I am feeling pretty good; clothes are starting to get loose. I was hoping that by now I would be shopping in size's smaller but when everything you wear is stretch material then everything seems to be one size fits all.There are things I am a bit disappointed in like my ability to walk great distances. Unfortunately the surgery didn't fix arthritis but the motivation is definitely there to try and get active. The treadmill is dusted off and I went and bought an exercise ball and DVDs to get going. My goal was to walk my dog everyday, and his first walk will be tonight. I hit the magic 30 this morning (weight loss).
I know I am not eating enough, and I definitely find out pretty hard and quick when I eat something I shouldn't. I mourn the loss of some of my favorites but am embracing some new favorites. Berries and cottage cheese every morning makes my day. For my snack today I had a coconut flavored tofu(surprisingly good).
Water is my other challenge and I have yet been able to drink the 64 ounces. Max so far is about 48 and I know my body is craving the water. I got up half hour early today just to get in 12 ounces before taking off to work.
This time next month I am hoping to have accomplished my goal, report at least 15 days of full water and maybe be off the CPAP. Last goal is to attend the meet and greet. All are attainable and specific, so should be no problem.
