Just a quickie.

First let me state that I love my Beavs and will always remain loyal no matter how much they suck.  I have lost 77 lbs to date and several clothing sizes.  Tonight Stefanie and I did some Christmas shopping and I was able to by my first ever Old Navy t-shirt.  My energy levels continue to be very high. I sleep 6-7 hours a day and never seem to run out of gas!!  I have been doing quite a bit of bike riding and or walking.  Last weekend Sarah and I rode the dike trails and had a great time.  It does seem to me that my loss is very slowly slowing down.  In the last 7 days I only lost 3 lbs, by the numbers I should be losing about 1 lb per day.  I can't say that I would be ok with not losing anymore but let me tell you, I feel so much better than I have in many, many, many years.  This losing and not losing or slowing way down is a normal cycle to this process. Some weeks you lose inches not pounds and some weeks you lose nothing. I need to remember that this is not a race. I need to lose 3.4 lbs per week to be at 210 lbs by July 4 or my 9th month post op.  Currently I am way ahead of goal

I had a great Thanksgiving, it was the first that I can remember really being in total control of what I ate.  This year I ate a bite of this and a few bites of that, several bites of turkey and I was done.  I did make some wonderful desserts that were WLS (weight loss surgery) friendly and everyone seemed to enjoy them.

Well until next time.
