Weekly Weigh In 3-14 to 3-20

HW 368

LW 168.8

TW 173.6

Next goal 150

I went away for the weekend so I didn't eat the best things.

The best NSV is crossing my legs. It still amazes me.

I can also gain a lot in a week, but I always think of it as "temporary" weight (weight that hasn't really stuck yet), so when I get right back on track, I lose it quickly. I know you will, too!!

I find that to be so true.

Finally on the upswing from my surgery. Lost more weight from the surgery...but my appetite is coming back so I think it is stabilizing. I am OK with that...

Highest: 420+

Consultation: 383

Last week: 182

This week: 178

Down to 315, for a 2 pound loss. That's actually the lowest loss in 8 weeks on Optifast, but it's also what my 'normal' loss was under Weigh****chers. (Plus I'm pretty sure that my monthly cycle has me retaining a bit of water.)

Highest: 350+

Program Start: 328

Surgery Weight: 299

Last Week: 167

This Week: 166

Feeling o.k about the 1 lb. But, I did realize my surgeons goal of 164 will be exactly half.  So, when I get there, it will be a double victory!

Next Goal: 164 (Surgeons original goal and exactly half my weight)

next goal: onderland

next fitness goal: unchanged, 3.5 mile run, among my other activity.

i had an interesting appointment with my surgeon today. He asked what I was doing for activity, and I proudly rattled off my routine. He then asked me what I was doing for relaxation. Blank stare, felt like I was just handed a pop quiz. He stressed the importance of not over doing things and trying to conquer the world one pound at a time.   he cautioned me about push, push, pushing to do more and more; cause life will inevitably throw us a curve ball and we need to be able to balance those curve balls and activity and diet etc. basically the journey can't take over your life, because your life is well, your life. I Loved that he grounded me.

 I'm now especially glad I'm taking a mini break with the family for a 2 day getaway.
