Month 3 Stats; weight, blood work and clothes!

So happy for you! Our surgeries are 1 day apart, so I understand your journey these last 3 months. You are doing so well and have so much to look forward to! Congrats :)

Congratulations!  I'm a few weeks behind you, but our stats look very similar.  I'm on a bit of a plateau at the moment, and was wondering if you would mind sharing with us what inds of things you would eat in a typical day?  What do you do for exercise?

Sure -- for exercise:

Water aerobics, water zumba, water exercise and resistance training -- mixed up throughout the week so that I'm doing something 3-4 days a week - and I try to walk the dog if the weather is nice.  I have a bunch of injuries, that's why there's so much water work.  So overall, I'm not nearly as active as a lot of the other people on the board -- but some activity is better than no activity!

For food:

One protein shake a day, either as a shake or with coffee in the morning.  After that, it is usually some meat and veggie.  I like to cook and we eat out -  so in the past week or so, we had bison meatloaf, grilled chicken parm, chicken tortilla soup, pork chops, smoked turkey and lamb chops.  I'm finding that I really have to focus on super solid meats (not in soups) to "fill me up" -- otherwise, I'm kind of hungry in an hour or so after eating.  Also, I got the Unjury cheese protein, and I'll add that to soups.  That makes the soup heartier.  For veggies -- broccoli (with unjury cheese), cauliflower (roasted with pecorino romano), asparagus, brussel sprouts, and some salad.  I'll also have a few raspberries, blueberries, blackberries or strawberries in my Fage 0% yogurt.  I try to not have yogurt much, since I get hungry too soon after that.

So that's about it.  I'm on My Fitness Pal (BoofGirl), so if you want to join that, I think you can see my food diaries.  If not, let me know and I'll make them public (I'll try to remember to check today when I enter my food).
