I can't thank the inventors of Muscle Milk Light enough. There are so many flavors. It really makes this liquid thing sooo much easier. In my pantry I have: Cookies and Cream; Dark Chocolate; Banana Cream; Cake Batter; Strawberry Milkshake; Chocolate Mint; Chocolate Peanut Butter. I think if I were limited to Neopolitan flavors I would be much grumpier.
So I decided to cheat today. The entire way home I thought about walking to Iji and getting tuna tartare. I even went online earlier in the day to calculate the calories and fat. One stop before mine on the subway, the train broke down. I sat there for twenty minutes waiting for it to move again. I ended up walking the 3 blocks. Avenue blocks are long! Don't judge. By the time I got home, I just wanted to go upstairs and skipped the tuna.
So that is two kinda awesome things for me. One, I didn't give in despite hours of fantasy and mouthwatering craving. Two, I got off of the subway one stop early and walked. It may not seem like a big deal, but I wouldn't even have considered it a week ago. I would have sat on the train until it moved. 11.8 lbs may seem like a drop in the 150 lb bucket, but it has given me a lot of hope and dedication. I feel fantastic.
Whoo-hoo for skipping the tuna!! And for hoofing it 3 blocks!!
ReplyDelete11.8 lbs is just the beginning, girl. You are kicking ass and taking names!

ReplyDeleteGood job! The Pre-op diet shrinks up your stomach and liver and gives you much less chance for complication... It is hard but what they call a necessary evil... I nominated you for a blog award... Check it out at http://mybigfatbandgeeklife.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-like-you.html
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the weight loss. There's more to come.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I remember the days when I would go out of my way to make sure I didn't take one step more than necessary. I would literally plot my way around parking lots and department stores so that I could take the least amount of steps. So believe me when I say how unbelievably PROUD I am of you for walking those three long blocks!! You rock!!
