Well darn it. I am in the midst of a platau. I am at 356 and have been for several weeks. I am going to kick start my exercise routine tomorrow and journal my eating. I am also going to drink NO calories except for milk. I have allowed too many calories to slip by my lapband.
My goal will certainly be Protein Produce and Fiber. I am going to be taking a class about eating raw. Should be interesting.
Tomorrow I am going to have my sister or mom take some pictures so I can show you guys more progressive pictures.
I did do a HUGE thing today. I had to go see my psychiatrist and case manager today. The building they are in has an upper entrance for people who are wanting to check in with the reception staff and a lower entrance for staff or disabled people. For the FIRST time since I became a client of this clinic 7 years ago I parked upstairs and walked up and down the stairs twice today. Yes by the time I got upstairs (from seeing the psychiatrist and waiting for the case manager) I was a tad winded but it felt soooo good knowing I was able to do it without stopping and I was still able to talk so I wasn’t too winded! Like I said I have not been able to do this in the 7 years I have been in treatment there.
When I first became a client at the mental health center I weighed about 550 pounds and was in a wheelchair. Slowly, and I mean SLOWLY, I was able to transition to a walker. Now, at 356 pounds, I can walk up and down the
stairs TWICE. This feels like such an enormous victory!
I am learning and growing mentally, physically and spiritually. This journey is so worth the effort and work! When I get the next 200 pounds off I think I will feel like I have arrived in life.
Life and God is good.
