Weight Loss Week 11

Jan 02, 2015

First of all, Happy New Year!

My weight is now 281.2!  I dropped weight very quickly (at least for me) while on vacation.  I said I was going to take a vacation from. The scale but I went on vacation to Florida and stayed at my parents' house and what should greet me in the bathroom but a scale (2 scales actually, but one of them was old as dirt and there was no way I would trust its weight).  Anyways, I hopped on the scale the first night I got there. I was 291 according to that scale.  I checked every day before taking a shower and noticed my weight was rapidly decreasing!  I double checked my weight on the scale in the grocery store, it was pretty spot-on.  By Christmas (which was less than one full week after my last recorded weigh-in)  I was about 282!  During this time I noticed I was eating more carbs (Christmas treats).  I noticed later that sugar does not at all agree with me.  Let's just say even real sugar has a laxative effect.

Also, I went clothes shopping after Christmas and discovered I can now comfortably wear a 22!  I haven been able to get into a 22 in years.  I bought sooo many clothes.  I know people say shop the thrift shops but I do not have the patience Togo from thrift shop to thrift pick thru clothes.  I bargain shop and resolve that I will keep my clothes until they look super baggy on me or are almost falling off.  Right now I have 26s that still stay on me, so I'm keeping them.

Anyways, I am off of vacation and am back on my high protein low carb diet. I can eat more now and I can drink more.  My husband has gotten me a fitbit, workout clothes, a balance ball, resistance bands, and a personal trainer! Talk about support!  I have no excuses not to exercise. I am going to try to cook more of my food and continue to eat on schedule.  I'm not measuring my protein, but I am more conscious of it.   My mom gave me some of her protein powder to mix into my food.  Here's to a more tightly managed weight-loss journey in 2015!  As long as I do what I'm supposed to do, the weight will come off.

If anybody has any tried and true  bariatric friendly recipes or recipe resources, please share.  I get bored with eating the same food every week.
