Today starts my 3 week pre-op diet and I'm in denial about it. I don't want to do it!
It's not to bad - 3 shakes, 2 fruits and a salad with protein. It's much better than an all liquid diet, but I like variety and snacking. It's crazy to think that I can't eat anything except those things for the next 21 days. Then when I'm done with that, I will have my surgery, eek! Am I ready for this?

Rewards
I think rewards are a great motivator, so I've come up with a list of rewards for myself.
Pounds lost Reward
25 New haircut/color
50 Massage
75 Shopping Spree (at the thrifts store)
100 Trip to theme park
That's what I've got thus far, we shall see if I need to make more depending on motivation or because I've lost more than 100lbs. I would ultimately like to lose 120-150 lbs, but let's get to 100 first and then go from there.

I'm moving!
And so is the scale! We have gone to the pool a few times this week and last, so I've been taking that chance to move my butt. I've been taking the weights and doing some moves I know from aqua aerobics, along with holding on to the side and kicking my legs for 5 minutes.
According to my scale, I've lost 9 pounds compared to my Dr.'s scale. But who the heck knows what it will say on Thursday, at my appointment.
Lastly, I've joined a gym. Crazy will be going to preschool two days a week for a few hours, so I'm going to take that child free time to work on myself. I'm going to do that twice a week and aqua aerobics twice a week also, if hubby is willing to watch Crazy at 5:30 twice a week. We shall see how that goes. I love AA but getting someone to watch Crazy is hard.

Things I can't wait to say!
"Want to feel my port?"
"Why yes, I have lost weight!"
"Yeah, I do look good, thanks!"
"I'm full."
"I need to get to the gym."
"I've lost X pounds!"
"Why yes, I have lost weight!"

Getting down to business
We were in Philly for a few days, and I was sick as a dog, so that cut down on my snacking. And we did a bit more walking then normal.
Now that we are home, I went for a 1.5 mile walk yesterday and today we headed to the pool. While hubby took care of baby boy, I did some of my aqua aerobics moves. It starts up again at the beginning of Sept. and I'm super excited. This is the one activity that I have never dreaded, and actually look forward to. I hope with losing weight, I will pick up more activities that I enjoy as much. I would love to try zumba and spinning.
I have to lose 10 lbs by my surgery date, I have an appointment at the beginning of the month, not sure what for. I hate the scale there, it doesn't seem to budge. I seem to be at least a pound heavier there than at home.
