Four months out!!
Im posting a few hours shy of four months but what the heck. :) Time has gone by so fast! Im definitely living life as normal as possible now... off all meds (except Nexium and I aint going off that til 6 months out) and chowing down on pretty much anything. I usually go for protein first, of course. Weight loss has slowed a bit if you call 2 pounds a week slow. I do, since I'm still in the 'golden 6 month' period! I dont know if thats because that's my natural losing rate or whether I should tweak my food. I really subscribe to the concept that I will never diet again, so I've been eating normal food. Yes, I eat pizza, pasta, or other carby food once in a while (not everyday) and that sometimes pushes up my carb grams way up there. I should try a week of protein-only and see what that gets me. ANyway... not that I'm complaining about my 74 pound loss grins! Only 1 more pound and I'll finally see the 230's! I'm very excited about that. I was last in the 230's say, around 6 years ago. However, my body has definitely changed. I look different now at 240 than how I looked at 240 5 years ago. I'm afraid I've missed the train and I'll be stuck with sagging skin etc. Oh well. Time will tell! Ive been exercising for the past month and steadily improving. Next week, I'm going to follow the Couch to 5k program-- my goal is to be able to jog (run? what does that mean?) 5k by the fall! I'm following the Conservative program, not the Aggressive program-- I used to have foot problems and don't want to aggravate that-- maybe I'll take more risks once I near the bottom of the 200's. Anyway... I'm glad to say that I can finally say I LOVE MY VSG! Despite the mind/stomach dis-connection, Ive been adjusting fairly well to the small portions. I like being full. I do get paranoid when I let myself indugle in a small bite of something that should be a 'no-no', but hey, THIN people can, so can I! Im enjoying cooking so far- its fun to find recipes that are high protein and whip them up in the kitchen. I especially like Eggface's blog. So many things to try! Anyhooo... rambling on. See ya soon! 0 Comment(s)
