It's Been Awhile!
Feb 14, 2010
Hi All!
It's been awhile since I've written here. I think its' been since the actual surgery. Wow, I'm a slacker. So I guess I'll start by saying things are good. I'm 3 months out and I'm down just over 50lbs. I've had a couple stalls but am back to losing. I was off of work for 5 weeks total, went back for 1/2 days for 4 days and then got to have another week off for Christmas. I went back to work full time after the 1st of the year. In January I started going back to school. I'm just taking one class right now but it keeps me busy. I also started going to Water Aerobics at a local school in my city. I'm LOVING it! I am actually going to be sad when it ends for the summer in May. Between work, school, water aerobics, and the gym it seems I'm hardly on anymore. It's not because I don't want to keep up with all of you because I most certainly do. I just feel like all I do is go to work and by the time I get home I go to bed. The weekends seem to be filled with catching up on all the things I don't get done during the week. But enough of that. On to the weight-loss.
I'm not getting enough protein. I find it hard to get all my protein in. I am definitely finding I can eat more than I could 3 months ago and that scares me. I have to be very mindful. In the first month or so I had some episodes of eating too fast and too much and would get sick if I wasn't paying close attention. I don't have that problem so much anymore. I've learned to eat slower, take smaller bites. I thought I was doing good before surgery with that but little did I know..lol. I learned very quickly though.
I didn't notice the difference so much but others noticed alot. Now I can see some of the weight loss but I guess I don't see it nearly as much as others do. I am excited about my journey. I am just short of being half way to my goal wieght. I've set a goal of 150lbs for myself. I don't know what I'll look like when I get there or if I will set a lower goal when I get there but for now I'm 60lbs away! This morning at my weigh in I was 211.5. I had a starting weight of 267 on the morning of my surgery.
Sorry my post is so scattered. I am at work this morning and I had to stop several times to do work related things. I will try to update this blog much more often and get on here and post more often. Thanks to everyone that has been an incredble support to me.! Megan, I haven't forgotten about you I swear! Jani, Mary, and Suzanne, and Randy thanks for all of your support you are awesome!
I'll sign off for now but look forward to catching up with all of you!
