4 mts. out

May 14, 2009

Well this mth. wasn't a biggie in the weight loss dept. as i only went down 14 lbs. My body is doing some catching up I suppose. I have lost another 13 inches over all I'm down 83 inches and 88lbs. which means almost a lb per inch. I have been getting in my protein,my labs came back and I was low in iron so now I take iron and a multi vit. every day, I think my iron was low before surgery as well it was just not  monitored as close as it is now. I am still walking daily and working with small weights on my upper body so all in all I have not changed any thing from last math. just a slow loss. I hope next math. is speedier than this one...  I did have a small wow this math. we were heading out to a birthday for a friend and all my pants are getting loose ( even the ones I have taken in) so as I was folding laundry I tried on my stepsons jeans and to my surprise they fit like a glove, he didn't even notice until I told him I was waring his pants, ( now there my favorite pair).  As far as food goes I don't seem to have any problems, but I have noticed a big change in my relationship with food, I no longer obsess about it, I always try and get protein in first, food has become more like something I need to put in my body for fuel to do the fun things I enjoy instead of the main thing on my mind. This is taking some getting used to because I have read about this but never thought in a million years it would happen to me. I feel sometimes like an athlete putting in only good fuel so I can get what I want out of my body in return. It was really nice out here on Monday may 11, and I kept my daughter home from school just so her and I could go on a hike, well we were walking around one of my favorite lakes we found a Frisbee and played with it for at least an hour, this is just so different form anything I would have done as a mom 4 short mts. ago and for this I am so grateful. thank you Dr. Pitt and me for going forth with my choice of wls.
