I am down 2 more lbs this week. I weighed in at 195.4lbs this morning. Surger weight 224lbs. That's 28.6lbs since surgery and 66.6lbs from my start. I am still at 2cc's in my band, 2nd fill set for May 2nd. I had a weird dream the other night and ended up rubbing my port site in my sleep. I am so aware of it all the time. I hope it's a fleeting sense of awareness. The less fat I have around the site, the more I am aware. I hope I just get used to it. Anyone else out there experience this?

 

I posted some pictures last week of progress. I was left seeing difference but somehow they didn't encompass what I thought that 65lbs lost SHOULD look like. Expectations Jenny! Sheesh! So I have gone back into the old photo library and put together a Start to Today photo comparison. I feel much better about these ones!

The short of it? I'm still losing... slowly. I'm just fine with it! :) Content as can be! Working hard at beating my head and old habits and enjoying spring and the dog parks!

 

And now for the delicious SUPER EASY bbq pork tenderloin recipe that's not really a recipe:

1 pork tenderloin

2Tbsp evoo

1Tsbp Pepper

1Tbsp Salt

2Tbsp minced garlic

3 large pieces of tinfoil

Trim excess fat off of loin. Message 1Tbsp of evoo and half the spices on to each side. Press in half of the garlic on each side. The most difficult part: wrap loin with one sheet of foil. Roll like a sushi roll and twist closed both ends. Put the seam side of wrapped loin down on the centre of the tin foil and repeat. 2 wraps could do the job but I like to play it safe and repeat 3 times. BBQ on low for 40 minutes, turning every 10 minutes. Remove from grill. Let rest for 10 minutes. Open, cut, serve. Easy!!!

 

This meat was so juicy and tender! No mess, no fuss! I served with boiled cabbage. 1 small head of shredded cabbage. Boil for 5-7 minutes in veggie stock. Strain, save stock in freezer for soups, throw in to hot wok and saute with onions. I also served with green salad and chickpeas with an oil and vinegar dressing.

 

Have I mentioned how much I love produce in the spring and summer! Also, the BBQing so takes care of too many dishes to wash up. I could live off of meat, fruit and veggies over the summer months! The strawberries and pineapple are even starting to be good! The sunshine makes me feel younger. It renews my sense of dedication to my new lifestyle too! Ahh spring fever! No matter how old I get, I will still get wrapped up and carried away in your glorious rays. I will roll down my window at +4 degrees, sunglasses on, busting out a good sing along to Beastie Boys, Kings of Leon or even Salt & Peppa!

 

YEAH SUNSHINE!

Happy Spring!

Thanks guys! I know that I feel a million times better, but like so many of us out there, I have a hard time with image still. I see myself as the 262lb Jenny most of the time. I know this will change eventually and maybe it is not a totally bad thing, but still appreciate being able to share with people who get it!

Take Care,

Congrats for getting under the 200 pound...........I started at 267, not far from yours, and working to see under 200. I did have to go buy a pair of pants one size smaller because my other ones were too big and I felt very uncomfortable in them.........LOL Too big...thats a first for me.

Thanks Judy! Such a great Non Scale Victory... The smaller sizes! You will make 199lbs and be in complete disbelief despite how hard you have worked for it! Keep on trucking!
