My old buddy, the scale.
I had my hubby buy me a new scale last night. So I am hoping it is accurate. It is digital. I usually weigh in at the doctors office or at Mom's. Anyway, according to the new scale I lost 2 pounds last week. I was hoping for five, but will definitely take 2. Yeah me! Now to Reenie's accountability page.
Yesterday, I had two protein shakes made with water and blackberries and splenda in one, and half a banana and splenda in the other. I had cheese and egg omelet with one egg and one ounce of cheese and a small slice of whole wheat toast for breakfast. I had one of the aforementioned shakes for lunch, and two ounces of baked chicken and a half a cup of veggies for supper. The other shake was close to bedtime. I didn't measure but I drank a ton of water. I can't remember where I read this, but I have been practising it. To replicate what our pouches did before it healed, take only 7-10 bites of lean protein. I have been doing that 5 day pouch test thingy and apparently it is starting to work. Last night I couln't get in 7 bites of the chicken so I don't really know how many ounces I got in. For the first time in a long time, I got that queasy I don't think chicken is going to stay down feeling that came with my surgery so long ago. I'm hoping that this is a good sign. I can't work out hard like I used to, but I did house work and did do my physical therapy routine. It's just basically muscle strengthening stuff, but at least I can still do something. Another day of living right and trying hard. Pheww!

I use the big rubber bands. The give resistance, but will ony give you as much resistance as you pull. My ortho docs won't le tme do weights or any kind of impact training. I can't do the treadmill or even the bike. Me and my weird stretchy joints, grrrrr. I have been trying to up my PT to 2-3 times a day. I'll get the Prevention and see if there is anything there I can get by doing. Every little bit helps. We are fighting back and that is our first short term goal. Yeah us!
