Week 24 - Scale Movement

Mar 18, 2014

Happy to be thru week 24!  Been a rough week, I was very ill again (same as around the Holidays) and was dehydrated enough to go to the hospital again and have IVs and CT done to figure out why the severe Diarrhea and Head aches.  They have me seeing a Gastroenterologist so far they haven't given a diagnosis, but she thinks that since I do not have a gallbladder that when I feel ill and am not eating regularly that my bile is dumping through and into my colon which is reacting to expel what ever it is that is making me ill.  Nice of the colon, but very unnecessary :)

Needless to say, I lost some weight, but it wasn't the right way or fun way to lose it.  In total I lost 10 lobs and while being rehydrated I gained 6 back.  So healthy weight now.

Week 23 - Time to get MOTIVATED

Mar 11, 2014

Okay - so I did lose some pounds this week, definitely happy to see that! :) I officially am down 80 lbs, and hit 250.0!!!! this morning.

I am refocusing on the gym/me relationship... figuring out what I like and don't like and finding alternatives to the don't like items that have a similar effectiveness.  Also I am starting to see a slip of the eating habits, more sweets less protein, not much, but reaffirmation on those commitments to myself for sure! :)

Alright - that's enough scolding for today, see you all next week! :)

Week 22 - Slight Stall - my fault

Mar 04, 2014

Well, I'm at week 22, and feel a stall coming on, no weight change this week.  I am feeling blah again, and not keeping to routine or making sure I get enough in (water, protein, cardio, weights... you name it NOT ENOUGH).

Stress is getting the better of me, I will fight and rally, tomorrow is a new day.

Week 21 - Rough patch

Feb 25, 2014

So this past week I ended a long term relationship with my boyfriend... Its hard as he is battling something that has plagued him for over half his life. My heart goes out but the damage our relationship was inflicting was doing me more harm than good.

Much like my relationship with eating prior to VSG... SO I guess this year is a cleaning house and rebuilding year for me.

I lost 1 lb this week... didnt hit the gym often and was not eating well...

THIS week is a NEW week!!!

Week 20 - DOWN 75 lbs forever!!!!

Feb 19, 2014

Okay - I think I'm excited! Just a little. I have been working hard at trying to get my weight down and doing the routines for exercise.  I am starting to love going again. Down 75 pounds!

What I'm struggling with is eating  enough protein, my NUT has raised me to 100g of it a day, where in the past I was at 80... Its been hard for me since I do not supplement much, mostly eat lean meats fish veggies some fruits etc.  I just don't like the shakes, bars, etc... so finding high protein stuff for tiny amounts of food has not been the easiest for me... Ill get there though... this too shall pass!

 

Determined!!!!

Week 19 - looking Good and Feeling Great!

Feb 11, 2014

I am excited, not only am I fitting in clothes Id thought I'd never see again, I am getting complements now that make me feel great as well.

My Gym time is back in force, and I have now bumped my treadmill speed up from 2.8/2.8 to 2.8/3.8, so exciting.  I also am hitting that pace for 30 minutes. YaY me!

I am also logging everything and adding protein back in so I can now hit that 100g of Protein. 

I dropped into the 250s this week.... (258 to be exact) it’s been 3 years since I was this weight (my lowest in 5 years prior to that).

Goal for June is still to be 100 down, I think I’ll hit that earlier and may need to adjust, fingers crossed!

Week 18 ... where has the time gone! (4 months Post Op)

Feb 04, 2014

 

I am feeling good, about the choices, about the sacrifice, and about my future!  I weighted in and got measurements last night - I am down in BMI from 52% to 41% http://www.obesityhelp.com/shared/df/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-dancing.gif  Weight is down 67lbs so far and 23 inches over my whole body! Stoked!!!

 

Got a new routine, with 15 lb weights (grr) and he’s mixing it up so that I am on the treadmill for 5, do wall pushups, then side planks, then arm free weight lifts of 15 lbs, the treadmill for 5 mins, then the wall pushups the side planks then arm lifts, then treadmill for 5 mins, then wall push ups then 10 lb free weights on my back with arms up above my chest out and down up out and down, lol then with a single 15 lb weight I do quick squats with the weight between my hands in front of my chest... Well I don’t HATE the trainer today so that is a good thing... I must be getting stronger!

 

Nutritionist says I am on track, no changes... except one: More Protein, they upped from 60-80 goal to 100!!! Not sure how I’ll get it in, but I will definitely try!

Well 4 Months out - time to kick it up a notch!

Week 16 - no love loss

Jan 22, 2014

Well - No love loss, nor weight for that matter.  But I am still happy. I think I'm still on track and keeping up  just no weight drop this week.  Which is to be expected as I lost a ton two weeks ago when I was ill.

Struggling with gym this week... I'm walking but not doing weights or planks... just not motivated, and I hate feeling so sore. I know it will be easier when I get used to it... but today I feel the struggle.

Wish me luck!

Week 15 - gym

Jan 14, 2014

Today I was thinking of any reason not to go to Gym. I haven't been since Christmas when I got extremely ill and wasn't able to go for over a week.  Then the week after, I decided I can't chance dehydrating. Then this past week I decided the same thing, but started parking further away.  I know I need to go to the gym, but part of me feels like I am starting all over again... ugh, I don't want to be sore!

No weigh in today as I will be doing it next week. Hope I have good news... and either way, wish me luck on going back to the gym... tonight hopefully... or maybe tomorrow???
