Today is weigh in day and I'm excited... I lost 3 pounds last week making me 190 exactly- I have lost 25 pounds since surgery!!!
I am actually starting to notice my loss more and more- my jeans, the one pair that I actually wear are getting too loose and baggy making me look heavier than I am I also wore a shirt yesterday that I hadn't worn in years. The last time I wore it I swear I looked like a giant sausage but yesterday it was baggy on me- yeah!! It's the little NSV's that help keep me going.
I have been better at getting off my butt and getting on my treadmill but I have switched it up, instead of waiting till everyone is in bed I am taking my "nap" time and making it my exercise time. An hour on the tread mill followed but crunches, arms and leg work then a nice hot shower. I did have to take it easy 3 days, 2 for my back and one for my ankle (but i still did everything but the tread mill)
I go in Thursday for another fill, I am currently at 4.5cc's in a 10 cc band. I eat my 4 oz and focus on protein but less than 2 hours later I am starved so when I get to my next meal I have to keep from stuffing my face and and my band. I am too focused on eating to pay attention to portion but somehow I manage but its a vicious cycle. Hoping a fill will help keep me satisfied longer and keep me from snacking.
As always, thank you for reading and for your comments.
You are doing great! Can't wait to hear your news! I am curious about your 4 oz of food. Where does your doctor want you to be when all is done? 4 oz seems like nothing.... My doctor wants me to get to 1 cup of food per meal plus one protein filled snack each day.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your exercise!
We haven't really discussed a goal weight- I know that at my height of 5'4 I should aim for around 145 but I'm trying not to get stuck on a number- I just want to get to where I like what I see in the mirror and am healthy.
DeleteMy doctors office is all about three 4oz meals, no snacks, getting at least 90 grams of protein and 100 oz of water. And yes, 4oz is nothing... so I end up eating a snack to keep me from "starving" and to keep my calories up otherwise I have too few calories and I'll stall out.
Thanks for the encouragment
