7 Months Today!

Oct 12, 2009

Today marks 7 months since my VSG.  I am AMAZED at the benefits of this procedure.  I've had my slowest weight loss to date this past month (4 lbs.) but I'm okay with that.  I was expecting after 6 months to slow down and I'm so near goal that slow and steady is the way I want to go.  Just in the last two days I've dropped the two pounds so maybe this months stall is OVA!  I STILL struggle with water and protein.  I'm beginning to think I always will struggle in this area.  I was never a water drinker before so why would I think it would come easily now?  The one thing that I have begun on a regular basis is exercise!  I'm doing a P90X dvd series with three neighborhood friends and we are all having fun.  These girls are fit and I can keep up, sometimes even easier than they can!  That is exciting to me!  I can even borrow there clothes, although I'm getting smaller than they are! 

I'm currently a size 8 in almost all my pants and jeans.  Quickly heading to a six it feels like and I'm good with that!  Only 12 lbs. to goal weight of 140 and by Christmas I feel that is doable, just need to have better than a 4 lb. loss next month.  The workouts should help, I'm only in week three of that program.  Okay, I'm going to drink some water to celebrate my 7 months, and I'll post some pictures soon!
