So Thursday, July 30th was a grocery store field
trip with dietician Sara. I already knew
quite a bit about reading labels, but I learned a lot more about food labelling
and ‘better’ healthy choices – and it was lots of fun!
The transition to solid food was delayed one week, so we
start to eat one meal of solid food per day on August 6th – like it
was originally planned. Good – another week
for good weightloss, and a bit more time to plan and prepare for
transition. We’re told that we will
continue to lose weight (after some weight re-gain the first week of
transition), but at a slower pace than we have been doing on full
Optifast. I suppose it was too good to
last forever.
A few things I’ve noticed this week:
- A couple times now I’ve been referred to as ‘the little guy’ and I was volunteered to stand on a table to fix a projector – nope, not a chance 18 months ago.
- A few times during the digging out of flowerbeds with big shrub roots, I’ve noticed that I miss those extra pounds when I’m jumping on a shovel, trying to get a good bite of dirt.
- On walks I’m the one that wants to walk farther instead of being the one to want to turn back, and I'm not so easily winded on walks,etc.
Not bad.
