I promised myself I would Blog everyday and did that happen NOPE, it's hard to do it, but I want to make sure I do it to keep myself on track, here are some post from the past couple of days.
Friday Post May 20th
I actually woke up early this morning and I have
to tell you I feel really good. I woke
up at 6:40 to the puppy needing to go out.
The puppy slept through the night and so did my 2-year-old… I feel like
a new woman. I had to be at the Dr.’s at
8:15 to get my drain taken out, I was not going to shower until after my apt
because it is a huge ordeal to take a simple shower with all the gauze under my
arm and dealing with the drain that keeps getting in the way, but I decided I
needed to look somewhat decent going to the Dr.’s. I jumped in the shower, got my make up on and
did my hair, got Ellie dressed and hair done (With the help of my older girls)
and out the door by 8:05 am. That is a
record for me, if you know me I am late to everything, I will even be late for
my own funeral. My mom met me at the
Dr’s office to help me with Ellie. Dr
came in and said everything looked great and I was able to get that ugly thing
out of me. I already feel so much better
not having that drain attached to me. I
got home and had to start work.
For Breakfast I had a Protein Shake, they are so
easy to drink on the way to the Dr’s. I
had half of the shake before I went to the Dr’s and then around 10:30ish when I
got home I drank the other half.
For Lunch I had ¼ cup of Tuna Fish, with 1 TBSP of
Mircle Whip and of course you have to have a little bit of pickles in your tuna
fish, I can’t do the Real Mayo, I have to cheat a little, I had one slice of
Toast, The toast helps dissolves better in my stomach then a regular piece of
toast.
For Dinner we made Fajitas- The thing I love about
Fajitas is they are so good without tortillas I don’t need the carbs eating
them, I love the cooked Veggies and the yummy Chicken.
Saturday May 21st
I had a nail apt at 8:30 in the morning and a
meeting after that for my church. So of
course I had my protein shake for breakfast again because I woke up late and
did not have time to make me something but I will be honest with you, when I
knew it was my nail apt I would make sure I would have plenty of time to get
up, get ready and make a special trip to McDonalds and get my breakfast and
Large Diet Coke and eat it and drink it on my way to my nail apt. It feels so good not be tempted to go to the
drive through 2 times a day. After my
nail apt I had to go to a Stake Primary Meeting, I am the Primary President in
my church/ward. It really was my first outing
with my family there, with all the fresh fruit you can eat and all the Yummy
Muffins you can eat. I have not had any
fresh fruit for 8 weeks so I decided maybe I will try a little, I really wanted
some pineapple but I was a little worried about that so I stayed with the
Watermelon and the Cantaloupe, I did take a mini muffin but only ate half of it
before I knew I had to be done. Everyone
kept telling me to go back and get 2nd but I knew my limit. It’s hard when people don’t know what you
have been through to keep pushing you to keep eating because there is so much
food, I had to nicely decline more
food. At the end of my meeting they
handed out some homemade small round chocolate balls and I thought I will just
eat one. I ate it on my way back home
and about 15-20 seconds after it hit my stomach I thought I was going to puke
and die, Luckily I only lived 3 min from the lady’s house where the meeting
was, I came home and had to lay down for about 20 mins, it was so not worth it.
After I felt better we ran to Idaho Falls to get
some things, Everyone was starving and we stopped and got Tacos, I got a small
Hard Shell Taco and ate most of it, I think there was only a few bites left, it
was the first time I had a full Taco in a long time, I usually just eat the
meat and the cheese when we make them.
For Dinner I made the Meatball Spaghetti Cast Iron
Bake, it was really good, I had a meatball and one small spoon full of
Spaghetti. I made sure I had my protein first before I ate the Spaghetti. Normally I eat a whole plate full of plain
spaghetti noodles, I love them and just a small spoon full satisfied me. I will put the recipe on my blog because it
was such a hit for my family. It’s not
the healthiest food but it was sure yummy.
Sunday May 22nd 2016
We got up a little late for Church so again I had
a protein shake, my kids asked me if I ever get sick of them and the answer is
yes but the convenience of them is the best for a buys full time working mom of
3. I drank a little on our way to church
and then during Primary I was able to drink the rest of it throughout the rest
of church.
For Lunch we had Grilled Turkey and Cheese Sandwiches,
I was able to eat one half of the sandwich and a couple of bites on the other
half. I was so full it made me so tired
so I took a long Sunday nap. I love
them, they are the best
We go to dinner almost every Sunday to my parents
and my brother and sister and their family come. We made Hawaiian Hay Stacks. I ate about 6 bites of dinner and was so
full. I love
them because you can fill it up with fresh veggies and some good protein in
it. I only had one small scoop of Rice
but was not able to eat it all
Monday May 23rd 2016
Nothing to exciting happened today, just the
normal busy crazy Monday’s. Work was
crazy busy, I forgot to eat breakfast, so I grabbed some cheese and some nuts and ate a snack at 10:30. That has not happened to me in a long time, I don't know how I forgot breakfast
I finally did my actual weigh in and I am down to
186.4 lbs. From the start of this
Journey I am down 34.4 lbs. Which I am beyond Excited about
I am embarrassed to even show
these before and after pictures but this is where I am as of today. I still have a long way to go but I am very excited for the road I am heading down to have a healthy life
For Lunch Eric brought home a Jr Hamburger from
Wendy’s I ate half of the hamburger and gave the rest to the girls when they
got home from school. We had to go
grocery shopping I had no food in the house we went down to Winco to get food
by the time we were done and I would get home and have dinner ready it was
going to be 9:00 so we stopped at Café Rio and I got a Chicken Tostada, the
crazy thing is before the surgery I was able to eat a whole big Salad and most
of the yummy shell, I was able to eat about 7 bites and I was so full, I told
Eric next time I am going to just share with him and have a couple of bites of
his. It was a waste of money and did not
taste as good as I remembered, I have noticed since my surgery nothing tastes
the same WHICH IS GOOD. There is nothing that I really crave fast food like I did
before the surgery. I don’t think I will be going back to Café Rio
anytime soon. We got home put all the
grocery’s away and of course I had to watch the Bachelorette. I know today I have made some really bad choices in eating out and this goes to show how crazy busy life is and if you don't have anything planned and in your house how easy it is to go right back to where you were. I have planned Breakfast, lunches and dinners for the next 6 days so there are no excuses.
I want to again thank you all for the love and support you have given me. I can't wait to see where I am in another 7 weeks. Love you All!!!!
