Pre-Op Diet Check-in: On My Way Down!

The medically-supervised diet class started on May 26th. It's once a month for six classes. Because it is an evening class, I topped out at 299 on the scale (at least it wasn't 300!). But I'm ALWAYS heavier at night, up to five pounds so that's pretty consistent with what I've been weighing in at home. I started the "diet" of 1600 calories on Tuesday, May 31st after the Memorial Day weekend (and our anniversary weekend - we celebrated six years!). Today I weighed on my scale at 290.0 which is great. Looks like I'm about four or five pounds down from my initial weight. I'm sure I'll weigh somewhere between 295-296 for the next class which is tomorrow night. As long as they see progress, that is all they care about so I think I'm in good shape.

I still haven't added formal working out into the mix yet. First I was sick for most of last week plus my sciatic nerve is still really bothering me. I'm going to bring that up when I talk to my doctor on our next appointment which is just two days away.

I haven't added any more videos online yet but I'm planning to do a video this afternoon after Daniel wakes up from his nap and gets some lunch. I'm studying for my first Nutrition in Health and Illness exam. I really want to ace my first test - it would make me feel more comfortable trying to cruise through and finish up this class quickly.

Not much else is going on. Dave has been working long hours and they have been feeding them at work at night so I haven't had to do any evening meals which makes it easier for me to follow my own plan. After this week, Dave wants to do the HCG diet to lose 40 pounds before his friend's wedding in August. I doubt he'll lose that much but I think he'll lose 20 pounds ok. I just hope he's able to keep it off before the wedding. I really don't want him to do the HCG thing but when he gets his mind set on something it's really hard to change his mind.

Well, that's the update for now. Check my YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/ColoradoAngela?feature=mhee for my videos.
