The Last 27 Pounds :)

How weird is that?!?! I can say the last 27 pounds like it is just a drop in the bucket. I have been plateaued at 172 pounds which is a loss of 111 pounds since I started the whole process last year. I tried the 5-Day pouch test twice now and something has thrown a kink in it both times. I really need to go back to the basis and drop the carbs out of my diet. I am a carb junkie and I'm losing the battle with the Carb MONSTER. I need to buckle down and get my butt in gear.

I'm going to try go bump up my protein intake from a shake 2-3 times a day plus high protein meat, poultry & fish and try to eliminate carbs for the most part. I also need to work out 5 out of 7 days per week since I've been sitting on my rear end all winter long. Since I didn't obtain my revised goal of reaching 169 pounds by Valentine's Day I will try to reach or surpass it by Easter. I'd really still like to loose all 27 pounds by my birthday. That would mean I would have 6 months after reaching my goal weight to stabilize prior to thinking about starting a family.

I'm going to start saving my pennies for a shopping spree after the next 27 pounds leave my body!!!

I am only 3 pounds from my doctor's goal of 169. I'd like to weigh 145 pounds when all is said and done. Even though my surgeon's idea weight for me is 130 pounds, I'm not sure I would look healthy at that weight. I'm already getting a hard time from my mother who thinks I have lost enough weight, she who might weigh 110 pounds soaking wet is telling me that I am skinny :)

My goal is to post every day what I have eaten so that I can be held accountable for my actions and food choices :) Wish me luck!!
