But I'll take it. 5 days 'til food.
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....
I'm starting to make my plans for the time between cycles (about two months). Three of those weeks are stabilization weeks (no carbs). Six, actually. They consider the time it takes to effectively stabilize to be six weeks, but the last three you can introduce carbs. The doc doesn't want people to really pursue that much when they're going to do another cycle shortly. Sigh. Forgot about that 'til right now. Even so, I'm having some. End of story. Anyway....
The plan: obviously work on maintaining. But work on the overall things I think are important for me: drinking a lot of water, not eating after dinner, working on smaller portion sizes (I can eat like a longshoreman and no mistake). Also, work on my back strengthening.
Yeah, my surgery failed (words fail!). But I can still get stronger, which can only help. I graduate from physical therapy Dec. 10 (yay!). I mean, I like being there, but it's the getting there that's a pain, plus it disrupts school.
So there you have it. The outline of my plan. I am not excited about doing another long cycle in Feb. I hope more enthusiasm grows between now and then. Not being hungry for the two months in between will probably improve my attitude about it. At least I hope so. I have 40 pounds to go for my goal (then we see, but the magic 8 ball says enough already). Sounds like a lot if you've never been obese. But after losing 85, 40 sounds relatively easy!
Part of me wants to just bag it, but until I have a tummy that doesn't...fold...I'm keeping on!
