28 weeks & 17# to go!!! and NORMAL labs!!

Jul 11, 2011

so hard to believe!  i've "only" 17# to go for my goal!  once the stall broke, i've lost 3# total in 3 weeks!  whew!  i can be honest and say i've learned a lesson.  i think that i may have gotten off plan just a little too far and that is the reason for the stall.  no longer was i concentrating on the surgically induced atkins eating plan (ha!, this is just my opinion, and not endorsed by the general populace of wls patients), but had strayed off the beaten up pathway laid before me... forging my own path so to speak (i always have been one to take the path least traversed).  yeah, reality check, i learned my lesson.  promised myself to be more conscious of my choices and behave accordingly more often.  whew, confession over.

at any rate, i've broken the stall, i'm on task again, and feeling great.  i've had some decided lack of energy (and motivation?) lately.  not sure if it's due to the summer heat (over 100 degrees for over 17 days in a row here in dallas), my innate laziness, or what.  BONUS:  i went to get my 6 month labwork and all is NORMAL!!  hga1c, liver enzymes, triglycerides, b12, vit d, iron, etc... the only thing that fell out was my cholesterol was slightly elevated, but not enough to medicate.  and i'm not at all pleased with the ratio of my hdl and ldl.  so, i simply must start exercising on a regular basis to improve all that... as well as improve my wiggly jiggly legs, primarily the thighs but my calves could use a little more definition also.

life is good when you live with a banana tummy.  :)

toodle-ooo for now!!
