2 Week update

Hi all...

So, I am now 2 weeks out from surgery! I am down 13lb since surgery and 33lb total. I am really starting to feel good. I have become addicted to watching The Biggest Looser,on hulu and it is motivating me to work out more. I have a feeling that I have the potential to become one of those work out obsessed people. I am so excited about that! I have always wanted to be like that. I want to start lifting weights and toning up in the next week or two.

 

So far I am walking about 3 miles 5 times a week. I have a personal goal of doing a 5K in a few months so I going to start training for that soon. I figure, If i can walk a 5K just fine I can run it by the end of summer!

 

As for what I am eating, I think I am doing really well. I have been mostly drinking shakes, eating greek yogurt and cottage cheese. I am starting to work in scrambled eggs, cream of wheat and little bits of chicken. I noticed that even though I can do a full 9-11 oz shake in about 1/2 hour I can only get in a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and only about 2 oz of chicken. Its crazy how the more dense the food the less you can eat. I am going to try the cream of wheat this morning and see how that works out :)

 

I want to give a little shout out to my friend TTL... Way to go with surgery this week! I'm glad everything is going so well for you! Keep up the good work :)

 

Have a great week everyone!

Happy Passover to everyone, (or Happy Easter :) )

Amber

Another thing we have in common! I used to be quite obsessive about the gym back in the day. It is definitely something all fall prey to. According to my trainer, there are worse things. I don't like being obsessive about anything, but the gym makes me feel good. STRONG. POWERFUL. Lifting weights makes me feel even better. I stopped really caring about the scale and am excited to see my trainer again to see if I gain any muscle. I'm just waiting...only two more weeks!

I can still eat about 2 0z. of dense food now...so I don't think it will change much.

Are you going to join a gym and get a trainer???
