Ugh...

Jan 13, 2010

I'm finished will all my pre-op work with the exception of one last thing.... I need to lose 15 pounds before I can meet with the NP to review I’ve got everything done and get a surgery date.

In the beginning of December I cut out almost all soda. I used to drink a minimum of 3-32 oz cups per day at work plus 2-3 cans when I got home! I'm down to one, sometimes even just a half of soda now. I’ve stopped eating out at lunch and brining my lunch with me so I can have more control of what I'm eating. We've cut back at home too not eating out as much and having smaller portions. Heck, I've even started exercising... the Wii is kicking the crap out of Mii!

So... my weight for Sept, Oct and Nov didn't change at all; thus the changes in December. I guess that's a good thing as I could have gained weight, right? Today I was so excited to go to the doctor to get weighed I just knew that scale was going to move the right direction. After waiting almost 40 minutes to step on the scale for 2 seconds I lost... are you ready? A whopping half of pound!!! WTH?!?!?! Of course, my first thought is maybe it was the scale. The other times I’ve gone to the local navy base to get weighted they used the old slider scale; today they used a digital scale that they had to dust off before I got on.

Although I am frustrated with myself, the scale, and everyone else at this point I'm going to stay on track. After all 15 pounds really isn't that much, but it doesn't seem to want to leave. Maybe those pounds know that they are never coming back so they’re gonna be a pain in the wazoo to get rid of!! Instead of waiting another month to get weighed I’m going to go back in two weeks and have see what a non-digital scale says… I better see progress!!!
