Happy Monday

Monday Weigh In - 257.8

I had been starting to really worry about my big stall in December.  However, I took stock, thought about my food, my activity, my sleep, my water intake - and decided that I would not have a full blown panic about it. I would simply make a few adjustments back towards the direction that I should and bingo. Payoff.

Today I didn't want to eat my tuna for lunch, but... I did, because now I am full and can't imagine putting anything else in there, protein - its whats good for ya!

"The weight will come off" was my mantra every morning I got on the scale, even though it didn't move much at all. After my little changes, the last few days have been glorious. 

Weigh dropping on the scale is the result of persistence, good eating, water and effort over the last few weeks. NOT giving up. Not eating poorly because I'm not losing anyway so why bother.  All good lessons to file into the brain bank and remember for the end of the month, when this will surely happen again.

I kept on it, and I have been happily rewarded for my perseverance and persistence. 

Happy Monday!

Bloated!

ug.  got my pre-period bloat on.  Forgot that was coming. Up on the scale this morning.

Weigh In: 265.2

Good water intake today and food is good.   Food has been okay - I had lunch with our accountant as we have some rather complicated tax issues coming up this year.  I had an appy of lamb/potato croquettes.  Very nice and really... that was enough to fill me up. Still feels awesome to get that off of an appy sized meal.

I can't wait to be done at the office today, get home, eat some dinner, watch Walking Dead, and go to bed. The dog is going to get a short walk tonight.

I slept well last night, but I need another one to really catch up.

Did some icing last night and today. Groin is getting better again, I just have to remember to not push it over the weekend.

Another unexciting post, but hey... thats life! :)

Healing

My laparoscopic incisions are healing well (all five of them) and I can judge my healing progress on how I'm sleeping.

I'm a side sleeper ... I hate sleeping on my back, which is really the only option post surgery swelling & incisions! Last night I managed to get in some sleeping on both my right and left sides! YAY! I did spend most of the night on my back, but it was so nice to get side time! No pain anymore, just a little discomfort - mostly in the belly button incision. However, Totally Manageable!

Hurray for healing progress! Right after surgery it felt like that swelling was never going to go away!!! Phew!
