BOUNCE & STUCK

I've been bouncing between 205 and 204.6 for the last week now. Got to figure out something to jump start everything again but I'm not sure what to do. I do know its time to start adding in some exercise. So when its not raining I will take Sebastian out to walk the neighborhood - and I guess tomorrow I will get reacquainted with my treadmill!

5 Weeks Post Surgery

Wells its been 5 weeks since surgery - well 38 days to be exact. My current weight is 204.8 and I'm feeling great. Best thing is I am oh so very close to the 1st goal on my list .. which was to be in One-Derland by the boys birthday. My babies will be 18 in 5 days and I'd love to get up that morning and weigh 199, hell even if its 199.9 that will work and will count.
The main objective is that my weight begin with a 1!!

My ultimate weight goal is between 160 and 150 and once I get to 199 another 40 to 50 pounds sounds so much easier than the initial 90 I needed to lose!! Im feeling so blessed to have been able to go through this experience!!

4 Weeks Post Op

Well I went for my 4 week check up yesterday and I'm doing well and right on target.
Im currently weighing 208 pounds - that's 35 pounds gone!! I cant believe it!!
I'm now able to introduce more foods that will only make this process easier - I can have fork tender foods - chicken, fish, tuna -- so I can now start making some lettuce wraps and things like that.  I set a few silent goals for myself when I started this process - one was to be in One-derland by the boys 18th birthday.  That means I have to lose 9 pounds in 11 days. I'm not 100% sure I'll hit this goal, thats almost a pound a day, but I will be pretty darn close!!

            Here is a picture of me and my boys taken April 11, 2014 I'm starting to see it.

The Week 3 Stall

Last week I entered week three and went back to work. Both felt disasterous!!
Being at work all day versus home in my comfy jammies was torturous! I hated it, mostly because I hate my job and because I'm just not 100% yet!!
But the week 3 diet proved to come with its own challenges.  I introduced yogurt, pudding and mashed tators back into my diet and all of a sudden I stopped losing weight and stopped have bowel movements.  No fun on either front!!  I started adding a lil miralax to my drinks and finally/unfortunately yesterday everything finally came to a head.
I went to the bathroom for the first time in 7 days and it was horrible. Caused me pain in rectum - burning - bleeding! God I pray this is not my new normal!

But I got on the scale this morning and it looks like it too has started moving again 212.6 -- I'm down 30.5 pounds in 35 days - still nothing to scuff at! I'm still focused and ready to go!
