3 Months out

Jul 23, 2014

I'm just over 3 months out from surgery and have lost 60 pounds so far.  I feel pretty good.  My eating has been pretty good but I find my cravings have gotten worse.  After 3 months of the same sort of thing I find I want to eat something different and crave the things I don't want to eat (bread, noodles, carbs).  I have been making a point to sit with the cravings and not give in.  That's not to say I have not had the occasional piece of toast or tortilla, but I have still stayed away from any sugar and what I have eaten has been accounted for on MFP and in moderation.  That's the name of the game, right?  I met with my surgeon for my 3-month appointment and he was very happy with my progress.  At 6 months ill have my blood drawn to make sure all my levels are good.

I have been pretty good with my exercise and have even started jogging.  I'm working on a Couch to 5K program so I can run the local 5K in December.  Kinda scares me but that's the point.  To get out of my comfort zone and do the things I dream of.  I'm also exploring going back to college.  I have been unemployed since just after surgery and have had no luck finding work.  I'm realizing being laid off and unemployed for so long has affected me more than I thought.   I'm looking into a degree in a different career field.  Something that keeps me out from behind a desk.  Fingers crossed I can come up with the funding.
