Good morning :)
I've already been up cleaning out our sunroom to get ready for next weekend :) we don't use it much do it tends to be where we put all the extra stuff. This morning we have a doctor's appointment but other than that it will probably be house stuff. I even weeded my back walkway last night -- we had a monster weed that was turning into a tree but I just kept trying to ignore it lol.
QOTD: inside or outside? Do you prefer doing house stuff inside or outside? I'm an inside person for sure. My skin is quite fair and I hate having to plan for being outside -- hat, sunscreen, etc.

Hello guys (from my Wednesday morning self)
Busy work day yesterday but I was thinking about you guys!
B-half a protein shake
S -half a protein shake
L - chicken thigh, 2 soda crackers and a piece of motz cheese
S - salsa and 12 WW nacho chips
D - missed - the evening just got away with me
S - greek yogurt
That's a great start!
My weight loss has started to slow - I know I shouldn't, but I find that I continue to compare with others and feel like I'm slower than most. I try and remind myself everyone is different, and I also feel like (based on my support group discussions) a lot of ppl don't eat enough protein. They are probably losing muscle. I have 90 grams of protein consistently every day. So I try to tell myself that I'm protecting as much of the good stuff as I can, and maybe that's why it's slow.
Because things slowed down, I've also now gotten more active and am seeing if that helps at all to keep me at a 10 pound monthly loss for at least another 3-4 months. My fingers and toes are crossed.

Good morning :)
Nothing planned again today. The little nugget woke up weirdly early -- I'm assuming something maybe outside woke her up. I was able to snuggle her back to sleep for a bit. Mostly household stuff today. Blech. Gotta get this place shipshape -- the little nugget's first birthday is coming up soon :)
I can't remember where I was the other day, but I also stuck to a chair... Darn all that post-op loose skin to peal off slowly lol.
Post-op four years and four months.

Dinner - leftover pulled pork

Halfway through the week ;)
Last night I got DRENCHED leaving the gym enough that I had to dump my shoes before I started driving. I always shower right after a workout but that was ridiculous. Sunny days ahead by the looks of it.
Thought of the day: It's a sure sign of summer if the chair gets up when you do.
B - boiled egg, SF apples sauce
S - turkey pepperette
L - 2 chicken skewers, salad
S -turkey kielbasa, cheesestring
D - protein shake once I get done workout
S - peanut butter, graham crackers
I didn't start working out til this month at a gym but had been taking walks every night or using my indoor cycle at home since probably 4 months out of surgery. They tell you to hold off on weight training until at least 6 because there is a chance you are not completely healed and you don't want to mess up the incision or there would be big problems.
Hmmm I think I ate lettuce once I was a couple of months out but check the book they gave you and it should tell you when you can add certain veggies back into your menu.
