Feeling good again

Mar 06, 2014

The shingles are flat and going away, so glad!!! Started back to the gym day before yesterday...yeah!! Started of course with my favorite leg day so my quads, hamstrings & gluts are hecka sore!!  Slept like a log for the past 2 days though, evidently even through a raging thunder/lightning storm the other night. Yesterday started walking again, 2- 15 min walks, 1- 25 minute walk, felt great.   Last night worked chest/back/bicep/triceps so woke up this am a little stiff...no worries, tonight will be elliptical and hopefully 30-40 laps in the pool.  Still at 201 lbs...crap.

Been having a little trouble with the dense proteins lately, have to be more careful to eat more slowly, trying to keep the carbs under 40, but heck, the yogurt alone is 20!! Sometimes I will eat a piece of chicken or beef and it feels like it gets stuck then I feel sick to my stomach for about 20-30 minutes, found if I sip some water it helps.  Last night had just yogurt for dinner. 

One victory, hard one to do though...emptied my closet out of all my professional dresses/suits, gave them to a friend at work.  It is hard to say goodbye to old friends...like you can be a friend to your clothes...but I know what I mean.  A lot of memories in those dresses...I don't want to buy any dresses until summer, hopefully I will be able to get a "normal" size dress!!  In size 16-18 pants right now, blouse is still 18-20.

gotta remember...Baby steps!! Stay positive!! Be an example for those around me who need this surgery and are fearful!
