Back On Track Together
Sunday, February 5rd, Cardio & Cafe - and Saturday
Good morning everyone... Hope you had good Saturday and will watch for those carbs and Superbowl party today. Proteins, water, coffee, (decaf) etc.
Yesterday was my BF birthday so we celebrated whole day. Family lunch (with cake and a pie, plus the brownies I baked) then evening get together with friends... again with 2 more cakes (2 people had birthdays) plus the brownies...
Now before anyone will gasp in terror - I did not have any of the sweets... Not even finger or knife licking.... I get really bad RH so I would not dare to even taste that...
And ... it does not upset me... I really do not want it.. The sweets were the main reason I decided to have the RNY, so I would be deterred if I eat them. And boy, that worked better than I ever expected. I still could eat them, but I may get really, really sick... and I hate that more than I like sweets.
On top of that, in the last few days, my pouch decided to be small, so I can't even eat much of anything. A few bites and I sooo... full, that I need to stop. I do get my proteins, and water, so all is good. In the past - I would get some wine, and that allowed me to eat more, but I decided not to have any alcohol for a while (at least till Easter) so I eat what I can, and not worry about the rest.
Eats today:
coffee + almond milk
the rest is iffy at best.
I do plan to try to have some eggs, beef, veggies, .. but if the pouch is still small, I will have protein shakes, yogurt with proteins, and little bit of this and that....
On another note, because of the ulcer, the flu I had last month, and the small pouch, the scale showed another 2 lb loss.... but as we all know, it may be jus****er due to low carbs, or hormonal things. My body feels smaller - more bones sticking.... so that may be some fat loss... but at this point.. I really don't care.... I no longer trust the scale.... 5 lbs either way is my body reaction to food and hormones... Today I weigh 160, but in a few days it can be 165 or 167....
