Hey guys, I'm keeping this as honest as I can get. I need to be accountable and maybe seeing it in black and white will make the difference. I didn't want to be one of those people that took advantage of the surgery and didn't change their lifestyles completely. I'm catching myself doing it a little bit now and its gotta stop!!! 1. What types of food did you eat this week? I ate a few ounces of Sloppy Joes & tator tots for dinner last night, if that's any indication of where I'm at. I still drink my protein drinks or add protein to my Smoothies. I also made non-alcoholic Sangria with Crystal Light Peach Tea, added Strawberries and manadrin oranges. It was sooooooo good. I've been eating like crapola. 2. What types of exercise did you do this week? The only thing I've done is walked at lunch for 30 minutes and walking about night for about 25 minutes. My goal is to walk longer and faster. 3. How much weight did you lose? Total loss? I think I'm down 2 pounds, but it was my period week. Blah. 4. Have you made goal yet? I made my surgeon's goal and he said I looked great at 180ish. I want to be 179. Right now I'm sitting at 189-190. I wanna get rid of the excess. Once I do, I'm getting my plastics consulation as a reward. 5. What do you think you need to improve on the most? Getting motivated, I gotta exercise. I noted that I can eat more "crap" and be okay, as long as I"m exercising. I'm lucky I haven't gained anymore than I have. *Fun bonus question: It's almost Independence Day, what is one thing you are so grateful for? The freedom to make my own decisions! Oh, and Starbucks, hahaha! Amber
