20 weeks post op tomorrow
May 05, 2010
I have finally crossed the 75 pounds lost marker! Today I weighed in at 248.8, making me sub 250 for the first time since the early 1990's! And I have a new goal now... I have declared all out war on these next 23.8 pounds, as I really, really, really want to be down 100 pounds at the time of my 6 month follow up appointment at Adirondack Medical Center, which is scheduled for June 28th. I know I can do it.It has been a bit of a challenge these last few weeks. I have been fighting an awful sweet tooth urge and have splurged on ice cream more than I should. I also had to go out of town for the wedding of a cousin and that disrupted my workout routine for about a week. Plus, there was cake and candy and lots of bad things. I did not OVERdo it, I just DID it and knew I shouldn't be doing so, and as a result I did have a bounceback of a pound and a half. So I had t drop that again and then get the head back on track. I did not have ice cream yesterday at all - or any "bad" stuff. I have to keep reminding myself that nothing tastes as sweet or as good as dropping this weight is feeling.
I swear by Unjury protein powder! I have noticed that increasing the protein intake each day really helps keep the weight rolling off. I plan to have at least three shakes a day during my assault on these next 24 pounds! I like the vanilla the best because I can add other flavors to it. I make mine with half and half so I can ramp up the fat intake as well.
I can't believe that 6 more weeks makes it half a year since my surgery already! Wow, what a wild ride this DS adventure is!
