Saturday,,no work,,the morning to sleep in and what time does my body wake me? Reg time of 4:30am,,UGH!!!!

When I did the 5dpt the first time(3 weeks ago) I lost 7 lbs,went from 144 to 137 then back to 139 that next week.
Today after the 2nd 5dpt (last week) I am 136, so 3 lbs. I knew not to expect a HUGE loss this time(but 3 lbs is 3lbs!!).
What I did lose though in these past 3 weeks is 7.5 inches(total),,I measure alot of things so thats not too bad to lose from all over.
What I gained was strength and the know how to use my pouch again. The rest will follow.

Today,just the same as the other days I get my workout shoes on and get to workin out. I'm just going to keep on trudging on. I have 9 lbs to my goal weight( why is it the last few lbs are so stubborn????) After working out this morning I walked into the kitchen and wanted something sweet. I looked at the still unopeded box of hershey minis,stood there in front of them and then grabbed a banana and ate about a 3in pc. At that very moment I said to myself,,,GOOD JOB!! WEIGH TO GO!! YOU ARE STRONG!! YOU CAN MAKE GOOD CHOICES!!!

8 days and counting til my plastic surgery!!!

Thank you to everyone here for helping me realize that I AM WORTH IT

Wwow! Great post Sareena, you are doing an amazing job. And PS to come. Very cool. I'm feeling inspired. Thank you!

Very nice Sareena! You are so back in control! I know all will go well with your ps and you will continue to get stronger and stronger!

Congratulations! And good luck with the PS.

Sereena! You look fabulous! And SOUND fabulous.
What a thrill. Thank you for sharing this. I needed to hear it!

Good Job Sareena!

Yahoo! This is what it's about. Keeping our eye on the end and doing what it takes to get there. You have every right to feel pride in making good decisions.
I added you & your PS to my WLS prayer list...2/24, right?

Congradulations on your self control and good choices. I pray your plastic surgery goes smoothly!!!

Awesome Sareena!!

YAY

It IS hard to shake the last pounds. We have to exercise harder and eat less, because it takes less to run this machine at such a low weight!

One thing about the plastics...I gained weight with every surgery. I'm not saying that you will, but am just tossing it out there. Maybe it will inspire you to avoid the chocolate (or even throw it in the trash!) because you'll be better off at a lower weight going into the surgery.

Good luck and you're doing a great job!

Way to go!!!!

good job sareena on making good choices. good luck on your upcoming surgery, i'm sure everything will be fine (i'm a little jealous at this point cuz there are a few things i would like to have done), let us know how things go

You are an inspiration to me to get these extra pounds off. Good luck with your surgery.
