Hey Peeps! not so new anymore. Plus my eating is inconsistent. My big goal is to lose as much as I can safely lose by June for my next adventure, a Mediterranean cruise with the family. I have to buy cute (smaller-sized) clothes and do not want to look like the fat girl in all the pictures. I know I probably wont be at my goal weight by then, but I could still be much smaller so my goal is just to lose consistently and really start to exercise more. I cannot stand working out and after being on my feet all day at work, I really dont want to go walking or anything but I am starting to really enjoy yoga so that is better than nothing, right?
Good luck to the peep having surgery! You may actually surprise yourself and lose weight in rehab. Make sure you check and see if there are alternates on the menu. My rehab facility offers sandwiches, salads and soups as an alternative to the heavy meals (like veal parmigiana or pot roast). Being the speech pathologist, I know the menu and the kitchen very well and they are usually very willing to please if they can, but most patients dont know about the alternatives (until their friendly SLP tells them). Also, if they weigh you at rehab, keep in mind your weight might actually go up and down quite a bit due to swelling. Ive read nurses notes where a patient lost 13 lbs in a week just because they were swollen and a lot of it went down.
We'll see if it really happens though!
I didn't gain any weight over the holidays though and I think my metabolism has picked up from the gym time.
Of course! The more, the merrier.
