Dear FF Diary,
This morning, the scale said 193.
Like I said before, not massive amounts of
weight loss all at once... but I can always hope? After all, I'm a little PMSy, maybe I've got some water weight?
Or maybe not, that's fine. The scale has been heading in the direction I need it to head, anyway... so that makes me happy.
These last few days have been harder -- celebrating birthdays and all that. Travel next week. It all adds up.
And of course, I'm finding that pre-planning food and buying ahead of time is ALWAYS the best choice to make. It's really easy not to -- I am the queen of convenience -- but, because Meridia doesn't give me the cravings I use to have, I can go without eating, only to find myself light-headed from
hunger and even less likely to make a decision about food.
Having food in the house helps (I am one of those that cannot have "junk" food in the house because I will plow through it -- and not because I want it, but because I feel this weird sense of obligation to go through it because I "should" since that's what I would do if I had it before).
Very weird.
Physical therapy is coming along nicely. Had my appointment with my ortho today and he thinks I should be off it in a couple of weeks or so. This had my therapist (appointment right after) sort of panic and started making me do all these other
exercises. I might definitely be sore tomorrow.
The doctor also told me to start heading back into the
gym, so the transition will be smoother between the PT and
gym. That way, I can start getting used to the machines that I use there, instead of the PT (although some of the machines are the same, I think it's also of getting back into that routine).
I'm thinking of getting a dog. I know that will make me more active, but it's also a lot of responsibility.
I think that's my update. I'm watching the show
I can make you thin on TLC and the guy has some good advice. We'll see if it helps. The tapping thing and the "programming" of those middle fingers hasn't worked for me, but I do his point about eating when you're hungry and eating what you want so you don't feel deprived.
I do all of that, but of course, I keep track in my fitday.
Deer told me the other day that since we've cut down on the fast food, he's finding that it doesn't satisfy him as much as it did when he was eating it every day. It's a good sign!
I think I'll start making him dinners for when he has to work his night job.
That's it for now. 193. I hope it's 192 by Sunday... and maybe in a couple of weeks, I'll be
under 190 -- I haven't seen that since... January 2006.
Love,
WineDeer
