2009-05-23 Going downhill...

May 23, 2009

Well, going downhill as far as my weightloss.  Today I hit 32 pounds down!  My friend H. said to check my BMI, too.
 
Starting:  45.1
Today:  39.8

Wow!  That seems like a big drop...downhill again.  Woo hoo!  I don't even qualify for the surgery now at this weight.

I mowed the lawn today.  Well, it's not quite finished yet, but I had to stop.  Getting too tired.  We have a huge backyard, so that is a lot to under take.  I took a couple of breaks and just woke up from a nap. 

I am able to tolerate Trader Joe's Wine Country chicken salad.  Since I had my 1st surgery in 2003, I'm used to chewing the dickens out of chicken and other food.  So this was kind of a solid food and did great.  I had it for lunch and dinner. 

I found frozen turkery burgers and I bought some ground sirloin and see if I can have a mini burger.  No bread of course.  I'm excited about trying new food. 

I got several deliveries this week including some free samples of different shakes.  I'll let you know how it goes.  I'm not giving up on finding good protein. 

The next one I try is the Pure Whey test tube.  It's 3 or 4 oz with 26g of protein. 

In a couple of weeks I got back to get some blood work and a followup with my surgeon.  Off hand, I don't have my cholesterol # but I remember my triglycerides were 345.  That is not good.  Normal is less than 150.  I hoping to see a good drop when I go back to the surgeon. 

I'm still tired a lot, but doing great.  My pants are starting to fall off and I look somewhat disheveled (sp?) I have plenty of sizes to choose from.  It's great to go shopping in your own closet.
