6 month visit with the Dietician
Hi all:
Just wanted to share with you all that this morning I had my 6 month visit with my Nut. I actually had it at 5 and a half months but better sooner than later. She calculated that I have already lost 82.4% of my excess body weight - a fact that simply blows my mind. She suggested cutting back my protein - I am averaging 120-140 grams per day and increasing good carbs. - currently at between 70-80 grams a day. The goal is to get to 100 grams in the next three months and 130 in the next 6 months. All in all she couldn't have been happier, which makes me happy!
To make this weekend even more exciting, tomorrow I run my first 5-K. The Komen National Race for the Cure. I could have never imagined being able to accomplish such a feat, even 6 months ago. I will most defintely not be the fastest runner there, but I can assure you, there won't be to many happier than me when I cross that finish line.
I have been blessed over the last six months - I have to say that I am loving this journey I am on and am grateful for all of the support of those of you traveling similiar paths.
