Scale success YAY

Jun 11, 2009

So I had my first fill about two and a half weeks ago.  I noticed a wee bit of restriction but not significant.  Right now it's really will power and sticking to protein, vegies and minimal carbs.  I will confess I do indulge in potato salad often tho; not that I did that much prior to surgery but it's a quick, easy side that's ready to go. I just make sure it's a very small amt and is handy if I dn't have time to get some salad or other vegies ready.  However, I'm trying to move away from that and maybe even make up some egg salad or curried egg on the weekend for the coming week instead.

So anyway, got on the scales this morning and I'm now at 330.8 lbs! A few days ago I hit the 50lb loss officially!!! So my first goal has been obtained!   My next big goal is being under 300lbs by my trip back home to Australia in September.  I'm confident it can happen!  I have a fill in July so hopefully that will make a big diffeence.  I have a 14 cc band and suspect I'm going to probably need at least two more fills to reach a decent restriction but we'll see I guess.

The one thing I KNOW is paramount, I totally know how important it is, but alas, have not been doing, is excercising.  I got the gym pass for my community center where I'm aching to get in the pool but have been so tired.  So I'm going to make it a new ritual that at least on Fridays - both mine and hubby's flex day, we'll go.  It's  a small sputter of a start, and he's in far, far better condition than I (he has maybe 20 lbs to lose but overall he has a GREAT body; very sexy, good-looking man...I'm a lucky gal) but I figure even a small start is a good start, and then I can build from the momentum.

I expect, once I start to get into it and feel more energized that I'll want to increase it.  I think right now my tiredness is greatly attributed to my weight.  Granted, it's 51lbs lighter than it was in February, but it's still a heavy, cumbersome body right now, that saps my energy.

Anyway, going strong.  Hope you all are too! *hugz*
