I've joined what we're calling Team 10. I've had gastric bypass surgery and originally lost 141 pounds in 1 year. However, with some really stupid and destructive behaviors, I managed to pack on 50 pounds.
Once I had a change in some medication, the incessant snacking went away and I dropped 11 pounds pretty quickly. So, I accepted a challenge on the WLS Support Board that I'm a member of.
10 pounds in 5 weeks.
60 grams of protein minimum - 100 grams optimal a day.
no more than 20 grams of carbs each day.
64 oz of Water.
2-3 protein drinks (helps get that total protein grams up)
and exercise.
I've done really well, I started this last Thursday (2 November) and have dropped 6 pounds in 4 days. I've done some sort of exercise almost every day last week. I walked to and from the church on Thursday to take Rachel to RE...and we did quite a bit of walking on Tuesday for Halloween, I've been to the gym every day since Friday....and even got my behind out of bed this morning at 445 to go.
and to make be feel a little better, I got my hair cut and colored last night. My red was fading quickly and my hair was IMPOSSIBLE to keep styled..I've chopped it all off again.
I'm really looking foward to seeing where I end up at the end of week 5..since I'm more than half way there now..
I'll show that therapist...or maybe me...who doesn't want to be a size 10 again.
stay tuned..
