Week 5

 

STALL OVER!!! 

I lost 5.6 pounds this week.  I'm so so happy!  I've continued working out and stuck to my food plan and it worked! 

STATS:

High Weight: 324
Starting Weight: 318
Surgery Weight: 300
Today: 284.4

I'm one poop away from having lost 40 pounds! 

I'm feeling good.  I have more energy than I used to have.  I've even skipped some weekend naps and have gone to the gym instead! 

I started taking Spin classes with a girlfriend.  I go to the gym 3-4 times per week and next week I'm doing my FIRST EVER 5k!  ME!  Doing a 5k!  I don't necessarily like working out but I find myself almost craving it.  Which is funny because a few weeks ago I was at a girlfriends house and she was telling me how she loves to work out and I'm pretty sure I looked at her like she had 16 heads. 

I've been religously logging onto My Fitness Pal and logging my foods.  It's just become a norm for me. 

The hard times I'm having right now:

• Insomnia.  It's crazy right now.  Last night I took 10mg of melatonin before bed and fell asleep okay.  But then at 1:30 I was awake for 4 hours.  I'm going to call my doctor today to see if I can get something to sleep. 
• Food just isn't appetizing to me right now.  The only things that taste good right now are eggs and cheese.  Meats are just blah to me.  I'll see a recipe and think it looks really good but when the time comes to eat it I have to choke it down. 

A friend is taking monthly pictures of me so I can see the weight loss.  The left is the day before surgery 10/7 and the right is this past Tuesday 11/10. 

Until next week...
