WOW! 15 months have come & gone
Jul 07, 2010
I can't believe it has been 15 months since my surgery! WOW oh WOW how time has flown! So what has changed in the last month? Well to start with, I got an unfill a week ago and it was the best decision I ever made! Ahhh to be able to eat a meal again! I was having a lot of stuck episodes even though I was drinking hot liquids prior to eating so I knew it was time to take the bull by the horns and be proactive. I think my body just needed that food to release some of this weight. Within the week of getting the unfill I dropped 6lbs. The sheer joy of seeing that lower number on the scale!!!!!!! Which leads me to the question;WHY DO WE OBSESS OVER THE NUMBER ON THE SCALE?
The fact of the matter was, I dropped two sizes in three months. But somehow that was not good enough! I was so focused on the number reading on the scale. Logic told me that all my workouts turned fat into muscle and therefore the scale wasn't moving much! But my heart & soul was upset about some numbers on a scale. So in the coming months, I've vowed to weight myself less and rely on my clothes to gauge things more.
I've also learned that a healthy body needs fruits & veggies as well as just protein. My body feels better when I'm able to eat carrots sticks, enjoy an apple w/ peanut butter, enjoy watermelon on a hot day & delight in a great veggie stir fry. Balance in every aspect makes you far healthier than sticking to only one way of eating!
So I'm so very close to my goal of fitting into a size 12! They slide up and fit, they just don't zip & snap! And I'm working toward that goal to getting in those pants! Every size after that is a gift to be cherished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So my goals going into month 16 are to continue working out 5 days a week, continue to drink my 100 ounces a day, weigh myself every two weeks, take all my vitamins, continue to try various recipes and remember to always have a positive attitude!
Love & Hugs to all!
