How did everyone survive the holiday?



Recommended Posts

I hope everyone has survived the holiday and black friday with a lot of love and success!

This was the second year in my history that I lost weight at a Thanksgiving weekend. The first time I had had my wisdom teeth pulled the day before so all I could consume was a can of ensure. And This year I had my lovely tool "Lappy" the lap band keeping me in check. It was kind of fun watching everyone else pass out in "food comas" while I still went on as per normal.

After weighing in today I got a little excited because I am 4.5 pounds away from changing BMI categories! For most of my 20's I have been ticketed as OBESE and for the first time in years I will not be Obese but instead overweight. I am not sure why I am so thrilled about this or why I consider it a big deal. ???? Because then it is just another chapter to the "normal/healthy" range. But I am still stoked!

I did pretty well. I cooked everything just as fattening as always, I figured it was a special meal, no need to give up things we have once a year. Difference was I only took a few bites of each thing. I still took in more calories than I should have, but it was probably a third of what I would have eaten before so I consider it a victory. It was really nice to enjoy the meal without the food coma wasn't it!

I've kind of let my plan slide a little this week with the kids home and the holiday and all and had a couple of ups and downs on the scale but came out with no gain or loss overall so I consider that a victory also.

I also cooked normally and just selected just a spoon of each. It worked out well for me. I think I drank too much wine over the weekend, but I did get in a few workouts which helps.

I did ok. Something got caught pretty early on in dinner so that was it for me. PB'd for almost an hour until it got loose. Blech, but it helped me lose an extra pound this week.

Hope everyone is good!

Can't get into tickerfactory to update, but I'm at 179.8 today! The upside of being ill this past week...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
