40 lbs and still losing

There has been a lot of learning. Leaning how much to eat, learning how much to drink. learning that I can't eat breakfast and quickly drive to work. It's a very nauseating drive. So far I have had one bladder infection and leg cramps. The infection was due to not drinking enough, and the leg cramps are because my range of motion is changing quite a bit. The more weight I lose, the more I'm moving and my legs aren't use to it, let's say that's a good side effect. I've lost 40 lbs so far and am motivated to keep going and not stop until I'm at my goal. You know I never made a goal, I've been so use to not reaching a goal, I never even made one. well here and now I have made one. My goal is 125 lbs.

Starting weight 215
weight today 175

that's 40 down and 50 to go.

Back to Work

I started back to work this week and doing pretty good. I have to confess, it's much better being busy than it was sitting on the couch. I have to hand it to all you stay at home wives, I couldn't hang. Now I didn't mean you stay at home mom's, I can understand your business.

So, yes like I said I'm back to work and it feels good. I went to a new support group tonight with my best friend and it was awesome to say to say the least. I'll definitely be going back. Today I am 4 weeks post op and still going strong. I also got a big kick of energy this last weekend. Still not really exercising regularly but I had a challenge tonight. 10 minutes of exercise 6 days a week and I will lose 3 lbs a week. Ok, I'll take that challenge and report back October 1st.
