Wedneday (sorta) weigh in # 5

I did it again. I should change this to Thursday weigh in. Sorry.
Start weight 211
lost 13.5 on liquid diet to
198 lbs day of surgery

Last week 175.5

This week 169.5
Lost 6 lbs Woo HOO


Really got lots of excercise this week. I thought I was going to stall, but Yeah I was wrong. Really enjoying Isoflex chocolate protien with milk. So I'm finally getting my protien in. Over did the excercise a bit. I was dead on my feet by Monday.

Goal for the week. 5000 steps per day, tennis twicw a week, swimming twice this week, and hopefully to get out bike riding. That 6 lbs is sure motivating.

Have a great week every body.

NEVER AGAIN

Well I learned a lesson last night. I have been struggling with getting all my protein in. I thought once I could have mushies and soft food I would be able to get it with cheese, milk, bean and fish. Well Lucy (my tummy) doesn't like fish. I've tried salmon, trout, tuna and last night I tried sardines. NEVER AGAIN. They were kinda dry and sitting in my chest. Normally I would take a drink to wash it down. I took a drink and it washed it up and down the kitchen sink. Not a fun experience. fish is now officially not part of my diet. Lucy has been grumpy all day today. The only thing she didn't complain about was milk. I Think I'll give her a break and have chicken broth for supper and some milk later on. I can tell I'm really low on calories and protein. I am exhausted.

On to better things. I had a great week last week. I bought a pedometer and got at least 10,000 step or 9 km each day. I hadn't realized how little I had been doing. Now my son (Draven) and I walk the dogs in the morning and my husband and I take them for a long walk at night. We went swimming. I used to sit on the sidelines and watch, I forgot how much fun it was to play in the pool with my husband, son and his friends. I also forgot what great exercise it could be. We bought Tennis rackets and played. We suck but it was fun. I enjoyed being out and being active and made my son very happy. Now to keep the pace up. Wish me luck.

Sorry I was MIA

OOps sorry, Things got pretty busy around here. I just got home from holidays last night. We went camping in the foothills of the Rockies in Alberta with my Husbands Brother and his family. We also went to visit my Brother in Lake Louise. It was nice. I hadn't seen them in 4 years. They just moved here from Ontario. Camping was great. Lots of fresh air and we did lots of exploring so I am now getting exercise. This morning I got up and walked my dogs first thing. I really want exercise to become part of my daily routine now that I'm getting my energy back. I missed 2 weeks of my Wednesday weigh ins. Again sorry. I will be back on track this Wednesday.

Have a Great week everybody!!!

Yuck to Protien

I am having such a hard time getting my protein in. It was hard before surgery but I thought because I could add different things to it now it would be easier. No such luck. My friends who haven't had WLS say chug it. I so wish I could. One glass done and over with. I miss drinking water that way too. I used to drink 8 oz at a time. I really think alot of it is in my head now. It hurt to take sips in the beginning and I kinda hold everything in my mouth and let it slowly go down. Not good when you hate protein shakes. Any suggestions on how to get over myself. I need the protein my energy has really crashed and I hate being so tired.

Head Hunger or Jelousy

So it been 11 days. No I'm not really hungry. Actually nothing TASTES very good. That being said. My wonderful husband has been doing all the planning and cooking. He decide it was time everyone started eating healthier. Tonight he made a beef stir fry. I am hiding in my room. It smells absolutely wonderful. I Love stir fry, I love vegetables all kinds. Eating protien first will be strange for me. He's always been a pretty good cook, just not adventurous. Now he's trying lots of new things. I have one child that would love to gain weight . He's about 5'7" and 120lbs. My other child is going to have to watch his weight. He is 5'1" and weights 105lbs. My husband is a pretty big guy. He needs to loose about 40lbs. We have decided while I change my eating habits its time to create better habits for everyone. Wish us luck. Oh and it is definitely Jelousy , I'm really not craving anything.
