15 pounds!! I have lost 15 pounds!! I can't believe it!! I have now officially lost all of my baby weight (it only took 3.5 years!!), and I am now thinner than when Keith and I started dating! It's crazy! Today is the first day that I feel like I actually have some energy, so my house is actually getting cleaned!! I am finding that my body is now getting used to the caloric loss, and I am starting to feel really good! I am sleeping better I am happier I am just feeling great! I have more patience, I am less grumpy and life is good!! After the 2nd day of fasting, I was seriously ready to giv eup and quit. But then I realized that I am losing weight, and in doing that, I am saving my own life and getting my life back! It's been such a hard road (I totally just wrote hard toad) to get here, but now that I am here and the end is in sight, I am so excited about getting my surgery and starting the next step in this journey! It has been so much hard work and sacrifice, but every single morsel of food that I've passed up is completely worth it and I would do it again in a heartbeat! At almost a week in, there are definitely things that I am missing, like popcorn. A friend asked me to go to a movie this weekend, and I had to pass because I'm not sure I could handle the popcorn aroma!!! Eventually, after I have my first fill (having fluid added to my band), I'm sure that I will be able to re-introduce air-popped popcorn. But for now, I"m good with just veggies! Although, I DO miss having a sauce or dressing for my veg! There is only so much stir-fry I can handle, and I am already done with it! So raw veggies it is, and hopefully I will figure out a yummy drizzle to put on top!!
So that's what's new with us today! I'll keep you posted!
Love J
