Oh yeah – I’m still working on the diet, in case anyone is wondering. I did get a little wake up call (comment) from Mike a week or so ago though. He asked “So, ummm, Hon, What happened to your diet?” Eek I wasn’t expecting that one. I mean, in my head I was still doing it. Right? I mean, I know I slacked on the food log, and I haven’t actually been measuring. But I have been keeping a mental tally of what I should and shouldn’t be eating. And I have been watching portion control, if not actually measuring and weighing. But my scale is not being cooperative. Perhaps, that’s because of that damn cookie exchange detour I took. I seriously knew that was a bad idea when I not only agreed to go but to bake for both myself and my Mom. I know I was nibbling here and there, and while not the end of the world, it seemed to be enough to keep the numbers from dropping.
Luckily, I have finally gotten a little of the chemo bump that I was looking to get. Unfortunately, last time chemo worked in the opposite direction. My metabolism shut down completely and with that and the voracious appetite that the steroids bring, I packed on a bit of weight that I’m still looking to shed. With the round I started last week, I’ve noticed a marked lack of appetite. I had to force myself to eat, but I’m being mindful of what exactly I’m putting into my mouth. I’ve been trying to ensure protein and vitamins and fiber intake. So far, so good. And yes, I’ve dropped a few pounds since Wednesday. I’m not complaining at ALL about that particular side-effect.
Total Lost is 11.4 pounds. Woot!
Hey, Terry! First of all, good job on the weight loss! Way to go! I have to do the same thing. Second, I misplaced your address. Could you email it to me again, pretty please?
Thanks!
=o)
Thanks Adam. It gets boring after awhile and sometimes I get sidetracked. But that’s life, I think. The point is that I’ve been able to reign myself back in and keep moving forward. So far… lol
I’ll email you again with the address.
