22 months and 258 lost pounds



Recommended Posts

Focused on the last 40 lbs.

I continue to put Protein first, wait an hour to drink after meals, no baked goods, sugar, flour, so on.

Challenges continue to be trying to love exercise. I am still not consistent. I will get in a groove and the life gets in the way and it will have been a week since I did a planned exercise. I do add intentional movement throughout the day but I know 210 dedicated minutes would be better.

I still have head hunger and can not have sweets around me.

It has not been easy but so glad I did it and celebrating improved health and enjoying life.

You are wonderful.

Getting to 'love' exercise isn't in the cards for everyone.* If you view it as a neutral, like brushing your teeth, you may find yourself being more consistent.

* It could still happen, but that doesn't really matter** much.

* If you vary your routine, it may become more fun. Or not.

** What does matter is that you're wonderful forever.

Great thought about it being a neutral. And comparing it to brushing your teeth. No I don't love brushing my teeth but I never skip that. Thank you for the new perspective and positive thoughts.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
