I really need a tape measure. Plus I really need to update this more. So I’m finishing up week 6 and feeling good, Mr. Wint! Quick, name what movie that’s from? ‘Diamonds are Forever’ – need to be quicker.
It’s been a while with many different types of developments. I’ve been experiencing some hellacious pain near the spot where my drain and ‘stitch’ (don’t ask me, but it was the depressed portion of my stomach that my surgeon said would pop out and it has). With my jumping right into lifting stuff again at about 4 weeks, I managed to hurt myself but GOOD. I twisted and bent down (which is not lifting, mind you) and I thought I was going to die. I couldn’t stand up straight, couldn’t take deep breaths, felt like Jack the Ripper was following me around, gutting me for the helluva it, and finally I was so freaked out that I thought I had a hernia, that I called my parents and damn near cried. My father reassured me and said they would be down that next day to watch the kids if I wanted to go to the hospital and lo’ and behold…I felt better after talking to my parents.
Was it real or my MIND POWERS. I’m going with the latter because the former isn’t as neat.
So the pain has finally gone away. Yeah! Experienced one of the unpleasant side affects of eating greasy and sugary foods (had a couple bites of pizza, I think). Took the kids to the movies and had the most painful…uh…bathroom moments. Lasted for like a half hour, woof. Had it again later that night – waking up at 2am. That is horrible at 2am, let me tell you =/ But that passed, too…thank god. Other than that, I had a post surgery nutrition class and that went well. Apparently I’m the only person suffering hunger pains like crazy – with this kind of luck, I should have won the lottery already =/
In any case, I’ve been walking since my weight completely plateaued. I was stuck at 211 for about 2 weeks so I upped my walking and managed to get to 2.6 miles in 1 hour. Go me! The dog is pretty durn tired after the walk though. I felt bad hehe. But the walking helped me take another 3lbs off and then the kids went on Spring Break this week. I got some walking shoes though and plan to pick it up mon/tues/thurs/fri, trying to get up to 3 miles, circling base housing. The pounds might not be coming off, but the inches are LIKE CRAZY. Half my wardrobe has opened up to me! Clothes from pre-David are LOOSE. I LOVE IT. I went from squeezing my ass into an 18 and refusing to buy size 20’s when I really needed to to size 16’s being loose fitting. I’m kinda excited! I can button up old shirts that I haven’t been able to button since 2006 and I feel GREAT. I’ll post pictures eventually, but I still kinda don’t see it in my face, but some of my friends do though.
However, I’ll keep updating this more often. Maybe with my daily meals (back to normal food, except junk food – still can’t and won’t stomach that crap), my daily walks, some pictures, and my uber deep thoughts. Thanks for keeping tuned in =)
