It's February!
Feb 08, 2009
So it's now Feb. I cannot believe I am almost 2 mos. out!! Yep, 2mos. I've lost a total of 15 lbs. thus far...not too bad I guess. Sometimes I feel like it should be more, but I cannot complain, I could be gaining right!? I begin my day always with a cup of coffee (my Doc. allows coffee, in moderation of course) and then head onto something for breakfast...today was boiled eggs, although I ate 2. Now I am counting the minutes until I can drink again...that is a difficult part for me, the wait until I can have something to drink...Drinking and not eating, that combo has proven a tad difficult, I find if I don't have anything liquidy near me, I won't drink, but if it's there, I am quite tempted and have done on occassion. I am still struggling to get in all of my protein, I'm planning on going shopping to see if I can find some quick protein ideas for those days I am at the pool, since I don't eat dinner usually on those nights.I seriously wen't off the BANDwagon so to speak this last wk. Some reason when it is TOM I really have almost uncontrollable sweet cravings, not to mention moodiness and such. I did buy some sugar free reeses and tried to just eat maybe one a day, and it somewhat worked, I mean, I am def. eating less and different than I did prior to surgery. My son had a b-day and I did end up giving in and having some banana cake, a small slice. But I didn't really eat dinner that night, so it wasn' t too bad, except the feeling you get when you KNOW you did something you shouldn't of. I've had two fills already and I think I'm good where I am at. If I can just find a way to get in all that protein that I need anyway. Also I am SO looking forward to the warmer mos. I've been COLD and I've been wanting warm liquids, which makes it a little harder to get in all my water/liquid requirements. I guess when I look at it all, I'm doing ok. Last night I thought I may never get to my goal, may never get any lower, but what kind of thinking is that, I need to remain positive. I need to keep my chin up and that is what I want to do...
It is definately a process a long process at times. But I must remain optimistic! Take care.
