Day 1 Getting Back on Track
Jun 10, 2009
I really didn't think I'd be here so soon! I had surgery on April 8 and had done so amazingly well! -41 pounds since I did the info session last year; -28 pounds since surgery. Once I started eating regular foods, my loss started to slow. I had a big loss in the days after my first fill, but have stayed steady - even gained a bit since then. I don't have restriction and have just had grazing issues.It's too soon for me to fall into this! I can do it! I have done SO well so far! I am almost at my first goal of having a BMI under 40. But if this continues, I won't get there at all!
So, here's my commitment to all you - gotta keep myself accountable! I will check in every day and share where I am at! I am leaving on vacation to San Francisco in two weeks and don't want to go there with these bad habits. It will make for a very difficult week.
Here's what I am doing well, and vow to keep doing:
* Water, water, water. I have been drinking water a lot for years, but the difference now is that there is no pop involved! I missed a cold can of Coke for about a month, but don't anymore. That's HUGE for me
* Exercise - this is another huge thing for me! I have found exercise to be much easier and more enjoyable since I have lost this initial weight. I do it almost every day. It's generally walking or doing cardio games on the Wii. This WILL continue!
* Protein - I started having success with this back when I started with my nutritionist, and it has continued. Yay me!
Here's what I commit to doing differently:
* Taking snacks to work. I have found that I struggle in the evening when I have not planned during the day. Eating small snacks, focusing on protein, will be a huge thing for me!
* Not eating out. There will be lots of eating out in San Fran, so if I can focus on eating food I cook between now and then, I will be able to control what I eat.
* No evening snacking. For whatever reason, this has been a problem for me in the last week. This had really stopped being a problem for so long - I don't know where the issue came from this time! But this could ruin me completely.
* Make a doctor's appointment and try to get a fill. Gotta do it to try to give my band the best opportunity to work for me.
