My weight slowly started creeping back up...not enough that anyone else noticed, but I definitely did!!!
Sunday, September 1st, I stepped on the scale & it screamed 189 at me...my first thought was "Oh hell no!!!!" That day I pulled out all my previous WLS diet knowledge & started to apply it to my life again...
Even though I am missing the simple pleasure of picking out a bag of chips & a soda from the vending machine at work, I am proud to say that the pounds started melting away faster than they creeped on. By Thursday, Sept 5, I went for my 2 year WLS check up. I was down 7 lb to 182. Yippee!!!!
While at my check up, I met with the nutritionist. Since my goal is still to get down to the 145-150 range. She suggested I go back to the active weight loss stage of the WLS diet 400-600 calories a day. No more than 200 calories per meal, at least 20 grams of protein per meal & no more than 5 carbs per meal...yes you read all that right!!!!
I think it is funny when people tell me they would die if they had to eat like that...my response is "not when your stomach is the size of an egg!!!"
I am happy to report that this morning I stepped on the scale & saw 178.9! Double yippee!!!!!! So as of this morning I am feeling great about myself again!
I have started making myself get out of my cube a couple of days a week & move my booty around the parking lot on my breaks...I wish it was more often, but I will get there. It never fails, my boss always wants to have a quick meeting as soon as I put my tennis shoes on! Hahaha!!! That is about as committed as I have gotten on the exercise front. I plan to add more eventually. I did buy a kettle bell, just never seem to go motivated enough to use it yet...I will get there!
My goal is to hit 150 by New Years!!!!
No New pics of me, but I will share a couple of my beautiful children!!!
