bag o concrete...

(6 months post op) it's official... 50 lbs lost [that's a bag o' concrete] my knees, ankles and feet thank me. i could have done better but i'll take it. when the weather get's better i am sure i will lose more quickly. i have been mostly concentrated on my diet since the weather is bad.

dr. kim says that diet is 90% of weight loss so i have to keep telling myself that. anyways, i just wanted to keep you guys posted. everyday i strive to do better. it's a journey not a destination.

50°...

tomorrow will be 6 months so i will post my official weight loss then. let's just say, i'm back on track. my goal was to be under 300lbs before the end of the month. well, the weather didn't cooperate so that didn't happen. i could have gone the "boot camp" route at the gym or did more lifting this month but Texas fooled me. we had an entire week where it was 50° every morning, and every morning that week i rode. my rule for riding period is: if it ain't at least fifty, i don't ride. life is too short to be miserable riding :) so far i have only been able to ride on the weekends. 

i have been really trying to change what goes down the ol' gullet. cottage cheese and mandarin oranges for desert and limiting my "dining out". this has been easier than i thought.

diet > exercise...

(26 weeks post op) wow, that's all i can say. i lost almost 4 pounds last week and my riding was very limited. so what that did was cause me to really watch what i ate. i had a few 1100 calorie days not really thinking about it. the great thing about the surgery is you wait all day to eat something, even you're starving, you get full really quickly and you can't stuff yourself. that happened 3 days last week. i wasn't intentionally skipping meals (that's not good for you) it's just when i was hungry i was in meeting at work or out someplace where i couldn't eat. either way, my goal this month was to cross the 300 lbs mark ONCE AND FOR ALL!!! i have 10 days left to lose 4 lbs. it's sooooo doable. lets see.

back on track...

(25 weeks post op) ok, real talk. the reason i haven't really been posting much is because i haven't been eating the right things and have been gaining weight. or that is to say i "wasn't" so from november to december i gained 7 lbs (approx). so jan 1 i decided to go in the other direction. i am officially back on track. i will keep this quick and i will post later on "how and what" i was eating to gain weight. but for now i'm happy i'm back on track.
