Memorial Day

May 29, 2011

Well...I've been in a wicked stall for a month.  Bouncing back and forth 2 pounds.  I'm walking every morning and tracking everything that goes in my mouth.  So, I'll keep doing as I am and be patient...waiting for the scales to start moving again.  I did take a picture where I fit into one side, one leg, of a pair of capris!  What a great feeling!  I wish I had measured myself and kept track of it in my journals.  They do measure me at the bariatric center...I'm going to have to get those from them.  I'll be 8 months out soon.  I'm wondering just how much your weight loss slows...???...  I will however always have this tool, a smaller tummy and I'm going to keep on eating right... as I have made these dietary lifestyle changes for the better.  The whole changing of my eating, overall, has been easier than I thought it would be.  I think 'head hunger' is the most challenging.  But I'll brush my teeth or eat a SF jello...popsicle...gotta find what works for ya I guess.  I can't say that I have a cross addiction with anything.  Guess I'm boring ;-)  I do love my walking...it's a great way to meditiate too.  It's funny though...sometimes the hour flys by and others it seems to drag ;-)  I usually listen to rock 'n roll which keeps a good beat.  My husbad has lost 15 pounds!  I'm not much of a cook.  So, he's fending for himself ;-)  My favorite cooks are a chix veggie stir fry and crock pot meat balls.  Since this is Memorial day, I'm going to try my first grilled ribeye.  I don't like chewing so much.  I really don't.  I probably burn up a gazillion calories just with chewing!  So...we'll see how it goes.

So, in summary...I'm close to being 8 months out, walking everyday, watching my calories.  Getting in all my protein and supplements.  I have to say that my journey has been easier than I thought it would be...by God's Grace!

The FB group True Confessions-No judgement is great!  Such a compliment to OH.  We have a little over 450 people now!  So, that keeps me busy too!

Well...until next time ;-)...
