Currently at: 267.8, loss of 40 pounds.
As expected, the transition back has been fairly rocky. Mostly it's that with the throat, I now feel like I have a constant cold. I may, in fact, have a cold, as R has been hacking up a lung the last day or two, but it's not clear. I am, however, draining fluids from my sinus almost constantly. And my throat feels raw.
Of course, my throat got cut apart just 3 weeks ago, so feeling raw is what I should expect, right? Nonetheless, it's all leaving me low energy and crabby. I have no reserves, so right now half of my life is a constant battle of restraint to remind myself I'm just being crabby and grumpy and I should shut up.
As for the weight loss, I went back on Monday, as promised. I stayed within calories both days, so yay, though Monday there was a pretty serious hangry time in the afternoon that was addressed with leftover fried chicken. Luckily breakfast and lunch had been sufficiently light to leave me room for the fried chicken, which likely explains WHY I was so hangry.
I haven't been successful getting back up there with the exercise. I've got a few more steps, but I'm honestly still feeling too wiped to really get out there. The temperature has gone back down, at least, so maybe today I'll be able to go and try to walk a mile or two. Just because I have to start somewhere, somewhen.
As for weight, I ticked up over the weekend -- I was pretty excessive -- and then back down the last couple of days. So I'm .7 up from last Wednesday. This is more or less where I expected to be, if a little bit of a downer. This week will hopefully see the weight loss start again. So maybe next week I'll be closer to 266. I actually was down to 266 at one point during the surgery recovery.
On the plus side, every time the tens digit ticks down from here on in will be kind of magical; I haven't been as light as I am right now in several years, and the further I go the further back in time I'll have to go. 245 is where I fell off Weight Watchers in 2006; prior to that, 1999 when I was down to 225.
