Well, I have been making good progress. I don't think I could do it without the Daily Burn Tracker, if you have an iphone, ipad, or ipod and are trying to lose weight, it is definitely worth looking into.
I have lost 20 lbs in less than a month. This has caused me to reconsider geting the surgery. At this point, I am continuing with the doctor's appointments, however if I am still making 20 lbs a month progress and if we are unable to get clearance from my insurance before mid December (which is not very likely anyway) I will take it as my sign that I should not get this surgery.
I mean really. I could lose 100 lbs by the end of December on my own. One hundred lbs down and being in a routine, makes another 100 lbs a not so unobtainable dream.
This would save me money, then I could have a bit of pride because I can say I did it without the surgery.. I'm a Leo, this sounds good to me. It also would mean that I wouldn't have to cut out my carbonated water. This sounds VERY good to me.
The main reason behind this sudden shift is the fact that the new birth control I started less than a month ago already gave me 5 full days without any sign of cycle. I am getting crazy cramps but 5 days.. It is a start. I will give this another 2 months, see if it will help the cycle issue, if it does, I really do not see the point in getting the surgery. Especially when I am losing weight pretty well on my own.
We shall see..
I will say that I have found a goodie that is on the verge of being something bad.. Ben and Jerry's now has greek frozen yogurt and it is FABULOUS. 1/4 of the pint is a serving and it is very hard to stop at that, but I slipped and had more than I should, which caused me to have to miss supper to stay within my 1200 calories, so I have learned to have it in the evening, after all other calories are has so that I may keep myself under better control.
I also discovered laughing cow's garlic and herb cheese. I do not care for swiss cheese unless it is on a rueben sandwich, however this is terribly delightful and only 35 calories.
So... I am enjoying my diet and still losing weight.
Not to sound like Martha Stewart, but this is a good thing.
