| I'm feeling a little depressed today. Everyday for about a week, the scale has been at 191 in the morning and 194 in the evening. I'm not enjoying this yo-yo thing, and I really want to make it stop doing it. I'd rather have the scale stay just stationary than bounce up and down. I've been slacking on my exercises a little, which is probably why the scale isn't going down; I haven't been able to ride the exercise bike for 1 hour EVERYDAY the past 1 1/2 weeks. As a step in the right direction, though, I went to the gym yesterday for the first time and worked out for about 45 minutes; then, I rode my exercise bike for 45 minutes before bed. I didn't walk on my gazelle last night, but I did walk around Wal-Mart for about 1 hr 30 mins. I was going to join Curves, but they are closed from 1-3 pm; I had planned to go at 2:30 pm everyday b/c that is when it fit in my schedule the best. I've decided to go to the gym (free @ SFA) at that time each day instead. Also, I think I'm eating too many calories (~ 800-900). I've been eating salty pumpkin seeds this week b/c I figured they have good protein. Unfortunately, they also have a lot of calories, so I need to find a different protein source and stop snacking on the pumpkin seeds!
WLS Resolutions: 1. No chips (haven't really had any, yet, but I know I still like them) 2. No sweets (easy considering I don't like most sweet stuff) 3. Workout everyday (I do fairly well, except on the weekends, which is Thur-Sun for me) 4. Eat more veggies (haven't been doing so good making myself eat these) 5. Take vitamins (I've just added taking B-12 to my Flintstones vits; need to also add calcium citrate) 6. Drink PLENTY of water (I do pretty good w/ this one) My dreams for after WLS are: 1) To go on more dates and have a boyfriend for the first time in my life (hopefully to get married and have kids some day). 2) To be able to do all the adventurous things that I would love to try w/o feeling self-conscious or worrying that my weight will inhibit me. 3) To wear a normal size and be able to find clothes at a decent price in styles that I like. |
