Whew! It's been awhile...

Aug 28, 2012

I can't believe that I haven't posted recently. I have been swamped with work and staying active that I haven't been able to blog or check on my peeps. I hope that everyone is doing well.

I had my 1 month check-up on the 21st and things seemed to go well. The PA was happy with my weight loss but said going forward I should be losing on avg. 16 lbs per month at this BMI level... so that would mean that I keep that pace I should make my December cruise goal.

I have been more social lately and sharing more with my friends about my weight loss decision. For example, I went to a ladies night out last Thursday and PF Changs, ate Moo Goo Gai Pan (no rice) and had no issues. Saturday night I went to a sit-down local charity event and was able to eat a little bit of salad and the chicken entree. I was really happy that I didn't stick out like a sore thumb but I was able to eat sensibly, get my necessary protein and not feel deprived because I wasn't eating dessert.

Each day I feel more proud of myself and consider it a victory that I'm seemingly healthy, energetic and excited about the future.  My husband is steadily losing weight (almost back to his college athlete days), so proud of him and fortunate to have his support. However, sometimes he does a bit too much of "oh, I'm sorry that you can't have that" even when I'm not consciously aware of missing a food / drink. I know he means well...

I'm looking forward to next week when I'm cleared to do abdominal exercises... believe it or not, I'm ready for pilates. It's low impact but helps with endurance training with some cardio benefits. We shall see

Sorry for the randomness of this blog... just had a lot to get out I guess. LOL
