Doesn't this look good. It's my lunch. Fresh peaches bought at a roadside stand, with vanilla yogurt and granola on the top for a bit of crunch. Sniff sniff I am officially TRYING to loose my chemo weight. Well I guess I can't call it chemo weight I started to gain right after my mastectomy surgery. My thought was if I have to have such a difficult surgery and have to go through having breast cancer I deserve to eat what I want. WRONG! Well maybe not wrong, I feel entitled to the ice cream and fattening things I ate. Life is too short not to eat what you want when you want right? Well I have gotten to the point in all of this madness that I need to be able to wear my old clothes again. Not just the ones I bought because nothing fit me. For people who do not know me in person I am only 5 feet tall give or take (I am really shorter but prefer not to admit it). My frame does not handle weight gain very well. There is nowhere to hide 10 pounds when you are as vertically challenged as I am. So I am starting a diet and exercise program. Walking mostly I am totally not into strenuous activities! I was once an agile athlete lettering in four sports. One being gymnastics. Let me tell you I am not planning on ever flipping again or even cart wheeling which I could totally do before my surgery. If I would have known what I know now I would have done a bunch of them so I could savor the feeling. But hindsight is 20/20 is it not. Back to the diet program, I am not good at it. I will try though. My sister in law suggested that if I post about it I will actually have to do it, so MSD here I go I am starting and will post every week how much I have lost, Or not lost. Hopefully posting about it will give me a the kick in the pants that I need!
I also want to put a shout out to my niece Goosie. She had her tonsils out today and I am feelin her pain! Hope you get some good ice cream Goosie!
Posting is a great idea. Maybe it will motivate the rest of us to join in a lose those extra points. Thanks for the inspiration. I find it's much easier to lose weight when the kids are in school. Less temptation with all of the stuff they like to eat.
