Okay. Today is 9/3/14. I am almost 1 year out! I have lost 40 lbs from the first visit I had with my Dr. before my surgery. I have gotten back on track and am really trying this time! I actually went back to my Dr today and got some great advice I believe. I have a whole new mind set than I did a year ago. As I have said in a post from about a week or so ago, I realized that I obviously was thinking that the weight would just come off with not much work from me. LOL. JOKE! But the good thing is I do realize that I was clearly NOT thinking right and most def not using my tool as I was suppose to.
I am very happy for all of you that lost your weight and for those of you that are losing and using this wonderful tool like we are all suppose to. Now that I am, I am determined. I will NOT give up again. If my weight loss stops again ( and it will ) I will have to find new avenues to get my body jump started again! I was told today that I need to get 80 g of protein in a day and up to 120 Carbs. I think the carb count sounds high so I am gonna try to keep it at 80 or less and see what happens.
I actually tracked my food intake for today and to my BIG surprise I am WAY under in protein - 54 g , a little high in fat 68g( for my liking) and a bit over in carbs 83g. calories were 1154. So a bit high on calorie also.
When I asked the dr and nut how many calories should I stay around per day and how much fat should I limit my daily intake to? The answer from both were, if you are getting all of your protein and stay down on carb then calorie and fat will fall in place. That statement was kind of scary to me. But I am just going to roll with this and see what happens! I will be blogging more so I can keep track of me........ hopefully! This is my journey and I will be a winner!
