8 days out, 10 lbs down!

Jan 07, 2015

It's day 8 post op and this morning I hit the -10 lb marker. Not bad considering it's been very difficult to get my exercise in due to our arctic like weather. Yesterday I signed back up at a gym and i'm looking forward to having a place to go for some activity and socializing! I also caved under boredom and went to a movie. It was actually easier than I thought. Thankfully the daytime theater wasn't busy and so the concession stand wasn't running full force. No overwhelming food scents to make me miserable as I briskly passed by! I mixed a protein shake in a small water bottle to sneak in and sipped through the film. I don't know if anyone will understand how proud I was to survive an afternoon and the movies without snacks, but let me tell you, for me, this is a BIG triumph! I go in today for my 1 week post op appointment and I hope they confirm i'm doing as well as I THINK I am. Even though I know i'll probably be losing some of it, I made an appointment to get my hair highlighted tomorrow. ( I have PLENTY of hair to spare). I NEED to find things that get me out of the house but still can't putz around outside due to the - temps here. I figure a few hours at the salon with some gabby ladies i've known for years is a great way to start my friday. After that, i'll head to the gym and see if I can't pump out some exercise induced endorphins.
