Half-Way Mark!

Jan 15, 2011

YES! I made it! One pound shy of my minimum half-way mark!  At this rate I should be at my target by April/May. Just in time for the big 3-1.

Struggles? Yes. Still having a lotttt of trouble with my fluid intake. However, I am doing a bit better with my protein. I have learned to love breakfast smoothies and am getting good at mixing flavors. Actually, sometimes I crave the smoothies during the day. If you want ideas I'm the go-to girl.

I took a chance and gave in to my 3-month-long craving. I had my filet mignon (Mm!)  with broccoli and baked gold potato. Had leftovers for lunch today. I was only able to eat 1/2 a filet but it was worth it. And, while my dietitian told me to wait til I was 3-6 months post-op, I handled it great. No problem at all. Still, I'm not big on red meat but it was a nice lil' treat. (Rhyme?) lol

As far as clothing, I am now in a large 14 jeans and my shirts are gradually getting smaller on me. Yeah, I lost weight in my boobs (and belly). LOL They're always the first to go. Booty is the last. I am noticing my thigh skin getting a lil wrinkly. I don't like that but it's a good sign.

I think I should treat myself to some cute underwear/bras. It's about time for that.

Saw my therapist and psychiatrist yesterday. They both said I was looking really good and am doing great emotionally. They're happy for me about the college thing and think (as do I) and they think it will do wonders for my self-esteem.

I have noticed that I am starting to lose hair a little more lately.  I know that's normal. Besides that, I have SO MUCH hair that I could afford to lose a little. Some people pay to get their hair thinned. lol

Other than that ... Well, we had about 4 inches of snow last week so the boys were off school for 3 days and drove me crazy! Now they have Monday off so that's 3 more days of crazy. Thank God my psychiatrist gave me some "chill pills"! Somebody coulda got strangled r thrown down the stairs if I didn't have them! j/k ... Maybe ...

Well, that's about it. Stay tuned!
