So what do you eat anyways?
Jan 03If I’ve said it before I’ve said it a million times. I’m a year out from surgery and probably should take a moment to reflect on where I’m at as far as my eating. So today I decided to take pictures of what I ate so you and I would both understand a bit better then seeing me write it out.
B-fast in the car while driving to work (6:45): One Premier Protein Drink

My ol' standby
Lunch (11:30): I didn’t prepare to be honest so I just bought a school lunch
Before

Just look at the color of that cheese
After

The mystery dessert I think was banana bread
Snack (4:30): low fat (not non-fat I can’t stand it) cottage cheese with a bit of sea salt

This really looks unappealing in a photo but I like it
I also had a fat pinch of shredded cheese as I put back the cottage cheese container but I didn’t take a picture of that
I was FREEZING so I jumped into bed while I waited for my baby and husband to get home and decided I might need more calories
Snack (5:15): Cinnamon Sugar Graham Cracker

The sugar glistens like glitter
My husband was craving some Korean food so we went out to try a Korean place in Denton I read about on Yelp. It wasn’t very good to be honest I ordered the bulgogi.
Dinner (7:00): Bulgogi, Rice (very little) tofu and one small piece of candied potato

Why does this have veggies on it? I don't think this is authentic
I split the order with my very VERY hungry son

Hungry Hungry Hippo
And this is what was left. Honestly I know my son ate more then me

Nom Nom Nom
Then I came home and ate two marshmallows
On top of that I drank probably six glasses of water. Water is my struggle.
So that’s my day as far as food is concerned.
I didn’t workout tonight. I have something going on with my knee and I don’t want to press it and jack it up anymore.
A year (plus some) in photos: what does 97lbs look like?
Jan 01So I went looking for photos for this post and I have two things to note
1. I don’t take pictures of myself very often
2. If I take pictures of myself they aren’t full body shots
You will need to use some imagination for this but here’s a year in review of my first year with the sleeve

One year after my surgery December 28th 2011
I apparently sucked down a bottle of botox
Oct 13Ahhh the school photo. When you are young they are the hallmark to your development. When you get older it’s a bit strange – what the heck do you do with them? Send them to my mom? Put them on the fridge??? Mostly they hang out rolling around in my desk drawer. I got my photos for this year and chunked them in my ever so unorganized desk- only to find the photos from the 10-11 school year right next to them. So I took a minute out of my busy day to have a “holy shit” moment.

My eyebrows are shrinking and my forehead is growing....wtf
Granted, in both of them I look like a confused parrot- but the change is pretty obvious.
How you feelin’?

I know I haven’t really written much in awhile. I will get around to it eventually. I’m doing well…and slipping at times but then I pick myself up- dust off and get right back on the train. More on that later.
