Sometimes transparency just stinks and although I’m definitely making my blog suck by writing this…I need to do it.
Gastric bypass is not a fix-all solution. They tell you that the first day you do it. You still need to work to maintain a healthy lifestyle or the surgery can be overcome. I’m starting to overcome it. At my lowest, I was at 189 but probably was a little too lean for my liking, I’d prefer to be in the 195 range. Today, I weighed in at 214. (ugh) Since the surgery, every pound I gain is like gaining 50 pounds in my head. I beat myself up, I play games and feel like a failure.
Now the good news…twenty pounds isn’t that far away! I know my issue is more of a food thing than an exercise thing so I feel like I can control that more easily and revert back. And lastly, I got my FitBit in the mail today. I’m going to go back to tracking my calories, activity, and now sleep with FitBit in hopes to meet my 1st goal of 199 pounds!
Jenny and I made a list of dealbreakers yesterday while driving the 12 hours back from Angelfire, here they are:
- Exercise at minimum 3x per week (soccer can be included in that)
- Track my food, exercise, sleep everyday!
- No Starbucks except for 1x per week (I have been on an everyday kick for a while)
- No eating after 8pm (I’m a notorious late night snacker)
- Only allowed to eat out 2x per week (Jenny was big on this one)
So there you go, today is a new day. I don’t want to call it a New Year Resolution because those suck and I never adhere to them. This is just a new day and the progress starts now! Wish me luck.
P.S. Now back to the regular techno/business/changing the world program.
