Whelp, I have lost a total of 2 lbs. In 3 weeks, which is A) healthy weight loss but B) not as much as I had hoped for. A friend of mine started doing weight watchers through their online program and I have decided to try it as well. I set a goal of 5% which would put me down at 197.5 lbs at the end of the month. I have 3 months so hopefully by my 27th Birthday (in may) I can be down to my college weight of 175 lbs (this was when I was in peak rowing shape). My ultimate goal is to get down into the normal range for my BMI which is somewhere in the 145-160lb rage. I have to admit I am a bit scared to get down there, I have always been a bit chubby so I don't really know what I will look like at that weight. But here goes nothing.
On a side note, this Friday I am getting the first of 2 outpatient surgeries that are supposed to help solve my spider vein problem. One this Friday and one next Friday.
This is what I am Having done (if your squeamish, don't watch): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwWlLTzXtdo&feature=player_embedded
It is supposed to treat the underlining cause of spider veins. Then once this is done, I can have my spider veins treated and I don't have to be concerned with them coming back!
And My parents are visiting (my dad for a week and my mom for 2). My mom being the over protective woman that she is wants to make sure I am A-OK after these surgeries.
