On Point!

I just need to pat myself on the back a little and tell you all how proud of myself I am!

I have been so good on both the nutrition and activity fronts!

Here is my food diary for today:

In case you're wondering that 84 grams of Protein.

Yes.

84. freaking. grams. of. PROTEIN.

I've actually upped my calorie levels (with the full support of my doctor) and am trying to stay between 1000-1300 calories every day.  And it's working!  The scale is going down down down!!!

Here's what I saw today:

From 249 10 days ago.

So today at Bootcamp, one of the activities was running while carrying a dumbell.  I was carrying a 20 pound dumbell and it was HARD!  I cannot believe I used to carry an extra 100 pounds on my body.  No wonder I feel so much better now.

I think I'll be really sore tomorrow, but I love it.

I love exercising with this group of awesome, motivational, supportive ladies.

Go on a blind date without wondering if he's going to think I look fatter than my pictures. 6. Climb the Eiffel Tower!!! 7. Get excited about having my picture taken. 8. Sorry for TMI...but "adult time" is so much more fun! 9. Step on the scale to see a number that begins with 2. 10. Finish a whole Zumba class. 11. "Get low" dancing and get back up. 12.

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Burger or salad?

Image
I've been craving a burger. Not just any burger. A CHAR GRILL burger. Char Grill is a local NC burger joint that used to only be in Raleigh, but now there are several other locations in Cary and Chapel Hill.  The one in Chapel Hill is my own personal hell , because it is SOOOO close to my work.  I drive by and smell the lovely scent of grilling....EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. So today I finally went and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger, no bun. This is what I got:   A cheeseburger?  Or a salad? Anyway, I was slightly amused by how much lettuce is "on" my burger. Coincidentally, I know my taste buds have changed...because this was not as delicious as I imagined it would be.
