Happy Halloween!!!
Oct 31, 2011
Happy Halloween!! I have vowed to stay away from the Halloween candy, treats, cupcakes, cookies, and/or anything else sweet and tempting today and for the week ahead after my son goes trick or treating and brings back all the delicious not so healthy treats back to the house. I tried to tell him this morning that trick or treating was cancelled but he didn't buy it LOL.So I FINALLY MADE IT TO MY ORIGINALL SURGERY GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am doing the happy dance right now in my chair at work. I actually passed my goal. My original goal was 180, that would have put me at losing 120 pounds. Well this morning the scale said 177.6....I updated my health tracker to the 179 that I saw Friday....not sure if the scale was just trying to be funny this morning or if I really lost 2 more pounds over the weekend. Is it normal to have this type of weight loss almost a year out? Maybe my lifestyle chance of cutting out meat and most gluten products is paying off. Or maybe the weekly B12 shots that I started getting 2 weeks ago is helping out? Im not sure what it is but I am so happy that the loss has picked back up.At the same time I am wondering what weight I will truly be happy at. I originally thought that 180 was the weight that I wanted to be. I remember telling myself that once I get to 180 I wouldn't want to lose another pound. But I think I want to lose a little more. 180 feels great don't get me wrong as I am not complaining at all, it is just what is that "happy" weight? Is there such thing? The more I think about it I honestly don't know if anyone is ever truly happy with their body/weight. I think about the beautiful top supermodels and they are usually on a diet, or changing their hair style, it is like a constant battle/struggle to be the best person we can be inside and out. I do know that not eating meat and really watching my food closly has made me feel a lot better. The B12 shots have really helped as well. I do not feel this HUGE energy burst but it does make it a little bit easier to get out of bed in the morning. I find that my motivation is higher to do things that I normally would frown upon doing. So I think I will continue them for a little while longer.
I have to admit that I am a little bit FRUSTRATED with myself thought. I love wine...it is something that I just started having a taste for before surgery. I use to never drink wine but then I finally found one that I like so I started drinking it more often. WELL....last night I got a bottle...not sure why but I thought "hey why not". Got completely drunk, and now today.....hangover city....and yes I am at work. It is noon and my motivation still hasn't come back...if you see him please send him back my may!! Thanks LOL. I have tried drinking water, hot tea, Emergen C, I had an egg for breakfast, then got to work and had some almonds....nothing is working. My head is spinning, I have the shakes. Now I fully understand why 1) I shouldn't drink and 2) I shouldn't drink the night before work. New goal....never drink again!!!!!!!!
and if I do....stick to one glass and one glass only. This feeling is SO NOT WORTH IT!Almost time for lunch, I brought a Boca Burger but I can't stand to sit in the office for an hour so I am going to go out. I think to this local Sushi place. They have these green bowls, lettuce topped with your favorite fresh ingredients. I think I want the fried tempeh, lemongrass tofu, and veggie medley with mushrooms, asparagus, cream cheese and avocado with eel sauce and spicy sauce. Sounds like a lot huh....for $9 bucks it should be lol. But that will be at least 3 meals for me, so I guess it is worth it LOL
