So apparently my motivation to post more is not as great as I thought it was. Things are still going slowly but surely. I mean I am now at the 1 year point and where do I find myself? Not where I thought I would be, but my hopes were unrealistic. That's why they are hopes I guess. I really wanted to have lost 100 lbs by now. I think I still sit at roughly 65lbs. I did take some updated pictures a couple of weeks ago, and would like to share them with you. This is me a year ago (October 24, 2010) and me a year later (October 25, 2011). Things have definately changed, but not as much as I hoped.
I saw my doctor last Thursday and he is still happy with my progress. As always he wants me to incorporate exercise into my routine. This is as always my biggest challenge. The hubby and I have discussed it and I think we are going to get a treadmill as our mutual christmas present. Is that sad? I am not sure at this point in time. I also think that I have finally reached the point where I need an adjustment. I have not had one since March of this year. It took me quite some time to adapt to that last adjustment, however I find myself actually feeling hunger, and my capacity to eat has increased. Hell, I can eat bread without too much difficulty for the first time since March! We discussed it, and as I told him, I think I am ready for an adjustment however I am heading off to New York City at the beginning of December and I don't want to be struggling to adapt to the new adjustment.
I know that I had mentioned in my last post that I suspected that I was lactose intolerant and I was working on incorporating that dietary restriction into my habits. But as it turns out, I am not! YAY! I do however have gallstones. Treatment has not yet been discussed as I just had my ultrasound and the results have not yet been relayed to my family MD. Update to come. I am still trying to maintain a dairy reduced diet, but I am not dairy free. Thank god.
I think that's it for now. As always, if you have specific questions you would like to ask, please just drop me a line.
Word.
