Month Four....

Apr 13, 2010

well, here I am at 229 this morning.  Things are going well, and I'm enjoying shopping!  I'm in a size 18 pants these days!  We are getting ready to leave for Europe in four weeks, and I set a goal of 220 or less by then.  I think that is doable.  My loss isn't at a lightning speed, only averaging two pounds a week lately.  But, with 70 pounds gone since December 1 and 54 since surgery day, December 14, I certainly can't complain.

I eat pretty much what I want, but I track everything, and I make sure to keep calories between 700-800, carbs not over 45, protein between 70-90.  I still shy away from bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes.  But, I did have two pieces of sushi for the first time two days ago.  Heaven! 

I generally go for a 15 minute walk at work with a friend, and I do 20 minutes on the elliptical each evening.  I could definitely do more in the exercise department, but this is manageable for now.

I hope to report back after my cruise (my five month anniversary will happen while we are gone) with a number closer to 215 or 210.  I don't have any specific weight goals in mind, but as long as I keep plugging along, I will be very happy!
