17 days out

Oct 08, 2009

So today I went to my first Dr.'s appt since my surgery. I am down 15.5 lbs, so I am pretty happy with that. Still though, she told me today that I would probably lose 7 to 10 lbs a month. That doesn't sound like a lot to me! I mean, I can lose that in a week on a low carb diet. But then again, I would just gain it back, soooo, I guess I will just take it as it comes and enjoy the fact that I was lucky enough to have had this.
Went back to work yesterday. Pretty uneventful. Was a little tired, but all in all, not a bad day. Dreading tomorrow though. I have to work 10 hrs and I know I am gonna drop when I get home.
I am gonna try and find my Richard Simmons dvd's and start exercising to them. Laugh if you will, but he works your butt off and it is in the privacy of my home. So I don't feel bad if I need to sit and take a break.
Gettting plenty of water in. Still not eating much. and so protein is not going as well as it should. But today I bought some unflavored protein mix from Clarian, so I am gonna start adding that to my food, so hopefully that will come.
I was really wanting to be below 200 by Thanksgiving, but not sure if that is gonna happen. That means I would have to lose 25 lbs in like 7 weeks...I guess all I can do is try!!
Starting "soft foods" next Monday. Not sure how I feel about that. Food is still gonna be bland. And I hate meat, sooo it is gonna be a struggle. But hey, when is weight loss not a struggle! :)
