I'm sure it has something to do with hormones. I had a hysterectomy 5 years ago, so no fear of pregnancy, lol. Pav, it's definitely not deliberate. I love eggs, and they're a quick and easy way to meet my needs. I'll be sad if this persists. I'm going to try them different ways.

I'm feeling good. I have a couple armpit cysts right now, one is draining so I skipped the gym monday cause, gross. I saw the urgent care Tuesday morning for antibiotics and they didn't get them sent into my pharmacy in a timely manner so I won't start them til this evening, which is super annoying, but what can you do.…

Monday, March 25th(19 weeks post sleeve): 252.4lbs. Down 74 in that time frame. Down 112 total since August 29th.

I literally just started at the gym 3 weeks ago and I only use machines (I'm not ready for free weights). I literally go to the gym 3 days a week and pick 4 machines that let me hit back, shoulders, bis and tris, and chest, then I do adductor, abductor, leg press and if I'm feeling froggy, leg extension (I feel like the…

I had mine on November 13th. My initial recovery was extremely smooth, I was able to be active (walking 10k steps per day) within 3 days of surgery. I didn't really have too much pain either. I lost from 364.4 to 326.4 preop (my physician wanted me to lose at least 30 preop). I am down to 256.4 right now. Despite some…

Slept til 12:30. Spent 1:15 at the gym on the weights and 45 min on the treadmill at home (yeah, we bought a treadmill). Having a meal (lemon yogurt and raspberries) before a shower. I have work at 7:30.

That's actually one of my favorite things. Flying in January, and even more so in March, and not needing the extender and not feeling (March mostly) like I am encroaching on my seat mates. I can feel in in my car too. I may have to adjust my seat in the near future because the loss of weight from my *kitten* has me sitting…

Yeah, 108lbs down. If I can maintain my current rate of loss (not unreasonable) I should be under 235 by my 6month surgery follow-up

Today's weight: 256.4 At my current rate of loss, I'm about 3 weeks from being sub 250.

I went to the gym. I did 4 upper body machines, 3 legs, 2 abs and the walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes.

Tonight is dry-brined garlic pork tenderloin (making 2 for the 3 of us, because I like the leftovers cold for work lunches and my grown son will eat leftover pork as well). Adding air-fryer roaster potatoes.

I like how the zucchini mostly disappears into the dish when it's very finely shredded.

Lasagna soup, but with finely shredded zucchini instead of noodle.

So my old old scrubs that I could squeeze into like a sausage were size 3x and my "new" scrubs (bought in August) were size 4x. Today I went shopping for scrubs and the brand I was 4x in, the 2x was just a hair big. I ended up in a different brand in 1x women's pants and 2x men's top (I prefer the men's tops because my…

I'm off the Buffalo today. My daughter who plays college hockey up there and I are doing a hockey weekend. Her season is over, but we're going to attend a professional women's hockey game tomorrow night in Toronto, and then the NHL we cheer for (Edmonton Oilers) is in Buffalo for an afternoon game on Saturday. Then I fly…

I also weight daily and use Libra. I like seeing the strands and fluctuations.

My youngest takes Vyvanse for her ADHD and is going to be talking to her pychiatrist about changing it because it makes her forget to eat. She is a freshman college student, so loads of walking, so she really has to make sure she is eating enough.

261.6 today. And I'm so sore from starting with the weights that I may have some water weight masking, lol

I grew up drinking strong brewed black tea with milk. My mom took it that way, from her grandmother (nanny) who immigrated from England. I've been drinking it at night at work (albeit decaf). Decaf Tea is way better than decaf coffee BTW. On a related note (maybe), I've not had caffeine in nearly 4 months and I don't find…

So Friday I went to the gym and hit the weights! I'm a little sore today, but good sore, not debilitating sore. Then I had coffee and a chat for a couple hours with a friend while my car horn was made to work by the dealership. I also agreed to pick up a shift today on my old unit at work for incentive (plus I hit overtime…

I picked up a shift today last minute, so last night I grabbed a Rotisserie chicken for use for dinner. Packed a cute as heck little quesadilla for my dinner at work. A street taco size low-carb soft Tortilla, 21g lite shredded cheddar and 40g diced Rotisserie chicken breast, no skin, mixed with half a tablespoon medium…

Finished my work week at 8am this morning. Came home and slept from 9-3. Already hit my 10k step minimum for the day. Relaxing in the hot tub right now, probably play our favorite card game with my husband later.

264.4 today. 100lbs down since August 29th, only 100 more to go, lol

LOL. I have plans to go look for new scrubs soon.

Today: 1 egg, 1 egg white. Made an omelet with the help of a small bit on non Stick Spray, and half a slice of 2% deli deluxe American cheese. Lemon-berry blizzard protein drink. Two good lemon yogurt. Beef stew. Fairlife chocolate protein milk.

The beauty of scrubs is... Drawstrings!

Meal prep today: beef stew. Chuck roast, well-trimmed and cut into small cubes, seasoned and seared. Added celery, mushrooms, carrots and turnips and 2 cups of beef bone broth. Garlic and onion powders, salt and pepper. Let It simmer for a good while, then added half a "beef stew" packet, mostly for thickening, and let it…

I am taking a rest day today. Fewer steps, some meal prep, soaking in the hot tub (I did the hot tub yesterday too, lol), just chilling a bit.

I signed up for the gym today. I need to start resistance training to maintain my muscle mass,or at least prevent as much loss as feasible. Plan to start with machines but eventually move to free weights.

Today, cottage cheese with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder. Fage 2% Greek Yogurt cup with half a scoop of protein powder and 30g frozen(thawed) mixed berries
