I haven't had a chance to eat breakfast, but I brought my breakfast bar with me, just in case I have time. Ashlynn and I are in the lobby, waiting to be called back to start the tubes.
The surgery went great!
I finally got home, and decided to eat real breakfast instead of the Breakfast Bar. I had 2 eggs, with onions and mushrooms. I also had another Spark. I remembered my pro-biotic this morning!! Yay me!
I'm having shaved turkey breast, and 3 strawberries for much.
I got in an hour on the elliptical. My stamina was ready to go longer, but my right leg/hip was hurting so badly, it was starting to spasm and give out. I'm really hoping that as the weight falls off, some of this pain will go with it. I don't complain often, and because of that, I don't think the people around me understand just how much activities of daily living really hurt me. I think the constant pain is part of the reason I gained all this weight in the first place. I have always been heavy, but only since I got married and had kids have I been obese like this.
Everyone tells you "push through the pain", or "it won't hurt as much if you would just exercise", and they are so full of it. By the time I get home from the gym, I'm using the walls as a crutch to get around. The nerves in my lower back send distress signals all over my lower body, or at least that's how I'm describing it. If I could get out of pain, the exercise portion of this journey would be so much easier!
Weight loss gets emotional, people. I'm not breaking down or anything, I just decided I wasn't being completely fair leaving out the human aspects of this journey.
Furthermore, I ate beef for the first time since I started my journey tonight. It's not a meat you should eat a lot of, but it was 97% fat free, and once every 9 days is pretty fair moderation. I didn't eat very much, and I added avocado to the ground beef. I had carrots and ice water with lemon, also. Oh, and I took my OmegaPlex.
Another side note: I drink water constantly throughout the day. I don't post it often because I feel like its redundant, but I drink gallons! I stopped making posts every time I take my supplements, drink a Spark, or drink water. Those things are all assumed unless I make a note saying otherwise. When I change programs, like this week I will finish my Herbal Cleanse and begin my MNS Max C, I will post the details for the first couple of days. I feel like I'm cluttering the blog with trivial information, and not the things people need for support on their own weight loss journeys if I post those things all day.
I will post absolutely everything I eat, and everything I drink if it is not water or Spark. I am also trying to give more emotional parts of my day. Losing weight is hard, and there are moments of emotional and psychological distress, feelings of defeat, anger, depression, and every little problem seems so much bigger when you're going through such big changes
We can all do this, and we can do it without surgery!!
Baby tomatoes and almonds for a snack.
Wow! I do NOT like tomatoes enough to have made this a snack.
