Topic: RE: I am on the 7 day ALL PROTEIN DIET
My average meal is approx 1/3 of a cup. I have 3 protein shakes a day and work hard to keep my protein over 100 grams per day. For snacks I eat things like 1 oz mixed nuts, or hummus, of babybel light cheese. Protein is always my focus on the day.
Just came back from a week vacation as well and while I defineately ate more than usual, I think keeping protein the focus helped because I actually lost a little. I made sure to take a lot of snack foods with me when I travelled and water bottles were always in my purse. I would recommend that anyone heading off for vacation make a plan for how they will handle meals and snacks. For me, prior planning seemed to help a lot.

Topic: 8 months - Reflections
It's amazing to think that 8 months have past since surgery. Some days have been hard. Some have been easy. Since my journey began in October of 2008 with my medical supervised diet, I have lost 97 pounds. Since I see the same face in the mirror each morning, I don't always get the real picture. So this past week, I took the time to compare SIDE BY SIDE pictures of before and after...it is still amazing to me. I FEEL so much better! My health has improved!
I have not had complications and for that I am thankful. I have followed the plan and for the most part have stuck to what I know is good. I have not exercied as much as I should and I know that both my body shape and weight loss have been impacted, but my exercies plan is improving!
I've been stuck at the same weight for about a month. Checking in with my July pals, it seems to be a common theme. I still have a ways to go to hit my personal goals. AND I need to start saving for reconstructive surgery!

Girl, listen to Auntie Gena....live ya life...not in fear or un-deservedness! You are beautiful! You are worthy! You are a Georgia Peach, mami! So flip the script girl...time to start thinking - "Why wouldn't they want all this fine-ness!"...
I know it takes our mind so much longer to catch up with our bodies and that's ok...because fortunately you need only your body (mouth) to say, "yep, i'll go" and (legs) to take that first step!
So go on walk it out girl...and let us know how well it goes when you're riding up and down those rollercoaster rides. And act scared, even if you're not...guys like that, plus you can hold on to them!
Luv ya girl!!!
