Wow it's been a while since I've last posted. I've been doing well. Staying pretty steady around 180, but working on getting it down. Went to see my surgeon on Jan 5th & was down 101 lbs from surgery on their scale (183). I met with Mary, the nutritionist, & decided I'd like to come back in a month to check my weight again. This is the point when grazing & eating more comes into play. I think knowing I have to go back in 4 weeks keeps me more accountable than an appointment in 6 months. So, on my scale I was 179 today. I saw 178 a couple weeks ago, but I'll take 179. Would love to be in the 170's on their scale when I go back on the 2nd of Feb. I know a big part of the stall in weight is lack of exercise. I've been working so much overtime that's it's unbelievable. We're also waiting to hear on whether or not we will be buying a house so that's been keeping me busy too. Not to mention the running with the girls. I really am working hard to take that 30 minutes for me. My sister got a pilates machine for Christmas & this morning I dropped the girls off at school & went right to her house & did the 30 minute workout. Wow those little moves really work every inch of your body. I'm going to try to make it my goal to do this every day this week. Smaller goals are easier for me to attain. My second goal is to continue to work on the basics. Uping my protein, keeping my liquids up & my carbs down. Choose healthy things between meals like fruits or veggies (if I really need something between meals.) Make myself stop & think before I grab something. Ask myself if I'm really hungry or am I just bored, tired, etc etc. I believe this is key to success.
I think I should start posting an exercise log again on the August board. I'll check to see if everyone wants me to. I think we all NEED this right now..
I'll post again soon I promise...
