The picture on the far left is at my husband's work Christmas party last year. The other two I took this morning. My final weigh in for the year was 254#... which means that I've lost a grand total of 109# since April. Go me. :D
We've had some not so pleasant weather as of late... so this morning I got up and shoveled the driveway.
About 2-3" snow was on the ground, and it was snowing lightly. I was able to shovel the whole driveway plus the sidewalks in front of our house without stopping to take a break. There's no way in hell I could have done that last year. This journey has already been so amazing for me, and honestly, I'm still at the beginning! I can't wait to see where it takes me. :D
So, I tried this new product that someone in my surgeon's Facebook group mentioned... BariWise hot cocoa. I bought a box of the Variety Pack. Since it was so cold last night... 1* outside, I tried a packet at random... I pulled Amaretto. It was ok. I'm not a fan of Amaretto to start with, but, it wasn't bad. Today, after shoveling for around an hour, I still can't get warm (it's 10:55 now, I came back in around 9:30), so, I made another packet... this one is the Cinnamon packet. I've never thought of Cinnamon and Chocolate together, but this is very good! I make it with around 8 oz. boiling water, and it's rich and creamy. It's got a decent amount of protein in it, and it's low cal compared to regular hot cocoa. It's a little on the pricey side... around $14/box, but, it's very good. :D
I don't usually do New Year's resolutions, but I'm going to make some this year...
-To get closer to my goal weight (175-150#) next year
-To continue to pursue exercise
-To maintain my diet
-To be healthy and Happy
Do you do resolutions? I hope you all have a safe and happy New Year's!!! Bring on 2018!!!
