I got on the Scale

Feb 15, 2010

Yesterday was my 1 month surgerversary.  I still cant believe that it has been a month already.  Over all I my doing very well.  I've got my energy back and have started working out consistently everyday for at least 30Min's.  I have received a few "Are you loosing weight " questions and I have even been able to fit into a jean skirt and dress that I had not wore in years.  But the weight loss is coming off very slow.  I know that I said that I was not going to get on the scale until I see my Doc which will be next week but guess what? My curiosity got the best of me and this morning when I got up I got on the scale.  I was happy at what it read but sad also.  I have lost another 6lbs (Happy  ) but I was also (Sad ) because I was hoping for more of a loss.  The sane  side of mw was  jumping for joy and doing the happy dance but the crazy side is a little down because I was hoping for more of a loss.  But why should I be sad I mean come on the scale said 229 lbs....I have not seen that number since since well I cant tell you the last time I have seen 229lbs.   O.k. so the weight is coming off a little slow....is this a race? Rejoice right? Nope not me Ive got to beat myself up first.   I think that what I have been doing is comparing my weight loss to other people who have lost much faster.  But I am not them and I know that weight loss has always been a struggle for me. I just have to work harder.  One thing that I know that I am not doing is getting in all of my water and protein.  So for the next 2 weeks I am going to aim for the following:

45 minutes aerobic activity 7x per week
2 bottles of water (40oz)
2 Protein shakes (100grams)
Take all of my vitamins
