Hi everyone! I need to post more regularly, especially since people asked after me!
Anyway, I has my second wrist surgery and went to a physical therapist, who gave me a bunch of exercises to do that I wish I had known about after my first surgery. My right wrist (the second one) is doing great -- still hurts when I twist it weirdly or use it too hard, but no pain doing the PT exercises (stuff like the "prayer stretch" where you put your palms together, fingers up, elbows on a table, and slide down so that your entire forearms are on the table). My left wrist, on the other hand, not so happy with the exercises, especially the weighted ones. But it is improving already and it's only been three days of exercises so far -- the therapist said it could take three months for a significant improvement.
I'm on a healthy eating kick right now since eating so much junk for Halloween. I got on the scale at the apartment complex gym Monday and it read 135 -- I know my scale at home (which reads 129) is broken, but when we moved in the gym scale said 133 (mine said 127). My fiance says "two pounds isn't much considering you lost 55," but I know if I don't lose those two pounds right now I'll be in trouble later. So, now that my bandages are off, I'm hitting the gym and cleaning up my act at home. Temporarily going back to Lean Cuisine for lunch at work, since it helps me control my portions. I don't want to do that long term though since it has so much sodium (OTOH we eat super low-sodium at home since my fiance has high blood pressure).
Now that I said all that about how good I have been the past week or so, I am going to forget about that tomorrow evening because we are going to a cake tasting with our wedding cake baker. The cake will probably end up being dinner so it's not so bad. Maybe I'll have a salad afterward (cake tasting is at 4:30).
In other news . . . added motivation for losing those two pounds is . . .
my one year weight maintenance anniversary is coming up! I can't believe it's been that long already. I was filling out a form at the doctor's office and it asked if I had had any recent weight loss and I started to write yes, but then I was like, wait, I stopped losing weight a year ago. I intend to write an anniversary post but I've got 20 days to go and I'm hoping that's long enough to kick these two pounds (even though it took me a couple months to lose them the first time...).
I would write more, but I have to go to a meeting! I hope you are all doing well!
