Truth be told, since I was here last, I haven't really had any shit moments which has been good for my heart and my soul. Mum and Dad were here for Christmas which was beyond awesome and when I dropped them off at the airport I did cry, but that's normal. Apart from those tears, life in the NY is going pretty good. I have sat back a couple of times and wondered where 2011 went, because I did sooo much in those 12 short months, it makes my mind boggle as to what is in stall for 2012. I'm ready tho and prepared which is another tick in the box.
My Christmas was great, I even ate Christmas lunch! Wanna see?
I ate most of this and was as stuffed as the turkey was! I even had a meringue with cream and strawberries afterwards. Much, much, afterwards mind. We opened presents, played outside with the kids, ate, listened to Christmas carols and generally had the family Christmas we wanted. I felt really happy with being able to eat something and was stoked I wasn't still back in the liquid faze. Those poor people out there who had their surgery so close to the event of Christmas lunch. Can't say a liquid turkey dinner would've been very appetising :( Could you even zap a meringue so you could drink it? *GAG*
My food intake is almost back to normal but of course the amount is still Ashley Olsen sized. I haven't been game to try steak yet, I was told red meat was pretty much off the menu for the 1st 6 months anyway. I had a couple of bites of my lasagna and quickly realised that mince is on the 'not yet list' as well. So I'm eating lots of fish and some chicken, as long as it has lube so it doesn't get stuck in the gizzard. Bread/toast with the crusts cut off, cruskits with everything and thank god I still like yoghurt! I have had 2 spew moments tho, so def on the 'never going there again' list are pavalova and fish from the chip shop! I only had a couple of bites of each, and on different days, but it all came back up. Should've seen it coming tho, I haven't eaten 'shit' food in so long, it obviously did not agree with me. That'll learn me and it has.
My weight loss has been steady, I'm now down a total of 26.6kgs and couldn't be more stoked. My lowest weekly loss has been 700 grams, which I'm still happy with but then the following week I'll have a 1.8-2.2kgs loss. I have no idea why the difference is so big from week to week but fuck I'm taking it! I will have to address my clothing situation and very soon. I'm still wearing all my old clothes and some stuff is just getting beyond ridiculous. My size 26 linen pants, thankfully with a drawstring waist, are only just hanging in there. I can't really pull them any tighter around my middle, or I'll detach my top half from my bottom. One totally wicked bonus is that I have had a wardrobe of funky going out clothing just hanging there. Enter, 'Plus size buy, swap and sell clothing group' on fb and BAM!! I've sold half of it and made $250!! I should be putting that money aside to spend on myself but no I had to go and buy more Oobi!! Don't ask, it's a long story. A whole other blog.
I'm learning to 'like' my new body. I'm starting to get the droop on already, like the bingo wings are here. Great Scott!! YUK!! Can't say I like them tho. I like the fact, the other day I was told I look 26 hahaha!! You should've seen the woman's face when I told her I was 37! I have shoulder blades peeking thru which I actually saw in the car window yesterday. I looked left and then right, yup there they were. Lucky no one busted me checking myself out in the car window! Dh even commented the other morning that I had a huge 'hole' from my hip inwards, especially when I was lying down and on my side. Um Honey, that's because my stomach used to be there ....
We went out on Tuesday and visited some very dear friends of ours. It was so fantastic to be with my girls and I loved how everyone was so interested in what I was going thru. It was my first outing since surgery that included eating and I loved every minute of it. There was a mean as kiwi BBQ on for good and old and I had my piece of fish a piece of garlic bread and some 'Masterchef Shaun Chick Pea Salad'. It was healthy, filling and made with love. I even tried my first Sav Blanc in almost 3 months and well lets just say that that is on the 'not yet' list as well. Gutted. I could only manage one sip because it burnt like fuck, weird?? There was this mega hot feeling in my gut and it was not cool. So I gave the rest of my inch sized glass to my GF and I watched with envy as she swigged away. I hope eventually I'll be able to enjoy a glass of the fine white nectar cause I do like a drop. Or 10 back in the day ...
