Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

Monday check in. Started puréed foods yesterday. Ok, eating is hard, that must be why you lose so fast. Eating is no fun . I had a scrambled egg for breakfast it felt like a brick sitting in my stomach! Dinner was 2 oz of boiled chicken, 1/2 a boiled carrot and enough stock to make a purée, maybe a half a cup all blended. I shouldn't have finished it, holy cow it hurt! Today I had shakes for breakfast and lunch but more chicken broth and half an avacado puréed. It didn't taste bad but I couldn't eat more than half, maybe 1/3 cup. Avacado fluff is weird. Stopped eating sooner today, less pain. I think my intestines are getting lazy from being empty. General stomach "discomfort" all day. I'm getting my protein so calories don't matter, 450-650 per day for those scoring at home. I'm still pretty upbeat about it but somedays life throws you a curve when you really needed one right down the center.

checking in. I'm stalled. Not losing, and gained a pound. Not sure why.

It's been a rough week. Desserts are hard to pass up. It was my daughters birthday so we ate out and had cake and ice cream. I will have to be more diligent this week.

Whew. . . where do my days go? As soon as I’m ready to catch up, I just can’t find enough time in my day. I miss the daily posts, but just can’t get on every day like I would like. I’ve definitely learned my weekends are my carb days. Monday thru Friday I’m rocking it, but the weekends not so good. I need to change that immediately. I am glad though the scale has finally moved. It took the whole month, but at least it’s moving downward. I just keep taking it one day at a time. Exercise has been great! I’m loving my little gym. It’s not cheap, but I’m going, pushing myself and getting to know folks so it’s been totally worth it to me. My son leaves Thursday for Disney Orlando with his high school choir. I'm kid free for a long weekend. Woo Hoo!!! A "little" guy time Friday night, which hardly ever happens plus cleaning house and may squeeze in a massage too. Can't wait!!!!

@campfire – I’m behind on my posts, but whether it was a wig or not you looked FABULOUS!! I’ve never been a fan of costume parties, but maybe I’ll feel more comfortable in my skin one of these days and get out of my comfort zone.

@naceto – You had just started seeing the online guy. I’m so happy for you!! I’m hoping one of these days that happens to me, but it’s been two years and no luck whatsoever. I’ve been friends with one guy for over a year, but a “little” too much to share in this setting. I like him a lot and he seems to care about me, but a few hiccups in our way. I guess time will tell. Since we’re not exclusive, I’m still trying to date around. Like my BF told me, it’s like finding the perfect shoe. You have to try on a LOT of shoes to find just the right fit. LOL!!! I guess we both have giants in our boys. Cyrus is doing football. He’s too slow for basketball. He’s still 14 and 6’5”, 275 lbs with a size 18 shoe. It’s been crazy!!!!

@Nikion – Do you like eggplant? I’ve used that in place of noodles. Plus, I have this noodle less lasagna that I make so it’s carb friendly. I really don’t miss the noodles at all.

@pneschich – I’m 4 months post op and I tell you the mental games are real. I’ve accepted I don’t need food for stress, boredom, anxiety, etc. . it’s just fuel my body needs to survive and it needs the right fuel. You’ll be tired for awhile. Your body is still healing. For a solid 30+ days after surgery, I had to take it very slow. Listen to your body. Also, with any weight loss journey, you will be hitting stalls, plateaus, etc. . . I seem to be in a pattern (probably because of female crap, which you don’t have to deal with), but I don’t lose for 3-4 weeks than lose big in one week. It’s like my body holds onto it as tight as possible and then lets go. I really thought with my high intensity workouts I would see a steady loss, but that’s not how it’s coming off. The important thing is it's coming off. Slowly, but surely.

@gullgar – A dolphin’s brain? LOL!!! I’ve lost 7 aluminum step ladders. Holy she she!!!

@MyMowMow – So glad we reconnected. Can’t wait to keep chatting!!! A lot of new faces, but the group is still supporting the same which is great!

@Happygirl – If I know I’m going out, I have gotten really good about checking out their menu online first. I read somewhere that you should always be the first one to order and don’t change!! Most people once they hear what others order will often change their order. If I go with my first instinct, I normally make the healthier choice. It’s one meal and all behind you.

On vacation this week in Amish country! Fry pies,,, shoo fly pies,,, fried mush..... I could go on and on!!! This is gonna be HARD!!!

@mnwalkingqueen its an easy thing to put on weight eating out all the time. I use to go out for most meal and I didnt lose a son. Good for you for taking the reins back. You cook it, you control it! Find things you think are delicious and you like to make. See if you can make them healthier. Add vegetables. Add whole grains. Use less sugar and fat. Way to go on hitting the books again too! Not an easy thing to do!
