It's Been Awhile...

Jun 07, 2009

since I posted here.  I guess I have gotten into the swing of things and don't really feel the urgency to "live" on OH.  It might be advantageous to get back here.  I feel as though I have "gotten" this, now I just need to keep on keeping on and not "fall off the wagon."

Things here are hectic, to say the least.  I am stuck at 158-160, can't seem to get past this.  I have been allowed to add fruits and grains (now, nothing is off limits).  I really enjoy the fruit but have been very cautious with the grains.  Have yet to have bread.  Sometimes when Jay makes toast, I really want some, but by the time I take my vitamins, drink a shake, and some water, I am over it.

I am still doing Curves 3x/week but am not doing the upper body.  Surgery is June 29.  Had my pre-op blood work and EKG on Tuesday and now have to see a Cardiologist next week because my HR is 50.  I thought a low heart rate was a good thing.  Evidently not when one is about to have surgery.  I am bummed because my Cardiologist (the one who suggested gastric-bypass about 3 1/2 years ago) has retired and I have to see someone new AND it is a different practice so they don't even have my records.  I wanted to go and show off the new me.  Oh well, life goes on.

My brother and my niece and her husband are coming to stay for a week and we all go to the beach (we are going to be there for two weeks).  I do a lot of cooking when they are here (the resort is a time-share with apartments with kitchens).  I love it there.  We have been doing this for 20 years.  Surgery is the Monday after the time away.  I get to run off to doctors during my stay.  Oh well, it will be good to have this over.  The injection is wearing off and the shoulder is getting pretty painful, again.

I haven't been walking much because I have been so busy and it is so hot and I am so lazy and have all of these excuses.  I need to watch my night time eating.  I am falling into a grazing pattern that I never used to have.  I just over ate at meals.  I didn't really eat all of the time.  I seem to do that starting after dinner.  (My husband has always done that and it has annoyed me because I can never get the dishes done and the kitchen cleaned up for the night because he snacks from dinner to bedtime.  NOW I AM DOING THAT!!!)  I need to CUT IT OUT!  The stupid thing is that I am not even hungry when I do that.
