I had a really intense workout with Trainer Tim today. He had me doing things to really push myself. I couldn't do everything that he asked for as well as he wanted me to, but I tried so very hard! This girl is stubborn, and she does not give up easily, if at all. :) What's more, after he got done with me, I did some newfangled cardio machine for 30 minutes, then walked a mile on the treadmill. Go away, fat girl! There's a skinny girl inside me fighting to get out!
Last week I got in 5 days of cardio, which was good for me. I've been doing the elliptical at the gym and working with Tim. At home on the days/nights I work, I've been doing the Wii game Zumba 2. I am soooooo uncoordinated. Well, I shouldn't say that: I'm not uncoordinated; I just can't dance. So I'm sure it's amusing to watch, but Zumba makes me sweat, and there's good music, and I like it!
I made it almost 2 weeks without throwing up. A veritable miracle in my book. I'm not sure what caused me to throw up, but at least I kept my food down; it was just some water I drank about an hour after I ate.
Some of the new things I've eaten in the last week or so: crab stuffed flounder, tomatoes, strawberries, shrimp, and cashews. Tonight, I made shrimp in salsa verde (Mom mentioned the idea to me over the weekend), which was yummy! Apparently it was too spicy for Mike, but I'm so grateful that my pouch doesn't seem to get pissed off with some spice. I haven't pushed the spicy limit very far, but I would be miserable without the occasional hot sauce or spicy something or other. And there are jalapeno plants in my garden being loved on, so I want to eat some of those! Last night was the crab stuffed flounder (from Trader Joe's) and some kumato brown tomatoes on the side (also from TJ's). Yum! I made strawberry cannolis for dessert (see Shelly's Blog, theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com). Tomorrow night I'm going to make that crockpot taco chicken again. :)
I've been a good girl about taking my vitamins and getting my protein in. I don't think I mentioned it, but my postop labs from about a month ago were perfect. I was very pleased (and surprised)! Starting to get nervous about losing my hair though. Should start happening in about a month if it's going to. Maybe I'll get lucky... I'm definitely doing everything right, so if it happens, there's really nothing else I could have done to prevent it. In the grand scheme of things, I guess thinning hair for 6ish months isn't so horrible. I feel blessed to have only had the one complication I have had (so far). There are so many people with such awful issues that I really feel like a jerk when I complain sometimes... especially seeing what I see every day that I work...
