Almost 1 year

Oct 04, 2009

Well...I am not the best blogger that's for sure, but wanted to do an update on me.  It has been an amazing year, I am only 3 lbs from goal, and am hoping to be there by my doc's appt next week, but I don't sweat the numbers to much.  I thank God I am not totally obsessed with that, although I do have to admit I love it!! I don't ever remember being this small in my life.  I feel good most of the time, on occasion I get dizzy and plan to talk to the docs about that both my surgeon and my primary when I go.  I am pretty sure it has something to do with low blood pressure and/or my consistent lack of getting in good hydration.  I tend to drink to much coffee, so I have to force in the water.  I believe I am pretty on point with my protein but my labs will tell the tale.  I take my vitamins daily, but think I am probably going to need to tweak since I only seem to get them in once a day.  Seems like everyone else is taking two or three doses a day. We will see, everyone is different.  Hopefully I will be good but if not I will make a change.  

This has been a long and emotional year for me.  I lost my mother and have lost another person from my own self, over 160lbs, that is a big change that I sometimes can't wrap my mind around.  I think it's starting to come together for me now though, I am starting to feel happy and enjoy myself again.  I really miss mom alot and wish she could see me now.  In fact I think I haven't been dealing with that very much until writing it just now fills me with tears.  She was my best friend in the world and I know she is so happy for my progress, and she did get to see a good bit of it before she left this earth.  So she was happy for me.  I love you Mom!!

I will post hard stats/numbers after my doctors visit next week.  Right now I am just enjoying the ride.  For the record, I pretty much eat what I want, don't count carbs, but DO focus on protein first, and I think if you do that then you automatically limit your carbs, so I tend to not get rigid about anything.  If I want a treat I eat it, whatever it is.  Because I do this now, I no longer feel obsessed by it and need to have it everyday, once in while is fine.  Food no longer rules my life.  Thank you Lord!!

Will check in on my surgiversery..thanks to all who have helped me along the way here on OH!
