Went the the nutritionist on Tuesday. Found out that I can eat a few more carbs and need less protein. Basically I am on a 1200 calorie a day diet with around 100 carbs a day. Not to bad.
The scale is still stuck, the answer is to get out and exercise more........ YEA!

Just because I love my kitty Wellington!!!

New things
Last night I went kayaking for the first time and LOVED it!! And the bonus.. according to The Daily Plate, I burned 644 calories in one hour!! sweet!!
Tonight I have Yoga, which I highly recommend for anyone working out. It is great on the body, mind and spirit! It really stretches you out and helps to keep all your muscles happy!
Food wise I am plunking along with my 1 cup per meal and two snacks a day. I find that if I keep active, I am less hungry, again that tells me this is mind hunger and not body hunger.
The scale has moved a bit but not like it was. I am hovering around 43lbs lost but feel good.
I am selling my entire wardrobe in two weeks. NOTHING fits anymore and I figure if I get rid of it, I won't be as tempted to put it on EVER again! I am hoping to make a little money and use that to buy some more clothes!
My next mini goal is to get myself on the trail by my house.. it is a 5 mile loop and I know I can do it, just not sure why is scares me so much....

Monday update!
Went to the Dr's today and have lost an official 43lbs! Woo hoo! I am very happy right now, I know that the weight loss has slowed down a bit but it still feels good to know I am still losing!!
My A1C is down to 6.8 in the normal range without any meds!! I will most likely have to go back on one cholesterol med for the time being, but we will be monitoring that as well. Over all my Surgeon is very happy with my progress and so am I! I also requested to meet with the nutritionist again to check in with her and go over my food choices. This is all so new to me, that I just want to be sure I am not straying to far off track, and I know once I talk to her I will feel better.

I spent the 4th entertaining 2o of my nearest and dearests this weekend. We had a cookout in my back yard Friday night, and rented two pontoons all day Sat. We even got to stay out on the boat for the fireworks!! It was an awesome weekend!!
Food wise, I was able to stay on my diet by packing myself the right foods, and packing everyone else what they wanted!!

Thursday!
OMG I am going to be so busy the next few days. Tonight is prep night, food for everyone and then food for me..lol. I have to pack lunch and dinner for 12 people and host a cookout tomorrow night for 25. I love all the folks coming so it will be fun, I just want all the work done before they get here so I can enjoy all their company!
I have lost the two lbs that came back, so I have leveled out for now. With the extra exercise and changing up my diet a bit seems to be helping! Pushing the protein and liquids, cutting back even more on carbs and non essentials until I am at my goal, and then I will worry about maintaining then. Right now I feel like I am racing the clock and need to stay focused.
I'm at the point of replacing almost my entire wardrobe, fun yet expensive. I need work clothes first and foremost, and then cruise clothes... But I have until Oct for that, so I figure end of season sales around labor day!
back to work for me!
