Having been on a prescription food plan since early January and prescribing as much walking as my legs could handle, I discovered over the weekend that I have dropped 12 pounds since the first visit to the nutritionist. When the endocrinologist said to be more aggressive, my body was listening.
Now, oddly, this weight loss is too fast for me. I don't really want to do more than two pounds a week. I don't think I'm going to change much this month especially because I'm really enjoying the exercise, but if I have another huge loss in February I may want to consult with the nutritionist again.
I've scoured through my closet and I'm donating anything too big, too ugly, or that I never wore for whatever reason, to Goodwill. This includes a pair of jeans that last Friday literally fell off while I was walking through the kitchen. Hubby and I had a good laugh but I'm glad that didn't happen at work. I guess it would have been a funny story...
Also, this now means that I can officially play Wii Fit without breaking the balance board that comes with it. I plan on loading that up Friday night for sure unless I decide to go with Jim and meet some of his friends.
I've always been a bit afraid to go with him because I don't want to seem out of place, especially because I'm taller than he is. I realized that's pretty silly though and I think it would be fun to meet some of the folks he's always talking about.
You mentioned this at work the other day and it was a nice read. I laughed at your statement about losing 12 pounds "easily"....just realize that the first pounds are the easiest, because you have more to give away. the real trick is to keep them coming off, and then maintaining once you get to your desired weight. Most importantly is that you feel better about yourself. Wouldn't it be nice to have to change your blog name to "Medium woman in a small world"?.....Congradulations, and good work. I look forward to hearing more.
ReplyDeleteI was losing weight easily when I was on Special K, but when I went back to toast I didn't. They have the same calories so that is a mystery to me. I went back on Special K.
