Doing The Happy Dance!!

May 31, 2013

   I am down in the 160's now!  I weighed in at 169.6 this morning!  Yay!!  I haven't seen that number on my scale in 4 years!  I am telling ya, the intermittent fasting is the key for ME, and I am loving it.  I see Dr. Acosta in 3 weeks, so hopefully, I can get to the mid 160's by then.  I truly need to ramp up my exercising. 

Not too much to report.  I am still trying to eat as close to Primal as I can, but I do have slip-ups or unplanned eating during the week.  On the weekends, I do indulge in some non-primal foods.  So, the best explanation for my body finally shedding some weight is the fasting. 

Looks like the wedding date is set for August 22nd, and we might be making a trip to Las Vegas with some friends in late July.  So, I have many reasons to keep losing those extra pounds!  Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Countdown To My Next Appointment

May 23, 2013

I will see Dr. Acosta in just 4 weeks!  I plan on continuing my IF and primal eating, so I hope and expect that he will be happy with my progress.  I was down to 171 this morning!  Soooooooo close to being in the 160's!  It IS Memorial Day weekend, but that doesn't mean I have to totally blow it.  I normally eat pretty much whatever I choose to eat on the weekends, and it hasn't hurt me too badly.  I just need to keep it a bit on the lighter side or make sure I limit it to two days instead of the 3 day weekend.  ha ha

My period started last Sunday, and it's been a complete bitch of a period.  I can't complain too much.  This time last year, I was worried because my periods weren't coming and I was in a constant state of PMS.  My diabetic doc put me on Metformin to try and regulate my hormones, and it really did the trick.  Love her!  So, my  periods come on time every month once again. 

My fiance almost has my engagement ring paid off.  I can't wait to have it sized and wear it!  We are planning on a simple justice of the peace ceremony in August, and then a reception at our house that weekend.  That will be here before we know it, so I better start planning! 

I hope everyone takes some time remember the reason WHY we are celebrating/honoring Memorial Day.  I will be thinking about my grandfather, who fought in WWII.  I just lost him a couple of weeks ago.  His generation is/was such an amazing group of people.  I don't know if we will ever experience anything like it again in this country. 

Please have a safe and wonderful weekend!!

The Beauty Of Intermittent Fasting With WLS

May 16, 2013

I haven't updated in a few weeks, as life has been busy.  My grandfather passed away, and I traveled to Texas, then to Arkansas for his final resting spot.  He was such a brilliant man.  He has several patents in the oilfield and was able to revolutionize the way drilling was done in the early 70's.  I will miss him.  He had a long productive life, all anyone can ask for. 

When I found out that my grandfather was going to be placed in hospice, and during the week long trip, I ate horribly.  I also get very constipated when I travel.  So, I was up on the scale a bit before I left, at 175.6, but up even more when I got back home, at 182.3!!  Yikes!!  Almost a 10 pound gain from my last post!

I am happy to report that I started my IF and Primal eating this week and I am already down to 173.2!  Yay!!  I am sooooooo hoping to see the 160's by next week.  If I could get down to the low 160's for my appointment with Dr. Acosta on June 21st, I will be ecstatic!

Even though IF seems to be working for me, very well, I realize it's not for everyone.  I can't even imagine doing this without having my sleeve or some other type of WLS as a tool.  I do get hungry with my sleeve, unfortunately.  However, I know my hunger is much lower than it would be without it. So, if anyone has regain or slow weight loss, it might be worth looking in to.

My eating has been pretty good this week.  I even made a homemade pizza with cauliflower crust.  I have to say it was DELICIOUS but a pain in the butt to make.  Not sure we will have it very often!  ha ha

Hope everyone is FINALLY getting some spring and warm weather....have a great rest of the week!
