Week 18 Update

Another successful week clocked. I lost another 2.2 pounds. Which is pretty good considering my period was on most of the week. And considering I am still going stir crazy at home. I made my lemon meringue dessert and took it in tonight. Not a good night to do so considering no one was there. But the couple of people that did show up though it was very good, so that's a plus. I go to see the surgeon tomorrow so hopefully he will let me go back to work. I also set up an appointment with the exercise physiologist to do a body composition analysis. Part of me is very happy with where I am. I can fit into size 8 and 10 depending on the cut. I exercise almost every day, and I enjoy it. I got a wonderful compliment from one of my mom's coworkers who has not seen me since high school. He noticed my hair cut. And just to spell it out - The only difference he noticed was my HAIRCUT! But I am not where I need to be as far as BMI is concerned. And yes I know BMI is not perfect but its a starting point. Which is why I am doing the body composition analysis. It will give me a better idea of what is fat and what is not. As well as give me a rough guess on how bad a hit my metabolism has taken from doing this program. Plus there is nothing to say I still can't lose weight while in the Adapting phase of the diet. Plus it would be a lot easier on my wallet. So decisions decisions decisions. I also talked to the nutritionist and she said I just need to make an appointment with her when I am ready to take the next step. I guess I will be more able to make that call after the body analysis on Friday. The other part I need to acknowledge is the fact that being home all day makes this so much harder to hande. So who know, maybe when I go back to work I will be able to stick it out better until I get the last pounds off. We shall see. 160's here I come.
