week 3....

Well I would have to say this week has been the hardest. I was so excited to move on to soft foods,  but did not realize how hard this would be. #1 not all foods agree with my new pouch and #2 some just not longer appeal to the old taste buds. Not only do I have to go thru the learning to eat again,  but focus on getting in 60-80 Grams of protein and 64 oz of water a day. This is extremely hard when you can only consume 2-3 oz a sitting.. Another challenge it knowing when you are full before its too late. Since I never feel hungry it can be a challenge.

The things that did not agree with my pouch...
Fish cooked any way
Tuna
Salmon
melons
All the above made my stomach cramp soooooo bad it was miserable

Things that saved me this week ....
Wendy's chili - actually very healthy for you
low fat cottage cheese
premier protein protein shake
weight watchers string cheese wrapped with a piece of turkey lunch meat.

I did make it to the gym 3 out of the 5 days. I did a few 3 mile walks with my friends. My gym workout Consist of 30-45 min workout,  and 3 sets of 10 reps of 6 different weight lifting exercises depending on which muscle group I am targeting that day. I alternate everyday so I do not over work one area.

Successes this week:
was able to fit into the next  size smaller pants ; some not all =) But very excited!

My measurement loss this week was :    -1 inch waist -1.5 thighs .5 arms 0 hips
My weight loss this week was: -2.5 pounds

Over all a learning week.. Good and bad ...

This coming week I move onto all foods but think I will take it slow... I also add in a few more vitamins which themselves fill me up.. this should be interesting..
