Dec. 7, 2014 –
It's been a long time since my last post. I've decided to use my blog as a forum for journalling my progress as I lose pounds. Today I began measuring my food in earnest, 7
weeks after my gastric bypass surgery. I found today that I had lost enough
weight and inches to fit into this cool pair of olive green khakis I got over a
year ago along with a neat fleece vest I got at the same time. I’m really happy
about it and I want to lose more! And faster!
I have been used to eyeballing my measurements but I’ve made
some mistakes as to how much I can use in terms of chicken and vegetables. I’ve
steered almost completely clear of bread (except tortillas) and I need to up my
intake of fruit and yogurt. All in all, I’m doing ok, I have more energy and I
feel lighter when I walk. I have exercised some, but not enough. I need to
discipline myself to lift and walk more often. Gotta get in shape for riding my
bike in the summer. Maybe I can get my arse up and go down to the church to
play some basketball and/or do some sword kata in the mornings, early or
late...
Anyway, starting today, I’m going to couple this periodic
journal with a daily journal of my food intake. That way I will have accountability
and something to show Nancy and Dr. Jules at the Guelph Bariatric Clinic! And I'll continue my theological musings and discoveries as I had done before on here. SO for those of you who had subscribed...I'm back!
