Semi Annual Update!
All's well in Shariland, I just am too busy living life to discuss it, I guess!
Sig Ot and I are doing well. I'm still up and down between 149-157 pounds, (am 153 today) over and over-- I retain buckets of water when I exercise and I still do Zumba 2x a week and try to walk most days. I still count every calorie M-F, (I eat 1700 a day) and am looser on weekends but not crazy-go-nuts, and eat like it's going out of style on holidays. No regain to speak of, and I feel good and clothes still fit well over 3 years after I started losing, so all's well inna world, I suppose!
Still love cooking-- the guy who was helping me with my website crapped out but I'll get on it when I can-- I have recipes galore (I just make a chicken alfredo caeerole that's mindblowing.) My meals tend to be about 200 cals for breakfast, 300 for lunch, 500 or more for dinner, with plenty of snacks-- I eat an apple every fweakin' day because I love apples, and end most nights with a whole cup of greek yogurt and tbsp of Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter, which is about the world's most perfect food. I have ice cream in one form or another about 4 times a week in the summer, and it works for me. So the post RNY lifestyle doesn't have to be a death March: it's about management, not deprivation. Eat smarter, not less.
My most recent pic is quasi-racy because I wanted people to have a sense of what's achievable with work, a plastic surgeon and a little moxie so I done dismembered m'self to show it-- I have 2 more rounds of plastics to endure (my ass is heinous and will be done this summer, and thighs when I win the lotto.) You lose 220 pounds, you're gonna have skin-- that's just the name of that game. I've had my face, chest (no implants), gut and arms reconstructed already. Well, and my hair, which came back inexplicably curly after my last 13 hour surgery!
ETA: Well....I'd post it here if I could upload it...anyone know why I can't upload pics tonight here? OH having a spasm?
Thanks for asking after me, to those who have-- I still exist and am doing really well! I'm off to make sugar free angel food cupcakes-- so good with fresh berries...yum, summer!
