I really need to write more don’t cha think?  Here we are in the beginning of the new year and I’m first posting.  Well there’s not really much to say.  Plodding along.  Discovered my iron and my Vit D are low so trying to fix them.  weight is a funny thing. I’m around 209 now.   not 210. not 205  209.  looks like i’m gonna hang here for a few days at least.

I’m working hard in the gym so I don’t know what else to do.  my food’s not too bad either. I”m always short on fluids.  I really need to work on that.  I’m down about 44 pounds from surgery and nearly 80 (77) from my highest on the home scales… I wish it was the magic so many folks think it is.

A typical day:   get up,  prepare lunch/breakfast,  make my protein latte ( a scoop of protein powder mixed with SF syrup and some milk then mixed with the immersion blender  (the best thing in the world)  poured into the travel cup and heated while I make an iced coffee shot of coffee with my new Keurig platinum (that gives me about 4 oz of hot strong coffee)   which I drink on the way to work and it has about 26 grams of protein!  Then when I get to work I drink more protein in the form of Syntrax Nectar I prefer the Fuzzy Navel flavor and I add a tube of Crystal light Orange.  Yummy.     Breakfast or the breakfast snack is often greek yogurt or cottage cheese.   Lunch varies .  Sometimes it’s soup or leftovers today it’s a bit of salad with feta and salmon.  Yummy.   it’s almost a normal feeling meal even if it is 1/10 of the size of the salads I used to have.   Snack in the afternoon is often string cheese and jerky of some sort.

Then I go to the gym and that’s working well.  Mondays and Thursdays with the trainer. tuesdays is yoga.  Wednesday and Fridays are PT right now and will be Cardio when I’m done with PT…

oh here’s a great compare shot.  the red outfit was probably around 2004/2005  and the blue outfit was taken today
