BARELY under goal and starting a food service

Jan 01, 2015

Well, it has been three years. I did manage to survive year two without regaining past my goal weight. But, even with that I am in need of working on my weight. I was down to 185 for a long time, and just plain old feel better at that weight. I started having weight issues after my double mastectomy this past April, and I am not even that clear on how my of my weight change is due to adding fat versus implants. Because of this, I am going strictly off of how I look. My clothes certianly still fit, but my Jcrew slacks no longer have any extra room in the waist. They are not overly snug, but any more of a gain and they will be. So, my goal is to take off the 10 pounds.

My eating has really deterioriated over the last several months. I am one to really eat bad choices at night, and when I exercise in the evening it really shields me from this. I have not been able to exercise since April. I am still too sore from my surgery a few weeks ago, but expect to be able to at least begin walking in about a month. I really want to be able to get back to using the elliptical. i can work on upper body issues closer to summer. 

Today I recieve my package with a month worth of meals. I found a Groupon from personaltrainerfood.com that sends through meals for the month for $200. The catch is that there is only one servng of protein, and all of the rest of the meals are veggies. Right now though, that actually sounds pretty darn good. I have been neglecting veggies for a while and have been craving them. Everything is frozen and individual servings so it couldn't be easier. I am going to do these meals along with 2 shakes (100 calorie version) a day to get my protein levels up. This program will go along way to stabalizing my blood sugar levels, which have really been off lately. I can feel the roller coaster that I am on and am so done with the incessant cravings I have been dealing with. 

Size wise I am a 14 tall upper body and a 12 tall in slacks (Jcrew sizing) or a large at Old Navy. Weight is at 194.7 this morning, with a bit of that being from swelling. Even with the extra pounds I still look and feel great, although very out of shape from the utter lack of exercise for the entire year of 2014. I realized today that for all of last year I was only cleared for exercise for a total of 6 weeks out of the entire year. I feel fortunate my weight isn't more out of whack than what it is!

So, new year- new goals. Off to a good start!
