Still losing but putting in the work
on August 19, 2012 5:46 pm
One of my favorite comedians said,"Everyone wants to be famous, but no one wants to put in the work."-Kevin Hart. I love this guy, he is so funny. All that aside he couldn't be more right, but I'm going to apply this to my weight loss. I want to be thinner, but I don't want to work out. Not really realistic. Is it? I now know that and I go to the gym religiously to workout on a regular basis. I have began counting calories and watching my net calories versus my workout calories. It is a life change and I understand the depths of that now. I have to change how I think and eat to achieve the success that I long for. I have revamped my workout plan and I have seen the light. My weight has started moving again on the scale and personally I like it. I just have to remember that the work has to be there to achieve the desired results and without it I can't and shouldn't expect anything else.

I have finally reached the 100s. I weighed in today at 198.8. I know that is barely there but for me it is a big step for me. I am so grateful that I was blessed to go through this journey and come out changed on the other end. This has been and experience. I am still experiencing slow weight loss, but I don't care anymore. I know if I keep working, it will keep coming off. I'm starting to have some fun with the protein. I have started adding things to get my calories. Decaf coffee is my favorite. Then there's pureed bananas. Ohhhh. I love it. Its been quite a journey and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Being in the 100s still feels like a dream. I'm a size fourteen and loving it. My mother even said that I look taller. Without all the weight pulling me forward and down, maybe I do. Maybe I do.

Different but o so diligent

I have had my first labs and my iron, calcium and vitamin D3 were all very low. That would attribute to my weight stall and hair loss. I'm taking the correct amount and I'm back, but not defeated. I getting my hair done to help with the loss, but I will keep pushing to be better. I want to continue my fight to have better health.

My Story

I come from a family of people that have had weightloss surgery. Three people in my immediate family have had gastric bypass. I decided to have the lap band and it didn't work so well for me. Now I am having a revision to RNY myself.  I am about to begin another journey. The frustrating part is having all that restriction and not losing weight. I know this is a different process, but I'm so ready.
