Here's to a New Year and a New ME!
Jan 13, 2010
Life has been super busy lately between, work. school, and home but somehow I am finding a way to get all my protein in. In fact most days before I even leave work I've consumed about 75-80 grams of protein. I finally found a protein powder that I can stand or perhaps the strong odor and taste has disappeared for me. As of yesterday morning I am down 65 pounds since surgery on September 21, 2009 and 115 pounds since I began my weight loss journey. I was thinking that I wasn't going to lose any more weight because my body was hanging right around 177-179 for the longest time. It took me a while to realize that I wasn't going to continue losing the weight so fast and now that I'm getting closer and closer to my goal I shouldn't be losing 20+ pounds a week. I am feeling better than I ever have. Going to exercise classes everyday at work in the morning and then using the elliptical machine in the afternoon. For the first time in my life I actually kind of enjoy exercising. I don't really have cravings for the bad foods I ate before surgery which is really good considering I am surrounded by them every where I go. If I think I "need" something I just remind myself that I don't and I don't ever want to weigh 290 pounds again or feel the way I did when I weighed 290 pounds.
