Three Months later

Three months have gone by and I have lost a total of 70 pounds since starting this venture.  41 since my actual surgery date.

I haven't had to take a nap in over a month!  I am actually accomplishing lots!  Housecleaning, scrapbooking, visiting with friends!  Lots of activities, too.  Sleeping at night is so good now.  I feel so rested every morning.  Ready to start the day.

Hubby bought me a Xbox 360 with Kennect and we've been having a blast.  My favorite are the dance games!  Too funny!  I can hardly keep up and it leaves me giggling!  But what a workout!  Hey!  I'm moving!

Size 16 clothes or size large.  Wow!  They look small compared to what I'm used to!  Thank goodness for Value Village having a 50% off sale this week.  I bought my first winter coat in five years.  Picked up lots of tops and jeans.  Stuff for now and for the next size down.

I am finally able to get more food in me.  And water is tasting a whole lot better now.  Still can't stand the taste of chocolate.  Even hot chocolate has lost its appeal.

I am finding it interesting all the commercials on tv that advertise crap.  Especially food no one should put in their body!  No wonder obesity is out of control!  Almost every commercial.  Go into a corner store and I can't buy anything healthy.

Two months later

Here it is, two months after surgery and I am stalled.  I've been trying to add more foods to my daily meals, but I'm not enjoying it.  The biggest struggle I have right now is drinking enough water.  I can't seem to get that in me.  The taste doesn't appeal to me and the idea of - "is it thirst or hunger" still hasn't caught on yet.

Only a couple more pounds and I will finally hit ONEderland!  I am so looking forward to that!  To get out of the 200's almost seems unreal!  So close!!

On another note...XBOX with Kinnect is an awesome way to get in some exercise!  I love the dancing game!  So much easier on my joints.  And gets me moving in a more fun way.  I love to dance...both of my left feet don't seem to mind either!  So fun to try to keep up!
