Sunday Weigh In (8/13/2017)

I am a little behind on the posting this week

LW-225
TW- 223

Had my 6 week follow up early last week and things look good. I am finding the ability to tolerate a little more, tapering down the PPI (and tolerating) and trying to get more active. Still need to be creative in my protein intake to get that up- outside of powders or shakes.

Good going.

Late to the party! No change for me this week.

Taking a mental health day tomorrow after working all weekend for a big deadline that was pulled at the 11th hour, so looking forward to a cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner!

How's the job hunt going? Being stressed can add weight.

I have applied to work for Home Health but only part time. they seem like a good employer and yet I am pretty sure I will hate the job.

I don't know what I'm doing: SNF work is what I know and I miss it so should I relocate again for that? I dread moving but it might be the best answer and I don't have roots here, anyway.

so, yes - I am stressed and have been "dealing" with it poorly, at least up til this week. this week I am doing better including, not kidding here, avoiding facebook.

a facebook fast! seriously!

No change is normal on the way to your goal. I hope you ate while working.

You will find something. In the meantime try to find something to do besides eat to handle the stress.

You are sooooo skinny. You look so good!!!!

So, I saw your BMI now is 24 hooray!. Mind me asking how long it to you to get there. Aug 19th is one year fo or me and I'm at a 26, but I want to get down to a 24 too. I started out at 47 BMI, so a little bigger. But did you still loose after your first year?

Come back to San Franisco, we can clothes shopping together. Seriously, I'd love to see you again.

Thank you! I'd love to come back, but I've also said I'm not spending my tourist dollars in the US under Trump.

Here's my weight loss expressed as BMI. It took about a year and 3 months for me to get to 24. It's now 1.5 years out for me. I am now hovering around there, with my weight depending on my cycle mostly. I'm pretty happy here and would be happy to stay here. The loss seems to have stopped, I think - but I am not super strict on carbs (I just had xiao long bao and beanskin curd rolls for dinner). I'm yet to add much exercise back into the mix...just starting out with some cycling.

Thanks! I suspect I'm getting close to the end, but I started out a little heavier.

I understand the Donald Trump thing. ;-)
