Well, I’m pretty happy right now with how things are going. I still need to resume regular exercise, but I’ve been eating well. I haven’t been formally recording my meals into Calorie King, and to be honest, I’m probably not getting quite up to my minimum calorie intake, BUT, I’m trying to keep myself balanced. I’m getting my vitamins in my homemade protein shakes, and I’m trying to eat 3 times a day. (Food is still kind of repulsive to me, for whatever reason).
I feel good. I’m down to between 217 and 218, fluctuating. I hit the 215’s one day. That was exciting. My pants feel looser again, and my shirts are looking looser. My new bras have either stretched out a little bit, (not likely), or I’ve shrunk there a tad, too. I’m fastening them on the tightest hook.
This is all great for motivation.
Nate and I went golfing Thursday night, I think for the first time since the car accident 4+ years ago. It was fabulous, and great exercise. It was SO nice to be back out there, on the course. I hope that is something we can get back into.
How was your week?

I am so glad that you did well last week and that you enjoyed the golfing. As for me, for three plus years I have been reading your Health Group posts and telling myself that I have to do something about my weight and start exercising, but had not done anything until a week ago Sunday. I am happy to report that I lost have lost 7 pounds (I lose weight easily and then tend to gain it back). I still have to incorporate some exercise into my routine, which should be easier now that NY has cooled off. One thing that’s been different this time is that real food does not make me nauseated (usually I like just “white food” (potatoes, rice, pasta, sugar, flour) and that I am not crazy hungry.
Here’s to better health and skin not feeling too tight!

Hooray! Sounds like you are doing great! I was doing really well earlier last week, but this weekend we had a party and well, I’m still munching on leftovers. I really should just throw the chips and stuff away but it seems so wasteful… even if it is all “junk”. We did buy whole wheat buns, nitrate free hot dogs, and natural soda though and no one complained. 🙂
