Four Months 3*9*11

Mar 13, 2011

It has been 4 months since my surgery. Things have gone pretty well in terms of weight loss - I have lost 76 lbs so far. Yesterday I went shopping and was able to try on and purchase a size 20 in jeans (Lee Riders) and a 2X 3/4 button up shirt. I haven't worn those sizes in over 10 years & it felt so good!!! 

Nutrition - still working on increasing my protein daily. I am going to start journaling my intake so that I can monitor what I actually eat better. I start my day with a single scoop protein coffee (~25g) and then try to get in as much protein from my food & snacks. I know I am not getting 100 grams in, so I need to really focus on that.

Vitamins - my labs have been coming back pretty normal. Have had to really increase my Vitamin D though. That has been down & hasn't improved in any of my labs. I am taking a lot of "horse pills", and have found that where I used to just pop everything in my mouth, I now can only take 2-3 pills at a time.

Wows:
1. Changes in clothing sizes
2. There is a favorite ring that I used to only wear on my pinky finger, that I can now wear on my ring finger.
3. My watch now slides halfway down my arm, I will have to take a link out soon so that it doesn't fall off my wrist all together.
4. I have received a number of compliments from co-workers. But it's funny, there are just as many people who don't acknowledge my weight loss at all.

There are many more, but at this time of the morning (6AM), those are the wows that stand out in my mind.
