10 weeks down 40 pounds and 2 sizes .
May 06, 2009
What a busy and in many ways very stressful time I have had lately . Big life changes happening all over the place .Hubby turned 60 this week ..plus retired from his job . Both whoppers for him ..and me too .
We have decided to put our country bungalow up for sale in the next few weeks and permananently base our lives at our Scarborough condo .
My son is looking to move out in the next couple of weeks . He has finished his 3 year college diploma in Marketing and Business and wants to fly the nest . He is looking at apartments in Toronto down town core with his 2 best friends this week . We will be official empty nesters once they see one they like .
I have had a job offer !!!
I am having a final interview this afternoon ..and if it works out will be very pleased . Just part time ..looking after an elderly gentleman in our condo building but they are paying RN rates and thats great news .
I am doing well with my revision to RNY..still managing very well ( too well sometimes ..my pouch is very forgiving and fits a lot ) I can drink a full 6 oz glass of water at one time ..glug glug glug ..no need to sip here I tell ya !
I am still rarely hungry and this is wonderful ...keeps me on track . Losing 1 to 2 pounds a week consistently . Can now fit in asize 16/18 from a size 20/22 and down 40 pounds .I still struggle to get in my protein ...and those nasty carbs keep creeping in ..but generally I have good habits these days .Its harder now hubby is at home every day with me ..he keeps cooking and expecting me to sit down and eat more regularly and his choices ..grr . I am too weak and give in ...not good .
He does usually make healthy foods but he loves his carbs a little too much too .
I am still swimming ever day when at my condo ...want to do more walking but my bad knee has remained very painful despite the weight loss and I cant walk far before it really pains a lot. I will work on that .
I am really enjoying all the support meetings and have benefited from the clothes exchanges .I have lots of clothes to reciprocate with . So its a win win situation . Most of all am enjoying my new friends ...its so much fun to be on this journey with such nice people .
