It's October 2nd and I started the month right. I'm back here, blogging away, while I cool down from my run! That's right, I went for a run this morning. I did about 1/2 of my usual route which is fantastic considering I haven't really run since my surgery which was in July. Yea me! New month, new Me!
I am tryinng to keep up with my blogging. My diet is going slower now, which really pisses me off. When you are on this kind of diet, you expect instant results, not a suddenly a slow lag. My willpower was fading, but I have found it again with great resolve. Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels! I not only want to slim down, I want to drop my cholesterol dramatically. I am still hopeful that I will be able to deal with it without medication. We shall see. I see the surgeon tomorrow for the final check since my surgery. If all goes well, I am running tomorrow night. I will update tomorrow as to whether or not I get out.
Have a great one!
My diet is going pretty well and I feel good. I am confident that I will be at or near my goal weight by my goal date. I am hoping to be very close to that the week prior, as my husband and I are going to Cuba for our 5 year anniversary. We didn't really have a honeymoon, so we're pretty excited to get away. But, I want to be comfortable on the beach and maybe even wear a 2 piece! So here's to a good week and more weight loss to come! Cheers!
Working really hard on the new diet. Not that it's really new, I've done it before. It's quite hard in social situations though. A good friend's husband recently passed away and it was very hard to pass up the "refreshments" served after the funeral. But, I did it nonetheless. I am proud fir having the willpower, but that won't make the thoughts of the tasty looking food go away. I keep telling myself, "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels" Maybe one day I'll believe it!
Ok, so after some well needed time off after my surgery, I am back! Well, not totally, but I'm back nonetheless. I have started a medically supervised diet to get things moving along, and they are moving! I still can't exercise for 3 more weeks, but when I can, watch out! John and I booked our anniversary trip to Cuba for next month, so that definitely lit a fire under my butt. i hope everyone is doing well and I promise to update regularly from today on!
Now I have even more to deal with! Uggghhhh! When am I going to get a friggin break? Huh? When? We talked about my surgery on Friday and my family doc is going to assist the surgeon, so that's good. I always feel better when he is there. Then we talked about my other issues. He thinks that it still might be Crohn's, but more likely now a parasite. Either way, more testing to be done. Then we went over my bloodwork from a couple of weeks ago. Yeah. I have dangerously high cholesterol. My overall is really high, my bad is really, really high, and my good is really low. Uh huh. Cause I really need this right now. We talked about my diet - which is really good, honest. And about exercise, which is normally really good, just not lately cause I am in too much pain. Before the hernia, I was running on average 10-12km/week. Either way, he said only 20% of cholesterol is factored by your diet/exercise and the rest is what your body produces on it's own. Sooooooo....I have to cut out a bunch of foods that I already hardly eat, drink more red wine and citrus juice, exercise more, and lose more weight. And even then, I will still need meds for the rest of my life if i don't want to have a heart attack or a stroke in my 30's. He is going to wait 3 months to see how much I can lower it on my own before we start the meds. I just feel like I take one step forward, 2 steps back, you know? I'm sorry I keep posting how miserable I am. Hopefully soon I can start posting good stuff. Well, at least now I will definitely have to step up the weight loss!
Ok, so the situps are out and the "mummy tummy" is staying.....for now. My surgery is scheduled for next Friday to repair my ventral hernia. After that, I'm looking at around 4 weeks with no lifting, nothing too strenuous. Yeah, cause that's really conducive to weight loss. Regardless, I will be eating well(as well as possible) and doing what I can exercise wise. I will also be stopping breastfeeding after my surgery. If I can't lift her, it's gonna be kinda tough to breastfeed. We made it alomst 8 months, and I am proud of that!
I am still totally wiped out from my weekend of crazy moving. I helped Danny and Peter move this past weekend and I am never helping anyone move ever again. For some reason, she got it in her head that we should go all night. I am very easily guilted into these things, and so we moved all night. Started at 4:30pm on Friday and went non stop until 6am Saturday. It was insane. Plus, they hardly eat. And I had been sick all day, as usual. We didn't get any food until midnight. Saturday was worse. Leftover pizza for breakfast(only 1 slice) and then noting till 11:30pm. Even then, it was just a sub. My body is in freakout mode and is desperately trying to hold onto everything I am eating and drinking now to make up for the weekend. I am dreading the scale on Friday. If I can't get rid of some of this retained fluid, I am going to be way up.
Side note, PW girls - I am officially on a hiatus from both boards. I cannot deal with the drama right now, so if you want to talk, you know where to find me.
Ok, so I was down 1lb today....I am happy! Any loss is a good loss, right? I am moving my friends to a new apartment this weekend, and hopefully it doesn't turn into a huge pizza/beer binge as moving usually does. Oh, did I mention it is Canada Day tomorow? I have to have at least one celebration beer, right? And wouldn't you know it, Peter already bought me my favourite Raspberry Wheat beer as a thank you for my help this weekend. Don't you hate it when people know you so well. As for being sick...still..the possibilities are down to two. Both with their pros and cons..no, wait, that's the Amazing Race! Nope, just cons here! Anyway, more testing to come and hopefully the end result is a happy healthy me! A great weekend to all!
Was to go walking, but it's raining again :( John and I are investing in a jogging stroller/bike trailer this weekend. I am excited to be able to take the kiddies jogging with me. It'll open up a whole new window for when I can jog! I willno technically be working out this weekend, as I am helping my best friend move on Saturday. It will just be Danny, her hubby Peter and I. We hope it goes smoothly!
The diet is still going. I am still too sick to want to eat most days, but I force myself so I can continue to breastfeed. I am afraid that I am not going to continue to produce enough though, with how hard it is for me to keep anything in.
As for why I chose my goal date? It is my 5th wedding anniversary!
