One month post op.

Aug 10, 2013

Today I am officially one month out from surgery.  I am a little disappointed by my wl this month.  I managed to lose 18.4 lbs which is about 4 lbs per week.  I know that this is considered good, but a lot of other people lost so much more the first month.  I think I didn't lose as much because I was not on liquids as long as other people. I have lost a total of 32.4 since my highest weight recorded this year and 58.8 since my highest recorded weight in 2006.  I lost about 30 pounds in the last few years.  I am now as low as my post pregnancy weight.  Right now I feel like a slow loser, but I think most of that problem is because I am not getting enough water.  With it being 100+ degrees outside, that needs to change.  My goal this week is to drink at least 72 oz of water and to go to the gym 20 mins a day during the week. It is time to get a little more with the program.  I know that exercise does not really help you lose weight all that much, but it will help to get me healthier and that is my ultimate goal.  The more toned I am, the less noticeable skin I will have.  I am still going to have a shit ton of skin, but I want to be able to run and go hiking and other active things.  Exercise will help me to get to that goal.
