Today's weight: 220.2
-1.6 lb loss
-40.8 lbs loss since surgery
-60.8 lb loss overall (MyFitnessPal thoughtfully rounds up)
I've never done a weigh-in photo! Which is kind of strange, considering I love to show off a fresh pedicure. But, after seeing the camera phone, reflective scale, bad lighting combo, I probably won't be doing a lot of them.
I could have done better this week, but all that wine and slider foods really worked against me. I forgot to tell y'all about my NP's advice the other day. When I was complaining about turning to chips and cookies while the band was too tight for anything else, she suggested upping my water intake. "Because water will calm the sugar cravings." Which is... just adorable. MERE WATER IS NO MATCH FOR MY SWEET TOOTH. Ahem, sorry. My sweet tooth is shouty and rude.
I agree, water has absolutely no effect on sugar cravings, except to help wash those slider foods right on through the band. Congrats on the loss!
ReplyDeleteThanks Connie! And yeah, if water took care of those cravings, I probably wouldn't be where I am now.
DeleteOh, bless your NP's sweet little heart. Let me guess, skinny girl? Ya, water is no match for my MONSTER cravings.
ReplyDeleteShe IS a skinny girl! However did you guess? HA.
DeleteOh congratulations! YAY for losses! and that is HILARIOUS about the water checking the sugar cravings... there is nothing that will calm a sugar craving... not even a sugar craving most times!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you have another awesome week!!!
Thanks Harli!
DeleteWe have the same scale! Not sure why I felt the need to comment about that... :)
ReplyDeleteLet me know if next time your NP suggests the stairmaster as a solution for pizza cravings
Ha! I'm afraid of what she'd say. My dirty secret is that I do still eat pizza. Just a whole lot less of it, and always the thin crust. And I dutifully enter it into MyFitnessPal.
