I am taking a day off from the gym. My right arm is so sore!!! I did a half hour on the treadmill yesterday and tomorrow I will do a full work out. I'm so behind in my job search stuff that I'm going to have to take the entire day today just to catch up.
Had an appointment at the surgeon's office yesterday. According to their scale, with my clothes on, I weigh about 201. The doctor said that in reality it is about 198 with all the clothes off. That pleases me and confirms that my bathroom scale is close to accurate. I am getting enough protein and they are happy that I've joined the gym. I was sure I was going to get yelled at for not having lost enough. I didn't think I was on track at all, but the surgeon's nurse said that I'm running average. So she is pleased with my progress. My next appointment isn't until the February 9 and I have to have blood work done for that one. This of course means that I must take my prescrips and my vitamins on a much more regular basis. I have a hard time taking them because a handful of pills for me is an entire meal. I've tried separating them out into smaller amounts throughout the day but I still find it difficult. They usually upset my poor tummy. The nurse suggested that I try Flintstones Chewable multi-vitamins since the one I'm taking is so huge. I'd just need to chew 2 instead of the 1 you'd give a child. That's cool with me. Anyway, things are progressing just as they should and I can't wait to get to the goal weight.
125 - 130 here I come!!!
