2 more pounds and 3 underwear sizes

Aug 11, 2011

Because I'm trying to avoid buying new clothes, I've been dealing with the baggy things and doing a lot of closet shopping. BUT my underwear are a great measurement for me. I've been struggling with being stuck off and on but it seems like when that happens, my clothes fit differently. Sure enough, yesterday I had to break out a new size underwear (I HATE baggy underwear so I'll just have to keep buying them, honestly). Today, I'm down 2 pounds. I'm not sure I trust it completely, but I'll take it.

I also remembered tortilla pizzas from my low carb days. I bought some Mission Carb Balance Wheat 6" tortillas, heated both sides in a skillet with a little Pam. I heated up some leftover japanese chicken, mushrooms, zuchinni, etc too. I put a teaspoon of marinara sauce on the tortilla, a little cheese on top of that and the hot leftovers on top and then let it cook for a few minutes until it was all melted and a yummy pizza thing. I bought some olive tapaneade and some salsa and stuff, I figure I can change it up and use up the leftovers in more creative ways. I'm getting tired of straight leftovers, honestly. Plus the doc said to stop worrying about carbs. I chose the wheat carb balance though because they are the thinnest and have 10 fiber in it.

It also helped me hit higher calories, I got just over 900 yesterday! Score! Who knew this would EVER be a problem I would have? It's funny because I've eaten the toppings off of a pizza a few times and it felt so greasy and fake. I haven't tried the crust, I don't imagine that I will, honestly. The tortilla is very thin and small and was super yummy. Whew. And everything went down well, everything was soft enough, etc.

I also skipped out on working out last night. Apparently, I need to eat carbs and be lazy to lose weight. I'm totally kidding ;) Looking forward to getting more and more into strength training. If I'm honest, I don't like the walking, the elipitcal or the treadmill all that much. I do it because I'm supposed to and I feel good after. But I really kind of like weights. It's hard sometimes, but I like the challenge and I like seeing muscles pop up - and even more so - pop up through the fat these days. So fun. Plus I like the feeling of being strong and able to kick some ass if needed ;)

I also totally respect my surgeon, but I'm not sure that his goals will be inline with what my body thinks it needs to do. I really do think it's just holding on to every ounce of fat for dear life. Losing weight, even when I was doing it right, has always been kind of difficult. I think I will go visit my primary doctor and have her pull labs earlier though. I should have been on my vitamins long enough now (a month) that it should be accurate. I'm interested to see how they look. I also want to talk to her about B12 shots vs the sublingual pill I'm doing now.

Okay, that's it for now... Can I also say that I'm SO exited to hit 300? I know I have at least a month or two to go, but I cannot WAIT.
