Almost 8 weeks out

Mar 30, 2010

Well, I'm not quite 8 weeks out.  I did have a stall at week 6 and was not happy but I knew that I was losing inches so I did not let it get me down.  I decided to re-take my measurements to see how many inches I had lost.  I couldn't believe that I had lost 12 inches total from both arms, chest, waist, hips, and thighs.  I was very happy then.  I was in a size 24/26 jeans before I had surgery and within a few weeks of having surgery I went to a size 22 and now they are getting too big for me.  Lots of my tops that were snug on me before are now too big.  I've been holding off buying any clothes since the weight and inches are coming off pretty quickly, but I am going to have to break down soon and buy some especially since the weather is changing and spring is here. 

Food is still trial and error for me.  Some things work and some things don't.  I still struggle with getting my protein in, some days are better than others depending on if I've ate certain foods that are high in protein.  Also getting my fluids in are also still a chore.  I may only drink a 16oz bottle of water all day long.  Still haven't got that timer back out yet, I need to find where I put it.    I'm at least not tired like I used to be, I started taking a B1 vitamin and not sure if that's what did the trick or not or if it was just that I was further along with my surgery but anyway at least I can stay up again past 10:00, lol.  I'm still not walking like I should I need to make sure and start doing this better also.  It takes 21 days to form a habit they say.  I just need to begin day 1.
