Sort of like clockwork

Nov 05, 2013

I'm losing again. 10/20 to now it was steady. Down four today and I'm pleased. It's been every other month since surgery where I have about a three week pause in loss. Not too bad. 

Work is going well. I believe I am performing well. My coworkers seem happy and receptive to me. Helpful too. So far so good in that arena. 

Had my 6 month post op check with the surgeon yesterday. I haven't had any real trouble since surgery so these visits are very quick and I'm always ahead of the schedule on the weight loss. He said two more visits at 9 months and 12 months and then we can talk about maintenance and surgery options for the skin. I feel like I'm passing this time very fast and perhaps I won't be ready when the time comes for plastics. I am not sure what my insurance will cover in the end and my savings is so paltry that it may be some time before I see the surgeries I'd like to have. I want my tummy lifted - my breasts lifted and filled and my thighs lifted. I am undecided on my arms even though I know there is plenty of extra skin there to remove. I am worried about those scars. 

I had more to say but now I am drawing a blank. Currently in the process of a month long planking challenge we're doing through Bariatric Kitchen's Facebook page. That's both difficult and fun. Never knew how hard it was to do that! My work outs are still steady but I am realizing I really need to let my body heal sometimes. I would go daily and twice sometimes and there is such a thing as too much. I still do two times a day sometimes. But I'm working a day of rest in here and there to keep me healthy. I can jog now but in intervals and can probably do about five minutes straight atm. I can go for an hour on the elliptical and many other in gym cardio options but biking and running on the streets is always harder and I go slower. This translates to me feeling like I didn't do as well when that simply isn't the truth. Trying to work on my inner voice and stop playing head games with myself. 

Ah food. I definitely dump from sugar. It also causes me to retain water and not eliminate very much until it all goes at once. Horrible horrible symptoms and its happened now a couple times with prepared food I didn't realize had sugar in the recipe at another's home. Sneaky sneaky stuff. Today is good and will be good - very focused and measuring my portions. Grazing is a big no no. Don't start. Staying out of the kitchen aside from meal and meal prep times. I have to! Working all my tricks and pulling out the stops to put my mind in the right place. Only a few weeks until battle and by battle I mean holiday dinner. Rawr~~!
