Been awhile since I've posted, but nothing exciting has been going on! lol...Let's see, I've been feeling better and was quickly dropping pounds over the past week and then suddenly gained one pound back! I don't know what that's all about, unless it's just because I've not been getting in my fluids. So, I've been concentrating on that over the past few days and we'll see what happens. I was excited that I bought some size 12 jeans and they fit! Woot woot! I spent this morning working up a sweat and completely redid my pantry and threw out a bunch of stuff, including boxes of stuff that expired about five years ago! lol...I'm such a horder...rediculous!
Me and Cathy went to our support meeting last Monday and what a depressing and disappointing meeting it was!! They brought in a guest speaker - a plastic surgeon from UCD Med center. Although he was fine, the before & after pictures were horrible! These must have been worst case scenarious, because I know many people that have had plastic surgery (and weight loss surgery) and they don't look like that. I felt they should have thrown in some pictures of amazing results as well as the others. Not everyone is going to look so horrible after weight loss surgery and they don't give enough details, like the peoples ages and height, etc. Just total weight loss. The other dumb thing was that the pictures were of peoples NAKED bodies (did we really need that crotch shot or penis shot?) but the pictures of the face lifts had little squares over the peoples eyes! lol...You can see my penis but you can't see my eyes!! Deeerrrrrrrrrr....lol
I've been doing well - maybe a little too well because it felt like I was eating out of control for a couple of days. Looking back (and I keep a journal of what I eat - try www.fitday.com) I really wasn't out of control or over eating. I was wondering if my pouch wasn't working for me suddenly because I was feeling full. And, I never feel "full", I just feel like stopping my eating. But, maybe this was the full feeling actually kicking into gear again? I dunno...but, I'm making sure that I weigh out my food to make sure I'm eating the right amounts and I've gotta make sure that I don't snack when I don't need to. I've been enjoying my cherries though! lol I think part of the problem this week has been that the weathers been so nice (aside from the wind!!) and I'm bored being inside, whether it's at home or work, and so my old feelings of wanting to snack on something have been hitting me. It's easy at work because there's no snacks in the house but at home, I have to be careful. Thus, that's why I cleaned my pantry and yesterday I cleaned out my closet and got rid of a bunch of clothes that just do not fit anymore.
Well, time for me to shower...til next time!
