The Good...The Bad... and The Ugly!
Jun 17, 2009
Hi everyone - Long time no blog!!!Thought it was about time to update my journey and say hello. So... the GOOD is I feel so much better in so many ways its amazing. No more insulin, daily headaches, frequent naps, snoring, uncomfortable in my own skin, depression, fad diets.... the list goes on!!! At 50 lbs lost my life had already really changed and so has my confidence and attitude. I play more with my son, have more energy to do physical things at a moment's notice and still can't believe I don't shop in the plus size section anymore. Wearing a size10 in pants and a large in most shirts, but starting on mediums. I feel blessed.
Okay moving on... the BAD... have not been following my program as well as I should and the weight loss is at a standstill, deservingly so. Can't explain what's going on so I'll use the excuse of possibly boredom, or I got to sure of myself to quickly, or I am seeing post op really is more about the mind and less about the diet. At least I am now drinking the required amount daily and am getting in the protein. I have all together stopped working out and blaming a crazy work schedule and personal life, even though I know it's a must and needs to be done daily (at least for me), just like brushing my teeth in the am and pm. Keep telling myself I am going to get back on the program 100%, but find it easier said than done.
Finally... the UGLY... oh my lord the hair loss is in full force and I am really stressing cause my hair in thin to begin with. I am doing Biotin, using Nexeum shampoo and conditioner and getting protein boosts every other week for my hair from my hairdresser. I can see regrowth, so hopefully its helping. Also, my bat wings (upper arms) are looking yucky, but still hoping they will tighten up a little bit.
So that's it... my update. Going to force myself to weigh in on Monday and attend the monthly meeting (which I have missed the last 3 times). Maybe that will help motivate me and get me back on track. All in all things are good. So, till the next blog - Cheers!
