Feeling kinda lost.......

Aug 30, 2012

I had my first Nut appt since surgery and she wants me to eat 1100-1200 calories,but I dont want to I need to take advantage of not wanting to eat or being hungry as long as I can, and almost everyone who has lost great was doing 600-800 calories so I have removed my ticker because it is a distraction to me and I am going to reset my goals in MFP,I am going to kick up the exercise and get that scale moving again, I have set goals to be able to reach them, but as far as feeling lost its just like I am feeling my way thru this with no direction, so I am getting my head into the game to do what needs to be done..!!!

Daughters Birthday

Aug 06, 2012

This is the 1st occasion since surgery and did pretty good, Had a hard time deciding on what restaurant to go to and one of her friends chose the Olive Garden which was a great choice, I had  a bowl of the chicken Gnoocci or something like that and was satisfied only to find out the soup was all you can eat...... so of course I had a 2nd bowl just to still be eating by the time they got their food, I didnt eat the dumplings that were in it so it was just broth with soft chicken in it.. delish! I had also order some stuffed mushrooms but brought it home and gv to DH who had to work and could not go.Yes I did have a sliver of cake it was ok and I didnt need anymore than a taste.

Protein from meals.....

Aug 04, 2012

Is getting easier, I am up to 800 calories now but I am feeling guilty. I am burning 500 or more calories per my body bugg, it seems like the days I work out I am hungrier all day not sure if I like that weight loss is not as big anymore I think I will go back to 2 protein shakes a day and a meal, I was so happy to be able to finally eat I might have went over board, not really but I went from losing a pound a day or more to .6 or .4 a day.. ready to get my head back in the game to get to my first goal of 50pds.

Jul 24, 2012

feeling pretty good walked treadmill this morning at gym for 35 mins burned 240 cal by my body bugg, then walked walmart for 30 more min so cal burned was about 300..I will need to call doc today because the reflux was terrible yesterday and the prilosec is not working, my brother is cooking breakfast for my daughter and niece and it smells so good.. and I am satisfied with just smelling it, that still amazes me. I am looking forward to pureed foods on Sat. but I brought some low sodium healthy choice soups, the Santa fe is my fav that I will strain the broth off today for one of my liquid snacks not sure how to count calorie wise but
oh well.

Missing food.....

Jul 23, 2012

I went with my DH to pick up my brother from the airport who flew in to take care of me  ( so sweet) and when he gets in the car the first thing that comes to my mind is whats for breakfast, and then quickly realized things are not the same for me, so when we got home , my brother went to bed  and I fixed grits with left over baked chicken and biscuits for my husband and it was in doing that I realized I miss food... the smell of those biscuits was heavenly and you know what I was satisfied by just the smell, I could not believe it.. I was missing food the night before so I turned to the diners drive in and dives and it had satisfied me also and without feeling hungry, its like I am satisfying my hunger through my other senses,sight and smell...this is a trip I had a chocolate banana shake this morning and was truly content....................
