Kimberlina 18 Posted June 29, 2011 Well, I finaly finished my month long food journal. The good news, is that today I didn't have to write a thing down, or even eat healthy.... but I'm still doing it. Thank you GOD for giving me my motivation back!!! So I have been on a 1200 Calorie diet and had to keep my fat grams below 30, carb grams between 150 and 200, and had to get at least 60 to 80 grams of Protein daily. After a full two committed weeks of doing this I have lost.................................................. 11 pounds! Not only that, but I have also joined a gym and have spent an hour a night at least 4 nights a week there. And then the other days I have gone on bike rides that have been anywhere from 4 to 7 miles. LOVING LIFE AND LOVING ME AGAIN! So excited to see waht the future has to offer me! So, today I had to send in my food journal, and it my dietician is satisfied then she give me the OK. Once she gives me the OK, I get submitted for a final approval from my insurance to have the sleeve... in which case I could still have this surgery done this summer! Oh man............ so excited!
