Things are getting better...
Jan 17, 2009
Well, this week has been better. I called Dr. Valin's office and they suggested taking benefiber so after a few days I've been getting somewhat regular. Next, I've been going the gym! I went four days this week for at least an hour --- been going on the treadmill and met with a trainer who gave me a list of six things to do with reps of 18x's with 4 lb weights. Its cool because I can do the exercises at home since I have the same weights to make sure all my body parts don't sag as I loose the weight. Speaking of weight, I finally made a break through and went down to 269.4. I know it's because I am moving around a lot more this week and putting my mind to doing my best. Although I have been wanting to eat more I am trying very hard not to do it. I am so used to the full feeling and trying to break that habit.One thing that has occurred to me is how I don't feel so sluggish and overstuffed. I really ate just as much or even more than my husband. Now, taking my Small 5 oz bowls I look at my very large square plates and can't believe how much I would really stuff in my mouth.
My next challenge will be cooking next weekend. Having a party for my two kids since my daughters party was canceled because of the snow so nobody came. My son is turning 13 on next Sunday so all the family and Friends are coming up from NY, just hoping it doesn't' snow again next weekend. I went out and bought a wl cookbook and just paging through it to see what to make different since I'm getting board with the same ol stuff. Soon enough the hubbie will be happy when he can make me a nice dinner.
Since it's been so cold I'm probably going to make my cabbage soup since it's always a big hit. Going to make sure I get a veggie, cheese and shrimp platter and going to skip the chips and dip. I really don't want to bring any of those old foods in the house because temptation is not something I want to be dealing with at this point.
Well, I hope everyone is doing well...keep me posted on how your doing.
