Doing pretty good too. I started back at the gym yesterday, and I feel so much better about that. 20 minutes yesterday, and 21 today on the treadmill. Nothing hard or strenuous, but I can tell its helping. I finally broke the 300lb mark, and am at 299.4 as of today. I can honestly say that its been 7+ years since I could say that. Considering my highest weight was 346 this summer - I can say I am doing pretty damn good.
I ate some real food tonight. I made twice baked potatoes with FF sour cream, FF milk, and I cant believe its not butter. I also made a wonderful pork loin roast with garlic. I had about 4 small bites of the pork loin, and about 2 bites of the potato. I kept wondering when I would feel full, and what it would feel like. After the second bite of the potato, all the sudden my stomach said HALT! I put my plate in the kitchen and was done! lol Its been over an hour, and I still feel a little full. I am now drinking my Crystal Lite since I didn't get in as much liquids as I have been doing. Today was crazy busy! I don't even know how I am going to get my shake down later???
Tomorrow is my 35Th birthday. *Gulp. OMG 35 years old. My husband bought me a brand new stereo for my truck, so happy. CD/Satellite/Ipod/USB and HD radio. I got it installed today since they were booked for tomorrow! I LOVE music when I drive, and actually I need it. It keeps me from running people down when I am singing to my music. lol
I have not had any pain meds (Tylenol) since Monday morning. I am sleeping good and have actually a lot of energy. Today I got tired around 2pm, but just took a break and my energy came back. I am getting in about 70G of protein in and I am trying to get at least the recommended 64oz of water a day. So far so good!
I am a stubborn mule, and just refuse to eat anything pureed. Cant and wont!! So, I am combining stage 1 and stage 3, but taking it very easy. I have not had one single issue with my pouch at all - which I am still torn about if that's a good thing or not?!
I tried on my old jeans a few days ago. The legs were baggy, but, the waist was very tight, which confuses me. The only thing I can think of is that maybe my stomach is swollen from the surgery? Those pants used to fit me when I was 320ish - they should be big on me?? I will try them again next week and see what happens.
On my way.................
