I've been going to the gym for about 3 weeks now.  The core exercises are working - I can feel that my abs are getting tighter even thru the flab!  I had a session with my personal trainer Jeremy this afternoon.  He showed me a new exercise (squat/row) plus he increased the weight on the leg press.  My legs feel like rubber.  I think I am going to hate Jeremy tomorrow.

My IBS decided to flare up today.  Perhaps because I only had 247 calories all day yesterday?  I hate dieting.  Especially when I have to lose X pounds in X days.  I start obsessing and I revert back to bad habits like not eating or severly restricting my calories.  My surgery date is 3 weeks from today - after that I won't have to worry about it!  No more dieting, just a lifestyle change to a healthier, happier me.  Next week is my pre-op visit, so if I'm really good, I'll lose an additional 2 pounds to reach my goal of 5% pre-op weight loss.

I just realized yesterday that my bra was getting waaaay too big.  I dug up a smaller size out of my bottom drawer, and it's snug, but at least it doesn't gap.  Why is it that the first place the weight comes off is your boobs???  I also noticed that my size 28 pants are a little loose too, so I guess it's not just my chest that's losing weight.  My back doesn't hurt today, hooray!  Back to the gym for me!

I am on Week 4 of my low-carb pre-op diet to lose 5% of my body weight.  I'm more than halfway there!  When I go in for my pre-op visit on 6/12, I hope to have lost the whole 5%.  I didn't go to the gym today because my back hurts like hell     Oh well, hopefully tomorrow.
