Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Wednesday 10/17

And it's humpday! You've made it halfway through the week. Beautiful fall day here today. Too chilly but looking out the window at the sunrise it's just lovely.

Today's weight: 138.6

Thanks to everyone *****plied to my informal poll posting yesterday. I have decided to carefully, cautiously attempt to get myself back up to 145 with a goal range of 145-150. For those who were concerned, I promise I have no intention of doing this with ice cream and cookies and junk, oh my! If that's the only way I can do it, I won't do it. I looked at my weight history and it took me just over 3 months to lose the last 7 pounds. I'll probably try to gain them back at least as slowly.

119.4

Funny how different we all are. I'm still losing a pound a month and never struggled with the last few pounds. I feel like I should gain but I am going to add muscle instead.

134.5 again today. 

Woke up again at 2:30 am and couldn't get back to sleep.  It's happening more frequently as I get older.  I wonder how much I'll be sleeping when I'm 70?  Just little cat naps?

 Just wondering if your stomach acid is under control.  

I had issues sleeping and it took me months to figure out that it was stomach acid making me toss and turn.  I upped my nexium to an additional 40 mg before bed and now I sleep through the night.  

Just something to consider.

Today's weight (new low): 167

Worked out the problem with my leg yesterday but still not convinced that my knee is altogether happy.  I know that I have a torn meniscus because of a MRI I had 3 years ago, but overall it is asymptomatic, just a little loosey-goosey. Hoping I don't start having problems with it because I really want to keep running in my portfolio of exercises (I never intend to do long distances). Today's workout is 50 minute spin class and possibly a run after work if the husband wants.

181.6

 

Its hump-day and my first day back at work.  180 unread e-mails - Boo!

 

I am still trying to work back up to my pre-op walking routines.  I get a few thousand steps in and the swelling becomes really uncomfortable.  I can already see the new shapes taking form underneath the swelling.  I am going to be really happy with the final result.  I really wish this re-vascularization would hurry up and get this excess fluid out, LOL!  Dang it - I have new pants to buy and want to know what size to get - LOL.

Seriously, I am applying all of the lessons I learned during my sleeve and working back up to goal by going just a little bit farther every day.  Got my last drain out on Monday and went to group.  That was really nice.  Looking forward to just feeling like me again.

172.5
In my range, but still like being lower. It's okay though. I'm getting used to the fluctuations and feeling less like 2 pounds is 20! Funny how the head plays those games.

So not that many days ago, I lost 2 pounds which put me in the normal range on the BMI scale.  For some unknown reason, I have found those 2 lbs again and now I'm not normal anymore :-(.  Don't know why the gain,  really, so they will probably come off pretty quickly again.

165.8 today.

Bounces are normal. Do you track your weight in any program that graphs it? There's one on here but I use myfitnesspal. It helps me get a sense of patterns that might get lost in the up and downs.

129.6
