So I lost 2.4 lbs last week, I weigh-in tomorrow but don't expect too much more than that this week either. Not able to swim every night really puts a hamper on things and now - since I've increased my walking to offset not swimming - my hip bursa, mostly on the right, are swollen and painful. Treatment? Rest. lol! OF COURSE! lol! Of course it's rest. lol! Which I am not doing. I am still walking but icing and taking ibuprofen for the swelling/pain.
Just funny that this happens now. of course!!
Anyway, that's the story, nothing much, just doing my shakes, my walking and getting the thing DONE! lol!
I've had lots of great responses now that I've told most of my close family and friends. Of course. I expected they would all be so happy, relieved and excited. It's been great but I really needed to wait until I knew I could really do this.
I've started trying to retrain my brain a little. When I get that starving feeling, the kind where a shake just won't take the edge off, I search healthy meals, salads, dishes and look at them, read the instructions, etc. I'm trying to train my brain to crave those things so that when I can eat food again and I get hungry, I want the citrus salad or the grilled fish with fresh herbs and garden salad with oil and vinegar.
Who knows if this trick works, but I'm trying everything I can to change my life.
Alright 0 Readers, I will check back in over the next few days. Again, since not much going on except doing the hard, repetitive, daily work, I won't be posting as much. I imagine when I'm in a much closer striking distance to my goal, when I can start shopping for clothes, when I can really see the end, I will post much more. Or when I hit the inevitable plateau and want to scream with frustration and anger. lol!
