So ooooooooookay,
To answer Deb's question, I did not make it to the gym yesterday. I wanted and intended to but it was impossible. It's a long story and I'm still slightly angry and so I won't post the whole drama about WHY I didn't make it. I'll stick to the bright side of life (da dum da dum)
I DID make it this morning. I officially weigh 196 and have lost 19 inches. I'll post as to where the inches were lost in the exercise forum but my girls are rapidly disappearing.
So today I am officially celebrating Mothers Day (I work tomoro) as well as living in the land of one
I'm nearing the five month mark and feel that I should have lost more by now. I do a repeat mantra of all the very wise posts made here. Mentally, I DO know that everyone is different and everyone will lose differently and I honestly don't compare. As I said in a pm to Donna, I had to disconnect and take a break for a while because I was starting to become jealous and I don't want to be that person.
But I realize I need this site and need to start posting in the accountablity forum. Those skinny lattes should be a once in a while treat but it's an almost daily Starbucks habit The latest incarnation of my addiction is Tazo Passion tea lemonade. Speaking of accountablity the barista accidently gave me one that was sweetened and ever since I have not been tacking the "unsweeted please" to my tea order. And it's not just liquid. I've been snacking at my desk. Sunflower seeds. Alot of them. A previous habit that I had thought would be gone after surgery has resurfaced.
Basically, I'm doing the same things during the work day that I USED to do. And I'm worried that I'm on a slippery slope.
But realistically the BEFORE was a breakfast burrito combo meal with a coke for breakfast.
fast food from any of the usual mcdonalds-arbys-carls jr-sonic-wendys and the same for dinner that night.
So I have changed but have not done the complete 180 as this life changing surgery requires. And I wonder how it's going to the next few months when life is going to get stressful.
I'll post a bit more later. Perhaps in the support forum. But right now I'm gonna change my signature
Hooray!
