Hit My First Plateau

Oct 15, 2014

Happy Belated Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians on here!

I have been stuck at 242lbs. I admit I let it get me down at first. The past couple weeks I have used it as a source of motivation to really get working out. Almost every evening I have been going for 1 to 2 ½ hour walks with a girlfriend of mine. Today I did Day One of the 10 Day Zumba Accelerated Fat Loss Program (Zumba Accelerate). I also did the BL 6 Week Cardio Crush level 1 workout, which I have been doing as often as possible. I am also supposed to go for a walk this evening. I am hoping if I keep all of this up I am going to kick my fat's butt and get into the 230s within the next 10 days.

Even though my weight has stayed the same I must admit I can feel my body changing, getting smaller and my clothes getting bigger. My sleep has continued to get better (no snoring/sleep apnea), still no thigh chafing (which is especially awesome with all of this exercise), normal blood pressure, migraine free, higher energy levels and just overall a better quality of life. Just in terms of all of these things this surgery has already changed my life. 

Getting all my protein in is still a struggle. My taste buds are still changed/heightened since the surgery. Every single protein product (shakes, bars, you name it) tastes NASTY! I was hoping that would have corrected itself by now. Today I made the decision to force myself to drink my Syntrax Nectar Caribbean Cooler that I was going to get my younger sister to take off my hands. Yes, it was super gross but it is good for me. I just need to think of it as if it is medicine and I need to take. Small price to pay for a happier life right? That's what I keep telling myself lol. 

I go back to Mexico in January, this time for a vacation, and I am SO excited. I am using that to motivate me as well. It would be nice to be on vacation and want to be in pictures!!!!!!! Plus I have a super cute bathing suit I would like to fit into. It also feels awesome to not have to worry about fitting into airplane seats/being able to buckle up. I would be stressing about that before and during my trip. Not fun!!! 

I best get going. All three of my dogs need a bath. Badly lol. I will try to keep focused on the positive and continue working out.

My #1 goal is to hit Onederland before or by my one year anniversary (Good Friday 2015). Wish me luck!!! 

Wishing everyone on here the best of luck, never give up! Take care
