The scale finally moved

Jan 03, 2011

 So.....my scale has been sitting at 264 for like the last week and a half.  I weigh first thing in the  morning.  I even resorted to weighing naked to hope that my clothes might be the extra few pounds.  Nope, it still sat at 264.  A few mornings it said 265 and that was when I really flipped out.  265???  What???  There is no way I am gaining weight....is there?  So this morning I weighed and the darn thing said 263.  I was soooooo super happy.
I wanted to be in the 250's for new years.  Guess that was a little crazy on my part because I am only 5 weeks out so I would have to lose more than a pound a day (which is what my surgeon says in normal).  So I know that I haven't been doing the best with my protein and vitamins and I probably have been eating things that I shouldn't.  Like the occasional sip of soda, and a few potato chips here and there.  I have been able to do fish, chicken, and now I am even able to eat a few raw veggies, which I guess I shouldn't be eating either.  But I am craving veggies....is that normal??  But it didn't hurt and my pouch seemed to like it so I have had a few veggies the last few days.
Today while out for my lunchtime walk with my co-worker we came across this little place called Boca Fiesta.  We went in and it was the cutest little Mexican restaurant.  We ordered a taco salad to share with pulled pork (something I hadn't tried before).  It was very simple and very fresh, a tortilla shell, which I passed on.  Filled with fresh lettuce, which I didn't eat, and then the pulled pork and cheese (shredded).  No tomato, no sour cream, no ranch, but it was served with a delicious light refreshing vinaigrette.  It was the best taco salad (meat) that I have ever had.  LOL and my pouch loved it!
