Hi all! It's been a while since I updated my blog, but since I had a free moment I figured I would do just that. Let's see here - well, I visited my PCP today for reasons other than weight loss surgery Haha. I am here to just have a few routine things checked out. The weight loss is chugging along (@359) so that is good :-). I feel fine and have been continuously experimenting with different kinds of food to see what is the best for me. My surgeon called telling me that my protein was a little low and iron was a little low during my last visit. I've been trying to incorporate more into my diet. I pretty much cut out all red meat (aside from occasional ground beef) since I had surgery, however I am going to start incorporating it back into my diet this week. I went to Texas de Brazil the other night and was able to set filet mignon and house sirloin just fine :-). This is a good thing since I am trying to find new things to make. I think Adam is getting tired of ground turkey/ground chicken tacos and other chicken dishes all the time hehe. We do try to have fish every one to two weeks too. Pork is also a dish we make often at our house. In any event, more red meat is incoming.
While I do still avoid sugar as much as I can, I have had a little bit now and then. Splenda is by far my BFF when it comes to sweeteners. I use it everyday in coffee, Greek yogurt, etc. There is this really good frozen yogurt place by my house called Yumz. Low sugar and super delicious, not a ton of calories either.
Other than that, I joined Lifetime Fitness. The cost is a bit high, but my company pays for the first $650 so that at least helps. I find swimming has always been great for me and I want to do that much more :-)
Hope everyone else is enjoying their Summer! My favorite time of year is almost here! Woot! Fall, here I come :-). Heathy eating to all!
