Six Months Back on Track

Mar 17, 2017

I just realized that it has been six months since I decided to get off my ass and get back on my bariatric diet.  Tired of carting around 91 pounds of the 97 I regained in the years after my surgery in 2008,  October 15, 2016 I had finally had it.  That day, I weighed in at 235.  This morning, 17MAR17, I weighed in at 193.4!  I wil be happy to lose another 35 pounds, but would be most pleased with another 45. 

My momentum is increasing.  I have been very vigilant about my protein and carbs.  Recently, I have increased my activity and have been endeavoring to get at least five miles of walking a day.  I have joined my first "Weekend Warrior" FitBit Challenge, and hope to do well.  I'm not particularly motivated to move naturally.  But, as I said, my momentum is rolling!

My trainer reminded me to have a little 'treat' every once in a while, so much as it won't push me over the edge.  My sugar free White Mocha (5 Sparrows Sugar Free White Chocolate Mocha with Stevia and Xylitol) has been something I was quite resistant to give up.  Today I will be enjoying my white mocha with my 5 Sparrows, WITHOUT protein, and also a piece of pizza (thin crust), as my 'treat'.  Then back on the wagon.

I have been having difficulty finding a good time to blog as I go along, but I guess six months is good.  It has become clear to me that it is going to take a lot of exercise at this point to continue to have continued good movement in losses, and that's what I like.

I'll check back in when I get into my skinny jeans I have from my last surgery!!!
