Good morning OH world! What a weekend! I hope everyone had a good one, I sure did, filled with lots of NSVs! 

My event on Saturday night went really well - so many comments on my new appearance. As you all know, the attention can be both great and overwhelming at times. I had such a fun time getting ready this year though - I'm a little nail polish obsessed so I got fancy Essie nail appliqués, new eye make up for a smokey eye, and my dress made me feel down right hot!

 

But not only did the event go well - I also tried Spinning for the first time! What a workout - holy crap! I don't think I've ever sweated so much, but it felt good. I felt strong and healthy and like I was really working. I definitely plan to go back. Yesterday I met a girl friend at a local wildlife refuge and we took a lovely walk on the trails. It was nice to catch up with her and do so over a walk and cup of coffee instead of food and booze (she's 5 years post-op, so she gets it).

I'm trying a little experiment today. It seems as though on days I'm eating 1200 calories the next day I lose, but even at 1100 I'm not. So today I'm up at 1200 to see what the scale brings me tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Time since surgery: 7 months

B: Quest bar - I'm headed to my sleep doctor so need grab and go. I'm hoping I get to leave my CPAP with them!

S: coffee with half and half, apple and peanut butter

L: Cottage cheese double, deli ham, carrots

S: almonds and a babybel

D: TJ's chili lime chicken burger and spicy pumpkin seeds

S: Skinnypop and Cool Whip FroYo

TOTALS: Calories 1203, Protein 83, Carbs 97, Fat 61

V/W: started

E: Pilates...I think, if I'm brave enough

Make it a good one y'all.

Good Morning.  Anny, you look stunning!  The dress looks gorgeous on you and you should feel hot in it because you look hot. 

I had a great weekend.  We didn't do a whole lot but my eating and exercise was all good so that makes me feel great.  I ran 4 miles for the first time on Saturday.  I had always been running about 3 1/2 and afraid to pu**** up for some reason.  I didn't even notice the difference and my time is getting faster every day. 

Ran 3 miles this morning.

B:  premier protein, tea

S:  Carmel apple greek yogurt

L:  pepper crisps with turkey and laughing cow

D:  oven baked chicken breast and roasted sweet potatoes both are from Schwann's live smart collection.  

S:  apple and PB2 and popcorn

Totals:  897 calories,  87 protein, 97 carbs

I would love to up my calories to 1,100 but am so afraid that I will gain.  I seem to gain so easily. 

Have a great day!

Anny, hot mama!  You look fabulous!  I LOVE the dress :)

We were away all weekend with a house with 30 people, it was a big mansion in VT, absolutely beautiful.  The girls went for a 2+ mile walk on Saturday, and the house is straight up a hill that kicked my butt so hard.  I was panting going up it and my bum still hurts!  But it is good, and I am glad I got some exercise in because the food was challenging this weekend.  Lots of snacking....

I am at the same weight as of this morning.  We are done with vacations til New Years, so I am back in gear.  45 minutes on the ellitpical tonight and the trainer first thing tomorrow AM.  I am officially down 80 lbs, my goal is 100 by my 30th birthday, which is January 10th.  I WILL DO IT :)

Anny, you look so great!  I think sometimes I like the 'getting ready' part of a fancy evening more than the actual event.  ha-ha   My weekend was nice; the weather was super crappy but I got my baking done (mostly), spent some time on the couch and for a brief shining moment, all of the laundry was done. 

B:  coffee and Yopa! YoCrunch vanilla with choc/PB crunchies

L:  Healthy Choice Slow Roasted Turkey Bake

D:  Barbacoa beef with queso fresco and pickled onions

S:  whole wheat pumpkin muffin (100 Days of Real Food recipe) with a TB of Polaner SF + Fiber apricot preserves

TOTALS:  Cals:  798  Protein:  63  Carbs:  58  Fat:  31

Good morning, OH friends!  Anny, I love love love the make-up and dress!  Hell yes you got comments!  You look amazing.  

I also had an incredible NSV this weekend.  My size 14 pants have been baggy but I tried some on for this big business meeting tomorrow (I work from home so don't normally need to dress up) and they were Bozo the Clown big!  So I went to Nordstrom Rack on Saturday after doing a circuit training class, and I gathered up literally 8 pairs of size 12 pants to try.  Ummmm...apparently I skipped 12 and I am a 10!  It seems like a fluke!  But I bought a pair of leggings, a size 10 pair of jeans (loving the brand Not Your Daughter's Jeans) and a size 10 pair of Calvin Klein work pants.  Plus about 8 other items, but I am planning to return some because hindsight is 20/20 and I don't need them all!

So when I started this "journey" at 369 lbs, I randomly and arbitrarily set a goal of 170, but wasn't even sure it was attainable.  Then as I flew through the 200s, I thought well maybe 160 is possible?  Today I hit 170!!!!!!  Shocking and exciting.

Time Since Surgery: 10 months, 1 week

B: Chike, two coffees with sugar-free mint creamer

L: Leftover turkey chili

S: Light and Fit yogurt

D: Crabs!  And maybe a few fries

E: Doing cardio at the gym at lunch

Totals are only 900 calories, 88 g protein, 56 g carbs.  I will definitely be adding in some more food - I can't live on such low calories these days :)  I will be closer to 1,200.

Have a great day, everyone!  EM
