Desperate times...

Jun 15, 2015

Call for desperate measures!  In order to get my weight loss moving again I've resorted to a Pre-Op diet sort of lifestyle.  

Breakfast: Protein Shake
Lunch: Protein Shake
Dinner: 4 oz lean meat
Snack: ONE snack of either low fat string cheese, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.

I have lost 6 lbs in 7 days and that is a DAMN MIRACLE!

I can't believe it!  I spent so much time trying to reduce calories, increase calories, reduce again, increase carbs, decrease carbs, exercise more, lift weights more, get more sleep, etc nothing was working to boost my weight loss out of the funk that I was going through.  But now I think I've finally found a good rhythm.  I'm also not doing crazy intense workouts anymore.  I'm making sure that I get between 7,000 - 12,000 steps a day (depending on weather) and I'm drinking my liquids.  

Also, when I increased my exercise I also got in my head to avoid artificial sweeteners.  But I've decided it doesn't make a bit of difference.  So I'm drinking my splenda products all day long and it's treating me just fine. 

On another note, I've got a new job!! It's funny... 7 months ago I left my job for another company offering me the same work, more perks, and more pay.  The entire time I was gone, the company I left was missing me and wanted me back.  Last week they called me and offered me a position for a couple bucks more an hour than what I'm currently making.  It was easy to turn that down. Afterall, I am very happy in my new job.  But then... they came back with an offer that increases my pay by about $8,000 per year  with an annual bonus of between 10-15% of my salary and it's a much better title with a lot more perks.  I couldn't refuse!!

Ever since I made the decision to have WLS amazing things have happened for me.  I just got engaged in April and this new job is going to help pay for my wedding.  I am SO incredibly happy with my life!
