Yesterday I made it one month! I have lost 28 lbs and a whole lot of inches. As of yesterday, I am now able to eat most anything except breads/refined sugar. I am SOOOO craving beef--ground beef, a hamburger patty, carne asada. Just thinking of it makes my mouth water. (This craving is weird for me since I RARELY ate beef prior to surgery. I mostly only ate turkey and chicken.) Today for lunch I had ground beef in spaghetti sauce with a tiny dash of cheese on top. It was delicious and I feel so full and satisfied from my 1/3 cup portion. Now I need to focus on getting my water in.
I am still only walking for exercise. By the time I finish my walk, I am exhausted. I am hoping that after this week, with my added protein, I will be able to start some resistance training and that I'll have more energy.
Overall, I feel great and am so glad I made the decision to have have surgery. This month has flown by and I am looking forward to another month going by....along with lots of pounds of fat leaving my body. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for being with me on this journey, for Your hand of protection over me and for loving me just as I am.
Love, Peace and Joy,
Rachel
