FINALLY worked out

May 28, 2010

I'm doing great lately. It seems over the last couple weeks I would take bites of carb food and it would disagree with my belly. Of course, I kept with the bites. This week has been great. I haven't eaten a starchy carb the entire week and I can't say that for too many weeks in my entire life!!  I don't actually feel like I'm on a diet, its AMAZING. I just think about the consequences of the carbs and usually avoid them.

I have to say I'm getting a little weary of SOME of the attention. A couple of ladies at work are just enthralled with what I did, which I can't blame them, but every single time I see them they ask what I ate for lunch/dinner, etc. I tell them but I am just amazed at what people think is their business. Love the compliments but it does get old to say how much weight I've lost every day. But it is usually good feedback so I try to remember that I won't always get the compliments.

The one thing I definitely KNOW I don't like is when people are judging what I eat. I usually have an order of scrambled eggs and a side of sausage from McDonalds. Totally great for me protein wise, but of course, I'm walking into work with a Mickey D's bag. A lady who usually talks to me about weightloss, we've done WW together, said "YOU are eating McDonalds?" with a snark. I said "Every morning" right back. I wanted to say "BEYOTCH back off!" But that would not have been professional!! lol.

Yesterday, for the FIRST time I actually worked out. I did 21 minutes on the elliptical and I totally feel it in the outer thighs. But really glad I did it. The most surprising thing about my weightloss is the skin!! I've only lost 40 lbs (well, see next notes) and I have bad skin on my thighs. I am surprised bc I didn't even have dimples in my legs before surgery. I thought I could get away with a tummy tuck, but a lower body lift is DEFINITELY in my future.

Okay. FABULOUS news. I just realized today, that I weight 120 POUNDS less than when I gave birth to my twins 5.5 years ago. That is crazy. Of course, that is a major reason why my skin is looking so bad.

Not to go on and on, but I also reconnected with an old friend, she also had wls and I hope to meet her for dinner this summer. I'm excited bc I don't know many people with wls. Well, wls that is WORKING.

So everything is going great. I hope I can keep it up and I'm excited for the future!
