I live alone, and can only eat a couple of ounces at a time, so there is no explaining this fridge

Fear of the zombie apocalypse?

Earthquakes maybe? (Good thing this wasn't show us your pantry, that is even more unexplainable )

I'm not so good at doing these on time! Lol

4) Proudest 2018 moment - having VSG surgery. Which also helped diagnose me with Celiac Disease. So now I'm no longer in gut pain and getting healthy!

5) We keep the fridge pretty bare... this is after a shopping trip! It's mostly lunch meat, cheese, pickles, eggs. The freezer has all our meat and our pantry is stocked, so is our spice shelf! I'm all for making home cooked meals, and thanks to Pinterest, I can do it with minimal ingredients.

Gosh I love looking at people's fridges!! I thought I'd be able to recognise what stuff is, but it's hard coz y'all live overseas where your cans and jars and packets have unfamiliar names. Except Fairlife Milk. So many peeps talk about it on BP haha.

Week one update: Working on loggin meals better. I think I completely logged 2 meals this week and got back to my ticker weight after the holidays so, yeah me!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the real look of the refrigerators, because come on... Life takes precedence over everything and we are authentic here. So proud no one felt compelled to beautify anything!!!!!

#5 Inside Fridge...(sorry I hate cleaning out the door bins...so dirty!

Just so you know, we fear the zombie apocalypse like nobody's biz here, so we're always stocked up with sour cream (cuz you can never have too much), 2% cottage cheese and yogurt...and there are more containers of the last two outside in the garage fridge. Just sayin'...

#6 Week 1 Update (even though I am a day behind and only have 6 days under my belt, I'll go ahead and update. I won't take a new pic until next week. Hopefully you will see a difference better then. No one sees a diff with just 3-4lbs...

WEEK 1 UPDATE

SW: 287.4lbs

Challenge Start Wt: 150.4lbs

Week 1 Wt: 147.2lbs (-3.2lbs loss this week)

GW #2: 140lbs

GW #3: 130lbs

10.5 months post op RNY

I'm at #1 goal weight, but I want to lose more!!! I want to see if I can destroy my thunder thighs once and for all!

Goals

Consume 60-74g or more Protein per day

Take all my Vitamins

Get in 100+ oz Fluid a day

Start logging faithfully

Start exercising again today! Walk 1hour 6 days per week, and add in strength training and core building exercises 3 days per week.

Challenges this weekend: We celebrated our last family Christmas this weekend, and even though I stayed pretty great with Atkins Induction #s, I did include things that weren't on induction (oh I'm tawkin' bout you Mr. Peanut and you Gallo brothers)! I still lost, so keeping my quantities down has helped!

Tomorrow is our anniversary. We are going out to our little Italian restaurant. I know I will tangle with a glass of wine, but feel confident being able to corral it to 1 only. And will be able to make good choices there. So no fears! Then once that's over, it's back to the straight and abstemious narrow path for this chicky!
