Whooo Hoo! Happy Happy! "dancing in my chair" Just got back from my appointment with Richard, the behavioralist and i had him weight me since my scale has gone Kaput and i'm down 2.3 lbs. Whoo hoo! and it's even during cycle time which is usually the kiss of death for my weigh-in because i gain so much water weight and have Edima.

I've also decided that i want to go the weight management route because i really need some more guidance here. just this past week has taught me that; i've been floundering here for the past three months. Now i just need to work out if going all food or maybe doing a hybrid of the weight management program would be better for me. I'm thinking that i'd go for the 12 week session first and hopefully that would get me down those 22 lbs i need to go. and then i could go back to the surgery track.

but Oh Joy, i'm under 400...just barely...but i'm there!
Weigh-in: 399.7 lb lost so far: 2.3 lb still to go: 19.7 lb Diet followed reasonably well

I’m a little tired today. It’s because of the pain meds for my neck…which is doing remarkably better. I have a better range of movement but it still hurts when I turn too far to the right. But I slept well…again pain meds.

I forgot to work up my meal plan last night so I had to wing it today. Spent way too much time on Facebook, but it had been awhile since I’d been up there. Making a plan is much better than winging it. Who knew? Well, someone did. I missed a snack meal and made my lunch a bit too big. Gonna have to watch that. Can’t do it after surgery. I’ll explode.

I’m noticing that when I HALT, I start to mess up like not chewing slowly or not waiting and counting between bites. This time it was T (tired). It’s a mental thing I’m gonna have to work on. The 15 lbs in 10 wks challenge starts tomorrow. I’ve decided to meet the mini challenges of no cocktails (easy since I don’t drink and when I do it’s once a year) and working out 30 mins/daily. I have two break days now Wednesday and Sunday. What I’ll do is on break days start off with doing some activity for 10 mins and increasing each week by 5 mins till I get to 30 mins everyday. For the other days, I’ll just do what I’ve been doing…the walking and the strength training work out. It might even be easier when I get my blind Alive aerobics, pilates and strength training audios.

Well, I’ve got good news and bad news. Which do you want first?

Okay, good news! I actually added about 10 mins walking time to my regimen. It was by accident but …hey! We saw this other walking trail that we thought we’d try and it turns out that it wasn’t a good one tree-wise or cane-wise. There were too many cracks in the sidewalk that kept jamming my cane and throwing me off my grassline guide and as we got further into the trail, there were way too many trees and bushes for Karen (she’d have to guide me around them). So after nine mins of that, we got back into the car and went over to our usual walking trail. And of course that takes anywhere from 27 to 30 mins depending on how I’m feeling and moving that day. Since I had already done 10, I was winded and aching allot sooner than usual , but we finished it any way. Well, of course, we had no choice, we had to get back to the car. But Voila! Ten extra mins. Now I have to keep that up so on Monday, we’re going to cross the divide and walk five mins into the second part of the trail. I actually did all of this while in major pain, too. I’m not sure what I did last night to my neck and shoulder on the right side, but I could barely move them this morning with out major shooting pain going through my neck and head. I Advil’d up and even did some of the cold therapy lotion I have. When I got back I advil’d up again and did the hot therapy lotion. I’m still in pain right now, but it’s better. Of course, more Advil. Lord, what am I gonna do when I have surgery and can’t take this stuff anymore?

Now, the bad news. I’m not pleased with my meal plan for today. I’m not sure what happened, but it was hard getting my protein in without jacking my calorie count over the limit of 1350. I think the meat choices I made had way less protein than usual for some reason. I didn’t have that many sides that didn’t contribute…some fruit and very few veggies (also not happy about that). Well, one thing, if I’m gonna eat another hot dog, it has to be one that’s lower in fat and higher in protein. Luckily for me the food lists in Fat Secret gave me some good choices if I can find them. And like with my sandwich bread and English muffin choices, I’m gonna have to find buns that have way more protein than the ones I chose two weeks ago. Also, I need to stay stocked in protein bars and powders and shake making ingredients.
