16 Days Out
Jun 22, 2011
Boy, it seems like it has been longer than that!Ok, so it has been over a week since I wrote, so I thought I'd update. I'm feeling just a bit discouraged, because it seems that I have already hit a stall. I know, I know ... it's to be expected and all that, but it is still a bitch. I initially lost 13 lbs in the first 8 days after my surgery on 6/6 and I was so excited. However ... Since then - in the NEXT 8 days after surgery, I've lost only 2 more lbs. How can this be? I'm averaging 741 calories per day (I track my intake using the nutrition tracker on this site). I'm averaging 45% (83 g) protein daily, 38% (69 g) carbs, and 18% (14 g) fat. That seems reasonable and in the expected ranges. So why the stall?
Crud.
I know it has to pass, but it is hard. And I'm not weighing myself every day.
In other news, my baby girl (16) left today for a school trip to FRANCE. I'm going to miss her like crazy while she is gone, but I'm so glad and grateful that she has this opportunity. It really is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip. She'll be gone for 11 days and will be in Paris (Versailles, Eiffel Tower, etc.), Normandy, The Loire Valley, and then down to the French Riviera for a couple of days. She'll be seeing things most people only dream of seeing in person. She's such a cool, good kid. She deserves this.
We are getting some wicked storms here today! Tornado warnings and the whole shot.
That's all for now.
