a head cold or sinus infection or something of the like going on! My whole head is congested and I've been slinging snot all day(I know a lovely way to put it huh?). BUT true, if any of you reading this know something I can take for it let me know. I have been using the nasel rinse solution and it seems to help somewhat. BUT it will be hard to breathe one minute and my nose running the next!!!! HELP!!!!?????
OK, got to hit the sack now. You guys keep me in your prayers and oh BTW I have a friend, Robyn, who is going through a rough time right now, pray for her too!
