Sick and tired.

Feb 07, 2014

Being sick and tired is a GOOD THING.

I woke up this morning SO SICK AND TIRED of being 375#.

Sick of no energy in the morning.

Tired of always being sore.

Sick of wanting to lay in bed all day.

Tired of never wanting to do anything.

You know the phrase ‘sick and tired of being tired’? Well that is where I am and I am SO HAPPY.

I did a 10-min walk and had a protein shake. That’s supposed to be my ‘norm’ every morning but I don’t do it very often - maybe like once a week.

Halfway through my 3 month pre-op supervised diet. I have been slacking. It’s like my will is buried and barely audible, like it’s under layers and layers of felt or blankets. It's been buried there for years. And now this morning it is finally starting to wake up. With a roar!

My daily goals at this stage are:

  • 10 min walking a day
  • 60g protein a day
  • one-half pound non-starchy vegetables a day.

Walking is a big deal because I get sore grocery shopping. I used to be 30 pounds lighter, and I used to be able to walk the dog for an hour, or get on the elliptical for 30 minutes. Used to, used to, used to … now I want to sit down after the first 5 minutes of the Walk at Home DVD warm up.

But. No beating myself up. Today’s walk is in the books and I’ve gotten in ⅓ of my protein so far and it’s just 9:15 a.m. GO ME!
