Well, I’m done with my second week of my weight-loss journey with Studio V, and I’ve got to tell you, it’s been a rollercoaster ride! This week I started off strong, but some health problems got in the way and have set me back a little bit. I’m finally starting to feel better, but the doctor’s orders are no exercise until April 14, so I’ve really had to focus on my diet this week – I’m really broken up about the orders to rest, can you tell! (-: I’ve included my Week 2 journal below and I’ll be back next week with another update!
Day 3 – Okay, today was rough. I think I may have the stomach flu or maybe food poisoning (I won’t go into the details here, you can probably guess how I feel.) No exercise or meal plans today, just lots and lots of sleep – if the kids will let me.
Day 4 – 6 – I’m lumping all of these days together because I got behind in posting and they are all kind of blending together anyway. What I thought was food poisoning and sore muscles, my fellow blogger April (who’s also a friend and a nurse) thought might be appendicitis, so I made a trip to the doctor’s office. The doctor agreed with April and had me admitted to the hospital. Thankfully I did NOT have appendicitis, but I do have some ruptured ovarian cysts which are super painful and have knocked me on my tail-end for a few days. Luckily for me, I had already done all my shopping for my meal plan this week, and Studio V has a huge selection of yummy, easy-to-make meal choices so I’ve been able to keep up on my diet. Tomorrow is weigh-in day and I know I haven’t gained anything, but we’ll see if I actually managed to lose weight this week.
Day 7 – Oh Happy Day! When I got on the bathroom scale this morning I was so shocked by what I saw that I had to step off and try again…. twice. If you recall, last week I weighed in at 165 pounds, and this morning I was down to 163!! I think it was a combination of the vomiting, exercise early in the week, and eating as well as possible. I’m not supposed to exercise for a few more days, but I’ll keep up on my diet and let you know how next week goes!
