Nutritionist Consult #4

I seriously can't believe I just had my FOURTH appointment!  Time is flying by yet June seems so far away...

So I brought in two dozen of my "famous" chocolate chip toffee cookies to the bariatric office.  Believe me, I mentioned it last visit and thought it would be inappropriate but they said NO, please bring them, so I did!  And they loved them. LOL

Nurse Jennifer took me back for my weight.  I was heartbroken when the scale read 255.  Honestly I was in shock because that would be 12 pounds higher than last month.

When I got to Ashton's office I just broke down and started crying because honestly I thought I had maintained my weight if not lost a little.  Ashton immediately informed me that they had been having issues with the scale and one lady's weight was as much as 20 lbs. off from what she really was.  So she said if I wanted to, we could reweigh before I left.

We talked about how I did on my goals last month and I confessed that I did not do well at all which is probably why I gained 12 lbs.  I pretty much ate what I wanted to, didn't write down my food, and exercised maybe once on purpose.  So maybe I deserved to gain.  She said that journaling our food doesn't work for everyone so that made me feel better.

We focused on the topic of protein -- she said that after I start to eat real food 8 weeks out, I will need to get at least 80 grams of protein in.  So one of my goals this month is to have protein of some sort with every meal.

My other goals are to try a new healthy recipe at least once a week, have fried foods only twice a week, and to practice separating eating and drinking during breakfast since dinner didn't work out for me so well last month.

I feel more motivated to stick to my goals without the pressure of journaling my food. We'll see I guess!

Sooo it was funny that the entire time I was meeting with Ashton I noticed she couldn't stop looking up at a piece of hair that was sticking straight up from my head and I was staring at the crumb in the corner of her mouth from the cookies of mine she ate right before she came in.  ROFLMAO

Ok anywho, we went back in to the scale room.  I reweighed at 248....a half a pound less than last month!  THANK GOODNESS because I would've been really upset with myself otherwise.

That is all!
