How much it too much??? Exercise, protein and Weight Loss.

Nov 15, 2009

This has been a nutty few months... So I am blogging to bare my soul.

With my ride being over I have been a HUGE slacker when it comes to exercise. I haven't been riding and I only touch the treadmill when I feel completely guilty about not exercising. I will make time for both again, I just have to realize that its going to be cold and rainy until May so I just have to do it. Hopefully, I will get a bike trainer for B-day/X-Mas. That will solve my cycling in the rain issue.

I have been good so far getting in my protein and Vitamins. All my labs came back fairly good and that is nice. I have noticed that as the weather gets cooler my desire to drink warm beverages has increased. I love drinking tea and sticking to the plan about giving up coffee has been hard but I have done it. Every once in a while I will have a decaf Tall Americano with a little half and half and a Splenda. The negative to all this hot tea is that I have noticed that I am only getting in 2 protein shakes a day; not the 3 that Dr. S says I need. I haven't noticed any hair loss so far and I want to drink the protein... the hot tea just sounds and feels better...

My Weight loss hasn't fully stalled; still loosing about a pound a week but that feels sluggishly slow. It is painful to barely see the scale move from week to week. I feel great about where I am (157) and I have figured out that I only really need to loose between 5 to 15 more pounds. If I loose more than 15 pounds the concern is that I will be too thin once I have plastics done. I already have friends telling me that I have lost to much weight. Is this concern on their part or is it weight loss jealousy. I can see areas that I still need to loose in... my legs and arms need work. I know that Plastic Surgery will help in huge ways but is it possible to get the look I am after without the huge cost and pain of PS. Can it happen naturally? Just by working out and good old fashion time?

I am a little concerned about this time of the year... I would always gain the holiday 10/15 between my Birthday and New Years. I am a social eater... I could nibble myself to death at parties... and the holidays are one party after another. This year I have my WLS to help me but I have to remain in control of the nibbling. I really want to achieve my weight loss goal by my one year mark; that means 14 more lbs in 3 months; at the rate I am going that could be a push especially if I truly stall during the holidays.
