So these past 3 months have come and gone in a whirl. It's insane!
I have discovered an application called "Monitor Your Weight" on my phone. It's pretty cool - you should check it out.
Basically, in 3 months I have lost 62.4 lbs. My BMI has gone from 56 to 45.9. I have lost 36% of the weight I want to lose in nearly 25% of the time I want to lose it. Not too shabby.
I am happy with my weight loss, so don't get me wrong when I say what I'm going to say next....
I know I would lose more if I did a better job getting in all my water and my food. The bottom line is that the days I eat more, I seem to have better results. True story. 99% of the time, I don't get my water or protein in. This is in part because I get full VERY fast (and to think I was sad when I found out my surgeon used a 36 instead of a 32 bougie). It is also in part because I get super busy at work and forget to drink or eat. I think I will need to start setting my alarm. No joke.
We went to Vegas for Thanksgiving and the walking, while felt awesome, wore me out so much. I will also confess to not getting in my exercising like I should. I need to get on it cuz I have big plans of getting back into the running scene in the next couple of months and a girl must learn to walk before she can run.
I have been traveling pretty solidly for the past 5 weeks and now I'm continuing that through mid-January. I'm going to Chicago for Christmas and then on Jan 3rd I leave for Miami to hang out for 2 days before heading on a cruise. The R&R will be exactly what I need.
So, to all of you - I wish you and your family the Merriest of Christmases and the Happiest of New Years!
