Just a quick post to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! It is my first Thanksgiving with my new eating habits. We had our annual Thanksgiving dinner at church this past Sunday and I believe I did very well since there was a whole lot of food that I could have splurged on. I did my turkey, some mashed potatoes, green beans, and a little dressing and for dessert GRAPES. It was all very good.
We are going to my sisters for dinner today. I made myself a pumpkin spiced cheesecake bar for my dessert. Got the recipe at my support group meeting. We will have the turkey and all the trimmings, will just take a little of what I can eat.
Now for the good news, since last October I have lost 184 lbs. and since the surgery 146 lbs. I feel really great and went for a 3 mile bike ride this morning. I have hit another plateau and haven't lost in a week, so I thought I should get in some extra exercise. I bought a speedometer for my bike and it also is an odometer. I wanted to know how far I've rode. I had to take the bike in to the shop this week so they could fix the pedal crank, it was rubbing on the chain guard and making it hard to pedal. Now it is really a lot easier to ride.
I did something to my left arm the night before we left from Illinois. I thought I just slept wrong but it is still sore. The doctor thinks its nothing and probably just a pulled muscle, but I would of thought that by now it would have gotten better. Oh well, I'll deal with it.
I go to see my pulmonologist this coming Monday (Dec. 1st) and hoping that he will take me off of the oxygen machine. I have bought me some of the Breathe Right nasal strips and they help alot, so hopefully it will show up on the sensor that I'm sure he will make me take home and sleep with and bring back to get the results. I will post again after that.
That's all for now, everyone have a great Thanksgiving.
