Hello everyone!
It is now March and my sick-leave is set to end the 31st of this month. I know my counselor does not feel that I am quite ready to go back and I really am not ready to leave my support system yet so I am hoping they extend it to the June moves which will give me about 3 & 1/2 months to lose the last 25-30lbs that I want to lose. I want to be able to say that I've lost more weight than I weigh. Since my heaviest at 348 I have lost just under 160lbs. Incredible now to think about it but it's true - it shocks me to see old pictures of myself which my counselor says indicates that I am more comfortable with the new me.
My new plan is to try and tweak my food intake a bit and vamp up the cardio exercise. My main trainer Tim has me back doing personal training 5 days a week. Monday mostly cardio with Amanda, Tuesday upper body strength training, Wednesday a boxing workout that is really high intensity cardio, Thursday lower body strength training, & Friday a group training class with Amanda. I'm also doing our cycle class again and starting do do allot more cardio on my own. Tim is letting me try new things and I am enjoying them - this week I did bench press for the first time - rather funny but it was a start. My cravings lately have been oreos and mac and cheese so as long as I don't buy them I should be okay. I do wish they would come up with a magic pill to really burn away about 20lbs of fat but it just doesn't work that way.
I went to the plastic surgeon for a follow up this week - I may have one more thing tightened up - a place on my back - now that i can wear tighter clothes it is the only place that is bothering me but he won't consider it until may because he says it will be that long for my other incisions to be totally healed inside and out. By then I may have built enough muscle that it will fill up the loose skin - we'll see.
I hope everyone is enjoying this time of year as I am. Easter is my favorite holiday because it is Good Friday's sacrifice that gives us all such hope in Easter Sunday's Resurrection. I went out today and bought my first Easter outfit in 13 years - I can't wait to wear it! I do miss some things about worship in The Salvation Army but the uniform is not a thing I miss at all. Enjoy the spring and I will try to get a couple of pictures my dad took loaded onto the computer.
Blessings! Kari
