As of today's date I'm 186 lbs and a comfortable size 16. Hope to post an updated pic soon.
Made it through Christmas and New Year without anything major. Enjoyed all the goodies and meals and gained two pounds. Considering the amount of crap I ate, I would have thought I'd gain more. Thankfully my little pouch keeps me in check.
The past month has seen me lose A LOT of hair - thinning so much that it's noticeable to anyone who touches it. It, and the dry skin, seem to be abating so let's hope this is it. Not sure how much more I can lose before I'll buy a wig; I don't want to have bald spots showing. Crossing my fingers I've got the protein up enough now.
Speaking of protein, I've heard that 20g per meal is ideal with 20g drink twice a day. I'm still not up to that, but hope to get better. This morning I had an egg (6.3g) and a protein drink (20g). Plan on having some chinese food at lunch (15g) then an afternoon drink (20g). Likely chicken (20g?) but that remains to be seen. So that would make a total of 81.3g or 61.3 without the chicken. Both are very good numbers. Last month I was struggling to consistently get in 40g, with many days being below that. The body is good at showing us what it needs, that's for sure.
My challenge is exercise. I have a treadmill and a Zumba game for Wii, but I just can't get my ass off this chair - or procrastinating when I am off the chair - which isn't doing me any favours. It hasn't helped me lose any weight, but I've sure had my legs and calves shrink, which I know is muscle. Any ideas for getting motivated other than the obvious?
So that's the story so far. Maybe I'll be able to update this blog more than every three months too. :)
