1 year follow up

Jun 03, 2017

On Friday June 2nd, I had my 1 year follow up appointment. The medical team is very impressed with my progress I had made. From my highest weight, I can say that I have lost the weight of another adult. Pre-surgery weight I have lost 64 pounds. I also found out that since I do 3 days of strength training and 5 days of cardio I needed to increase my calorie intake from 1100 to between 1200-1400 calories. When my nutritionist told me this information I went into panic mode. I told her that if I eat that much I will put back on all the weight I had lost. She said that I was not getting enough calories for the working out I was doing and that was causing me to slow down on my weight loss, I also asked her about muscles weight, she told me that yes it weighs more but it is better than fat. I can totally agree on that one.

I also did the Relay for Life last night with my oldest daughter, and I was able to get 6.62 miles in before her ankle that she twisted started hurting. I made my goal that I had set for myself of doing a 5 K around my one year make and not having to stop because my back or my legs, or my feet started hurting. I only stopped if I needed to get my water or get more protein in my system or run to the restroom. I am so proud of myself for being able to get this done. I think this is going to become an annual thing for her and I. The picture I took on the track is really dark so you can't see me that well. I will see if I can find the group picture that was taken and crop myself out and add it at a later time.
