Sticks and Gallstones will break my bon....wait what?

This week is an extremely busy week for me and I will finally tell ya why the posts have been thin lately. Remember a few posts back when I said that I had a gut wrenching stomach ache? Well I have been back and fourth to my doc and I went and had an ultrasound done on Friday and I'm pregnant! not really but obviously you already knew that, the ultrasound did in fact show that I have gallstones though so I will be dealing with that until it gets sorted out.

Where the better health program goes I am pretty much on track besides not getting in my workouts as much as I would like to this last week. I have been sticking to my calories but slacking off on the bike/walk/run thang. Last night I did go for a ride with wify on the bike but I forgot to reset my bike computer so I am not sure how long we were out but I was sweaty so I was working and that's what I like to see. A bike ride is planned for tonight as well because I have decided that well I will just say it, I am being lazy with the not working out because I am comfortable with my size right now but since I am far from done losing weight I gotta keep on kepin on.

Here is a look at the menu from Monday, I am going to try and post the menu every day this week for those who care to have a look.

Breakfast
7:15 AM
2 cups fruit & grain cereal 240
1 cup 1% milk 110

8:00 AM
1 banana 105

10:45 AM
1 oz smart puffs 140

Lunch
1:00 PM
lavash bread 100
4oz deli turkey 100
1 T miracle whip 40
1 med tomato 25
lettuce/pickle 10

Dinner
5:45 PM
6oz ground turkey 240
2 80 calorie hamburger rolls 160
1 T light Oil/vinaigrette dressing 50
Green salad 50

8:15 PM
1 banana 105

Grand total was 1475 calories for the day which is pretty low but I have those days sometimes and there was about 6 strawberries not listed there that I ate as well so slightly higher than the 1435. I have a couple docs appointments this week and hopefully I can get things squared away with this gallbladder predicament sooner than later so that I can stop stressing over it which means going to bed at a reasonable hour instead of staying up late researching gallbladder stuff, the ironic part of that situation is that my weight loss likely caused the stones in the first place! so my idea for not having any surgeries turns into the great possibility of me having a gallbladder removed, I have an appt tomorrow to talk about it so I will have more info then.

Getting comfy in my own skin is awesome! and not so awesome at the same time because of the relaxing on the strictness but I am re-devoting ALL of my time to me for the month of August and expect great things for me where my health and weight loss goes. Wify has hopped back onto the wagon and that will only help my situation because watching her stay strict makes me want to one up her and be that much more strict, call me competitive! whatever works right? and with that thought another post comes to an end and hopefully everyone of you are staying hydrated, and if not ask yourself "why not?" and go grab a big ol glass of H2O right now!

Thanks for following along while I get healthy and less round.

As Ever
