Happy Weekend, my Fantastic Followers!
I did it! My pre-op physical was today and I was six pounds under the required weight! All that exercise and severe calorie restriction (under 600 calories a day!) worked...but it is not the preferred way to lose!
Today and the weekend is calorie overload days! We might have Chinese food and maybe ice cream...then I will go back to serious counting again especially since I will be unable to exercise after surgery!
I went to Orange Theory Fitness after the doctor appointment and did pretty well. Two or three more classes to go before I will be shut down following surgery on October 6th. I will miss it!
