I had my two year appointment with my nutritionist & doctor's PA Margie on Friday!
I was dreading this appointment because I knew I had gained 10 pounds recently. Well, it was exactly 10 lbs. since my last visit with the office.
Ashton was so compassionate and non-judgmental. I really appreciate her, but sometimes I feel like she could be a little tougher on me and that would help out a lot. However, after talking with her, I feel like I am on the right track to rewind the scale and get back on track to my goal weight.
I am still wearing size 10s but really should be back in 12s. It's crazy how much of a difference 10 lbs gained makes NOW than it did when I was at my highest weight of 250.
I miss feeling super sexy and "at my best" really even though some people have said they didn't notice the weight gain (how sweet)... but they're not the ones looking in the mirror every morning and feeling the extra tightness in work pants I wear twice a week that used to be almost a bit too big.
So the office renewed my script for phentermine (thank god)... I am going to try a full pill daily for 30 days and I really think it'll do the trick. My first dose was yesterday morning and by 9:15 AM I felt so alert and awake and ready to take on the day! I also noticed the decreased appetite for sure.
I did pretty well on my protein (about 75g) but I know it needs to be higher and I MUST must watch the quality of food I am eating. On the way out to a concert last night, we stopped at Wendy's and split a junior bacon cheeseburger and small fries... it "hit the spot" so to speak but I was hungry again in a couple hours.
I just ordered two more big jugs of protein powder, 2 boxes of Muscle Pharm protein bars (those are the SHIT) and have 40 four-packs of Premier Protein shakes on order at Walgreens that I'll be able to purchase at a discount and with coupons for just $2.10 per four pack, or just $.53 each. They are normally $9.99 ($2.50 each) at Walgreens, so this is a killer deal.
What I'm struggling with is getting exercise in. I hate that it is so damn hot outside and inside, although there is air conditioning, there are dogs and cats everywhere! And I don't love the gym.
But I am making excuses, I know.

Long Time No See
I can't believe it's been 5 months since I've last updated this blog!
After August I really got off track and didn't follow the "rules", so basically I got stuck on purpose and ate mostly what I wanted to, but I stayed in the low- to mid-180s.
After the new year, I knew I had to get to goal in 2016, so I am back on track and concentrating on my protein, water, but especially my exercising -- mostly walking!
As of yesterday, I'm 179.8 lbs. and I was able to wear a size 8 pair of jeans to work (comfortably!) and felt GREAT!
Last weekend I actually purchased a size 6 (GASP!) jeans because I tried them on in a size 10 and LOVED them so much, I couldn't find a size 8 to buy, but they had the 6, so I said "what the hell!" I may as well buy them - you never know!
Well, as I do with most things I buy that don't fit me yet, I have to try it on to feel/see how it fits and what's crazy is that I was able to pull them right on and zip them up!!!!! Maybe they're mislabeled? LOL.
Today is going to be a fun day for me -- I am getting some boudoir photographs taken! I would have NEVER felt comfortable enough to wear skimpy clothes in a photo at 250 lbs!
Mark my words -- I will hit my goal this year of 150-160 lbs. Yay!

Update
So it's been a couple months. I have made it down to 179.2 but then vacation happened and I ate donuts (and then breakfast) every morning. LOL.... so I put on a few pounds and trying to get it back off, but I haven't weighed daily like I normally do. I think my last weight was 182 this morning.
I'm trying to not be obsessed, but more about the fit of my clothes. I am getting more and more out of 12s and those size 31 Miss Me jeans I bought like two years ago -- I finally wore them to work last Friday! I probably should've waited a "few more pounds" lost to wear them, but whatever.
