Terry reminded me last night that it was exactly 2 months ago that I had my surgery. It seems like a lifetime ago. Since I hit the 50lb lost milestone last week I seem to have hit a plateau and haven't lost anything more. I have an appointment tomorrow night at 5pm with a Personal Trainer at the gym and I am hoping that will jump start things again.
Last night I went to see a favorite band of mine. I was able to dance the whole night without feeling tired or overly hot, or having my feet and ankles hurt. That was nice for a change. It's an absolutely gorgeous day today so I think I am going to get outside and enjoy it instead of being the lazy bum I would really love to be today. It's been awhile since I got home at 2am and I'm kind of fighting off a sore throat so I wouldn't mind being a complete slacker today, but I don't want to waste the sunshine.
Yesterday I did a Costco run and I bought a few things that were high in protein that I can enjoy. I really have to get more serious about getting 60g of protein in per day. I eat protein with every meal but I must admit that I've been lazy about counting the grams and I don't think I've been getting 60. I did buy some greek yogurt frozen bars that have 10 grams of protein and are low in sugar. I also bought some breakfast bars that are 15 g of protein and only 3g of sugar. They are peanut butter/chocolate, but I'm not that crazy about them. They kind of have a weird aftertaste, but I guess I am just going to have to deal. It's so weird to me still how nothing food-wise really rings my bell anymore. I did have some chile lime skirt steak the other night. I had the tiniest piece but it tasted fantastic. I guess I got so excited that I either ate it too fast or took too big of bites and of course, it got stuck. I spent about 30 minutes in total misery. The pain and the panic when something gets stuck is not something I would wish on anyone. It's awful. I tried everything. I finally had to throw up as much as I could and wait for the rest to go down. It's really my own fault. I know better. Another lesson learned the hard way.
A special shout out to all of you who continue to show support and encouragement as I navigate my way through this new lifestyle. I am 9 lbs away from my next goal. Onward and Upward....
