well, for some reason i thought i had posted an update on the blog about my official totals. from when (i was supposed to) start the liquid diet on 7/31 i have lost 30lbs. that's kinda the funny part. i lost 10 lbs the first month, not on the liquid diet but showing some restraint. the next 10 were after the first week from the surgery and the last 10 were for the month following that.
dr. kim says i should expect 10 lbs lost a month for the next 3 months and it will taper to 8 the next 3 months and so on. the total goal is my weight at 222. my triathlon peak i was 225 so if i can get to 222 then that will be amazing!!! seeing as how i can only eat 6 oz at a time and have to wait 2 hours to eat again if i wanted there is only so much damage i can do.
i'm either riding or doing weights every day. i am really starting to "tick over the pedals" on the bike now. my average mph has gone up 1mph every week. i started at 11mph over 7 miles to 13mph over 12. these numbers are that great but considering i had un-mothballed my bike after 18 months 2 weeks ago, it aint too bad. i know people have mentioned that i am being too hard on myself but i keep looking at where i was and that's where i want to be. i took a 4 year "fat vacation" i have always been athletic so my standards are higher. here's something kinda crazy. when i was at dr. kim's office and seeing the other fat people there, i thought of them as "you people". i'm not like "you people" i don't need food support groups. i just needed a jumpstart to get my life back and it has so far succeeded. don't get me wrong, i applaud anyone trying to improve their situation. i just don't consider myself one of them. i'm not saying that's a good thing either. it's just how i think of things. more to come later.
