On my way!
May 09, 2014
My surgeon's office called me earlier this week and told me that I only need 2 NUT visits instead of 6, woohoo! And I've done everything but the endoscopy, which they've scheduled for me on the 28th of May. After that I should be able to schedule surgery. It is just crazy how fast this is all going. I am so ready and excited, for something to actually work permanently in my life. I am determined to make the lifestyle changes I need to.
I have been going through a bit of food mourning, wanting to binge on things I know I won't be able to eat after surgery. I decided this week that I really want to reign that in, and change my mindframe to the diligence I will need after surgery and forever. Each and every pound counts towards getting me towards my goal. My worst time is in the morning, I always want the flavored lattes and munchkins or a bagel or something equally as bad. I could care less about dinner, and have actually had protein shakes for dinner the past two nights and been very satisfied. I bought the Target brand chocolate protein powder, and I mix that with 2 tbsp of PB and almond milk. It is delicious! I am going to try and start doing that for breakfast, and not even going to Dunkin Donuts in the morning. I bring my two year old to daycare on my way to work, and every time we go to Dunkin she screams "munchkinnnnnns." In the past I have been happy to get the minimum of 5 you can get, give her one and eat the other four myself. I think if I eliminate the temptation altogether and do a protein shake instead that will help me a lot! Too bad it is right around the corner of my house!
I'm also trying to start thinking about exercise, and what I want to do post-op. I am debating between joining a gym or buying a treadmill and putting it in my living room so I feel guilty every time I sit on the couch! :) Working full time with a two year old, a husband, and two dogs does not leave much time for the gym, but if I decided to do it I would probably do a few mornings a week before work....
