I am now the proud owner of a pedometer. They were on special at the supermarket today so I thought I had better get one. Our psychologist, Warren, keeps on at me about just doing an extra 250 steps per day, that makes a huge difference, so I finally got a pedometer to count them and do just that.
I don't know how many steps I take in an average day so first I'm going to measure that, over a week, and average it out. Then I'll try adding 250 extra steps per day, or maybe more and keep a weekly record of it.
I'll even add it to these blog posts, though I don't think anyone at all is reading them. It's more just a record for myself I think. I can't imagine anyone being interested lol and I've not gotten even one comment so I'm assuming I alone am keeping up with my own blog. hehe
Ok that's all for now, laters.

Adjustment #4
Weight at last weigh in: 134.8
Amount of saline in balloon : 1260ml
Amount lost since last entry: 2kg, 3 cm from hips.
I had an adjustment on Thursday the 11th. I had 100ml added to my balloon, via the port.
I now have 1260ml in my balloon and have definitely noticed the difference. I think I'm going to be a little tender for a few days yet, I usually am after an adjustment. I think my stomach just needs to get used to the new level of being squished.
Since the adjustment all I've had to eat is:
Lunch Thursday: Grilled Salmon and Salad
Dinner Thursday: 100g serve Pan Fried Barramundi
Breakfast Friday : 2 weetbix and skim milk
Lunch Friday: Medium Boost Juice smoothie
Dinner Friday: 1 hot dog in roll with mustard and sauce
Supper Friday: Small sliver of brownie with 1 scoop of low fat ice-cream
Breakfast Saturday: 1 Medium sized Blueberry pancake with maple syrup
I'm right into fish at the moment, can't seem to get enough! Especially salmon and barramundi! They're my new comfort foods. Rather than a big bowl of ice-cream give me a nice, baked piece of fish! I'm really not all that into sweets any more, but my brain doesn't seem to have gotten the message. I keep buying things like 1kg bags of M&M's that usually would have been opened the moment I got home, but I've had it sitting there for 3 days now and it's still not been opened.
For dessert now I'm more likely to have a bowl of rockmelon with some ice-cream or vanilla yoghurt than anything else. Or a huge bowl of fruit salad with yoghurt.
Dessert used to be a MASSIVE bowl of ice-cream with mini M&M's, mini marshmallows, sprinkles and drowned in ice magic. Even the thought of eating those things now makes me feel queasy.
It helps a lot that my taste for sweets has diminished, almost to non-existence, since my surgery. I think if I still had the same sweet tooth as I used to this whole process would be a hell of a lot harder!
I plan to go for a walk this afternoon, might have to drag my friend out to come with me seeing as I'll be in the city staying with her. But I need to do it. It's been months since I got out and went for a walk, for dedicated exercise purposes.
I am really starting to believe that I'll make it to my goal weight now. At the beginning I always thought 'well I'm trying, even if I don't get there I've at least tried my best' and now I can actually see it happening. My clothes are huge on me, the ones that were tight now fit nicely and I fell more comfortable in my own skin.
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, I can see I can and WILL make it!

February's Clinic Appointment
Ok so despite not doing much at all I've still managed to lose 1.1kg. I'm happy with that, especially because I've not been doing much at all. I'm going to look at how much a casual gym membership is down the road here and go swimming a few days a week.
Will update again next month.
