The Milestones Keep Coming!

[Conley 12]

I reached another milestone last night and a couple this morning.

We went out to dinner last night to Gringo's Mexican food. This is the first week of no real food restrictions other than the carb laden foods. I ordered the Fajita salad without the flour bowl. I had them bring me diced fresh jalapenos and onions with a side of the Amazon sauce for dressing. I had 7 chips with red and green salsa. I had to. The salad was good. 30 mins after we got our meals, I was only 1/3 done with my meal. I was the only one eating at that time. The rest of the family had finished 10 minutes before me. I brought the rest of the salad home. The fajita meat is really good at that place

I took my blood sugar fasting this morning and it was 118. That is a little on the upper end of the normal tolerance. But the milestone was that I have not been taking diabetes meds and that was a great level for me!

I weighed myself this morning and I was 267. I haven't been that weight in years. I am also able to run at 5mph on the treadmill for a couple minutes now. I am going to increase the running time during my 2 mile treadmill workout.

I am very glad that I made the decision to get healthier. It is not real easy and it is a little struggle at times, but as long as I keep my eyes on the prize, I can run this race!

Wow, that's a lot of milestones all piled together. You're doing great, and you must feel great! The "normal" glucose reading when you're not even on diabetes meds is amazing.

Thanks Everyone.

Milestones can be hazardous to your Goal. I kinda let up over the weekend, but still paced myself. I had some brisket with BBQ Sauce at a gig I was doing sound for. I had 1/2 cup of potato salad. I don't feel too guilty about that though. I took very small bites and took a lot loinger to eat than my son did with 2 plates of BBQ. He is a growing 15yo boy.

I have yet to have a fill in the band. I am sure once I do, I will do better. Just got of 45 mins of the treadmill for 2.3 miles. I am feeling a little guilty so I went further than my normal 2 miles. If I can't face and recover from the obstacles, this journey is worthless. I consider the recognition of that as a victory as well. NOW I need to be good for the rest of the week My fill is on 09/04.

Oooooh! Half a cup of potato salad!

Honey, you don't need to kick yourself for that. How much potato salad would you have eaten in one sitting as a pre-op?

[Conley 12]

yeah I didn't feel too bad since I did do better than I would have prior to the program. I will be back on track weight wise in a day or two. I still hat the scale though...

thx Jean
