Hormones

Been feeling hormone queen last couple of days. Not surprising as hormones are stored in fat and of course as you burn up that fat for energy as no carbs then all those lovely hormones are released into your body. Aka flooding you with hormones. No wonder people avoid people on diets! Maybe I should get a tshirt - warning hormone flooding ahead..

I've gone down again which is nice. Had a couple of days at the same and bouncing up and down. Turns out that's the nature of losing weight regardless of having 90% of your stomach taken out or not ;) more than likely the French onion soup I had at restaurant minus the cheese and bread so just onion soup that I ate around the onions. Too much sodium coupled with a few days of not getting enough water in with 80 degree days. So walked to shops drinking water all way and read a book (that's a first in LONG while) while drinking water as baby napped for a good two hours yesterday. A good reminder to drink my water, and also do a wee something for me weekly.

We are all headed to do a cruise around the bay Saturday night. It can be challenging to come up with celebratory ways that don't involve food. There's appetizers on the ship but at least something to do instead of going out for a meal for mothers day here in states

I also ordered a charm bracelet and I figured put a charm on for every 10 pounds. A good reminder to make sure I stick to my goals. Also putting money aside for those 10 pounds at a time to get some clothes later on. Hopefully by the end of this journey have a bracelet to scare Mr T off :)

So are clothes hanging off me now- well no to be honest. When you're this size elastic waists are your best friend so nope they all fit me but now loose a bit more. Same as my tops. I tried not to wear items too tight but sure I did anyway so they fit a bit better. When I'm down another 20 pounds might have to go shopping for cheap in between clothes but for now I'm not looking like I'm drowning in fabric as at home tends to be workout clothes aka tracksuit tshirt anyway. I'm not in a shiny tracksuit for those Irish readers but not doing a yummy mummy by any stretch of imagination. Hopefully my sister coming over holidays end of year can take me shopping and do one of those what to wear shopping episodes :) I prefer to click than actually shop but happy for someone else to spend my money helping me rather than me looking around ;)

This was just going to be a short post but hormones wandered in again. Off to a Mums group with the baby.
