Accountability

Thanks Jen!

And Oh no... You could make yourself very sick if you overeat. I sometimes remind myself the temporary enjoyment of that food isn't worth it. Your eating today may not have been good, but the important thing is not to dwell on it. Just start fresh tomorrow. You have been doing so well, hang in there. start with exercise routine and hitting your Protein goal.

So yesterday I reset and had a great day. I started the morning with my first 5K! I haven't really been doing the couch to 5K but I decided to go anyway. I walked most of it but did do some running. My friend and some fellow WLS support group members came. It was fun and definitely want to sign up for another one.

Yesterday's meals:

Breakfast: coffee/water

Lunch/Brunch: a few bites of omlette, slice of bacon, 3 small pieces of hash brown potatoes

Dinner: 3 oz Turkey meatballs, broccoli 1/4 cup

Today:

Breakfast: Protein Shake

Lunch: 3oz meatballs

Dinner: 3 oz meatballs, bit of broccoli

Snack: greek yogurt

Trying to get Water in and able to hop on the treadmill!!

Oh, and a NSV for me....after the 5K I went and bought new workout pants since my old ones are too loose. I had to keep pulling them up while I was running. :)

i did a lot of reading last night about overeating and the band. A reality check for me. Don't want a band slip so I guess I need to get this emotional eating in check. I have focused on eating a lot slower so it gives my brain a chance to register full.

I am proud of you Jen!! How cool that you have made friends from your WLS group you can work out with. We all need to refocus from time to time

Well I think I have finally hit a plateau. I can't seem to get under 218. Gained 1lb last week (despite not eating or exercising ANY differently than I have been). In the past few days I have lost that 1lb but otherwise scale hasn't budged in 2 or 3 weeks. I don't understand. I do go in for a fill next week so maybe they'll put more Fluid in my band... But I am not hungry, or overeating. Do I just need to step up the exercise or eat different foods?

My friend invited me to come over on Thursday for a pizza and tv night. So I know there will be salad, popcorn and pizza to eat. I am gonna allow myself to have everything (minus popcorn) as long as I get some exercise in that day.

Hey Natalie

So sorry to hear about your friend. Unfortunately I have been MIA because my dad has been ill-admitted into hospital yesterday and moved to ICU today. He will undergo an biopsy of his lungs tomorrow morning to see what they need to do to treat the pneumonia. I am very worried. My eating has been light- yogurt, hot tea and Soup -and I have lost a few pounds this week. Stress and a tight band.

Enjoy you pizza night!

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, Jen! You must be very overwhelmed at the moment. I can understand, as we had a heart attack scare with my grandmother last weekend. All you can do is be there by his side and stay positive. He will be in my prayers.
