Busy Bee

What a weekend! If the 3.5 hr work out on Saturday wasn't enough to wear me out, the home improvement project did the trick! I had no idea that replacing a vanity in a bathroom was such a project. Thank goodness for the Darce. She handled the whole project. I just did the painting. I have included some pictures, but I don't think they do it justice.

I'm very pleased with the end result.

I am continuing my plateau at 49.whatever lbs down. Yesterday I ate steak. It was delicious. I can only eat 2-3 oz per meal, but that is just right! I know several people have had trouble eating steak after the lap band, but so far so good for me.

Today I am going to just drink low-cal/low-fat protein drinks for a day to see if changing up my routine will help me over my plateau. I know it's only been a few days since I have lost anything, but I wouldn't even be checking every day if it weren't for the fact that I just want to hit the big FIVE OH!, and then I can weight myself weekly. Tomorrow, I meet with the nutritionist again, so perhaps she will have some guidance.

She will probably tell me that after having a big loss, such as 14 lbs in one week, it is very common for the body to not lose the following week. Little does she know, I prefer to be uncommon.

My energy level increases with every day. I feel fantastic. There are no residual affects of surgery at this point, except for the fact that I don't have quite as much energy for working out. I am still rebuilding my strength, but it is coming.

I am finding that I have more time and money, and the D and I are thinking of joining a women's chorus group in Portsmouth. We will be attending our first practice this Wednesday night to see if it is for us. I'm looking forward to it!

Enjoy your Monday!
