Today is my 8 month Surgiversary!!! I'm down 90lbs from starting weight, down 113lbs from my high weight! I'm so close to Onderland I can taste it! (It's low carb, so I'm sure it's fine.) I celebrated by starting off the day with an hour at the gym. Did 30 minutes on the treadmill completing Week 3 Day 3 of the C25K and then did the 30 minute express workout at Planet Fitness!

Craving exercise (weird, but good). Let's hope these children back off of me long enough to make that happen!

Walked a mile yesterday, I can't wait to walk again.

Sorry I am sooo late. I will make it short and quick. 6/15 - Keto nothing out of the ordinary. 6/16 - Gym and healthy eating. 6/17 - I had a small I mean baby spoon of Red Velvet cake for my b-day and I was out for the count. I had to use the bathroom a lot. My mom said, "uh hmmm. was it worth it?". I whispered, " Yes" lol. Just an overall bad day. I broke the diet and ate carbs and sugar. Shame Shame !!!! Lol I am only Human. 6/18 - The cake was still messing with me so I barely ate or even drank water. I was exhausted all day.

One woman (weighing 392 lbs) had the bypass 17 years ago. She said back then there was not a pysch eval, waiting period or even a pre-authorization. She said she went to the doctor Monday and that Thursday she had the surgery. She showed me all the scars from access skin removal. She told me that nothing prepares you for the disappointment you will feel when you work hard and you do not look the way you thought. She had to have a full body lift and breast augmentation. It was soo enlightened to speak with someone whom was from that time and had the experience. She told me that sugar kills her but rice and bread is her fave. She stated that she got down to 125 lbs and felt soo unattractive. She stated that she gained her weight back up to 185 lbs and have maintained that weight for over 10 years. 6/25 - Had my Keto Meal.

She has lost 55 lbs since February on it. It is like $378 a month. I am like the hell!! Bro whom has that money. She is really excited and she wants to me to try it so bad. I am tempted. Keto has been awesome but I am bored now and want to try something else. I think I am a Fad Diet Groupie. Oh and the Hydrate. On the days when I focus on water. I am barely eating. I love those days. Food does not be on my mind. Below I have screen shot my progress. So yayy. Keto has really helped me get back on track.

So a while back I was asking about eating nuts for snack and got a good response . Then I came upon an article (now anything I read on line I take with a grain of salt) that does say eating certain nuts is good for the waist line. eg. Almonds,cashews and walnuts. This article also lists other foods that will help in that field such as tomatoes,oatmeal,meat/fish,eggs,olive oil,broccoli,avocado,berries,hot peppers, spinach and lastly green tea. I can honestly say I eat all these items and are mainly my daily diet...but the hot peppers. I would direct you to the site but can't find it. sorry any feed back ??
