Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / February 2005OT: I Feel Wonderful...Just Checkin' In
I'm walking a mile a day!!! A mile day!!! Im the girl who was riding the buggies in Wallies last month!!!! HOLY sh.t!!! Who wooda thunk it??????? Im down 26 pounds in 15 days(postop) for a total of 38 freakin' pounds this past month. It has made all the difference in the world!!! I bought my first pair of lace up shoes in 10 years! DH met me for my walk today and took me to lunch. I would have had the broth from the soup of the day but it was chowder and gruel? Some cream soup with mushrooms whirled in it and big chunks of portobello and tender beef. DH had salad bar, I had nice company, air, and water LOL!!!! I came home and ate the puredd refried beans everyone in the WLS newsgroup raves about. OMG its good with a pinch of cheddar on top!!!!! Im still trying to get back into my bed but my belly is a tad bit tender yet and cant withstand the way I sleep yet. Im a tummy sleeper. Life is good. I have been able to up my water to about 5 ounces a day now. Water generally runs right out of my pouch but sometimes the cold stuff makes my pouch contract and it hurts a bit, kinda like a bad gas cramp. As soon as I load my pouch each drink kind of equalizes the discomfort and I'm ok. Warm water is putrid LOL I have not felt this good in years. Im almost euphoric. I want to shout off the rooftops IM ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/freakinlunachick/album?.dir=/90dd&.src=ph&.tok=phh J9gCBLmL1VUob OK, read the stats... : ) TTFN, Laureen 410/372 OOOPS I meant 50 ounces ROFL!!!!

Snip This made me grin out loud (if you catch my meaning). It's a wonderful feeling when you start being able to do things that take you back in time like that. When was the last time you could walk a mile? A month from now even that'll probably seem like child's play. Enjoy every minute of that exercise. You deserve it. ;-) Take care, Carmen  SignaturePlease note change in Reply To address carmensrt <at> gmail <dot> com Hotmail isn't working and is being abandoned You know I hated walking. It hurt so bad. My muscles in my lower back got so tight and my butt muscles hurt. I panted. Awful. Funny thing a mere small amount of weight off me has made a B I G difference. I have a bit of a limp because my knee bothers me but I try to shut it out and walk anyway. I was actually talking and walking to Larry this afternoon. OMG!!!! I know the best is yet to come but I just feel like LIFE has been breathed into me again!!!!!! The place I walk is The Waterfront Trail at the waters edge downtown. It is a nice wide flat paved surface that encompasses the whole waterfront for miles. I walk until I am tired one way which is 1/2 mile and I touch the one light pole and turn around and come back. I can see Mt Baker, Victoria BC, Ediz Hook, The HUGE freighters anchored up, The Black Ball Ferry coming and going from Canada,and the inlet of the Strait of Juan De Fuca. The noisy seagulls fly over head, and people pass me coming and going and actually say "Hello". Its generally a windy but sunny walk. I have thoroughly enjoyed myself.

One thing I loved about quitting smoking and now about losing weight is the big differences you see in the things you can do. ----- 285.5/260/120 monthly-goal: 8 month-start: 265.5 Just think if you'd started eating less a long time ago, where you'd be now.
