So much has changed since my last post. New grandbaby, new job, oldest got married, new teeth, started school. .
Grandbaby number six was born in Oct. 2020. It was the first little girl.
New job is working for our local Sheriff's office. I am currently working on the switchboard. It is a lot of fun. I was just released from training. Last night was my first shift without "training wheels."
I went back to school in January. I am going for an Associates degree in Digital Forensics. Police work has always amazed me.
I have decided to blog about my weight loss journey now. I am slowly losing weight. I got to the heaviest I have ever been. I was knocking on the door of 400 lbs. I knew I needed to do something about this. I went to the doctor in September and all she kept saying was that I was heavy and that I needed to have surgery to lose weight. I have never wanted to do the surgery. It has worked for some, but the majority of the people I know gained back their weight and some even gained more than they loss. The weirdest thing was that in September I had already lost 20 pounds from where I was back in March. I advised her that I was not going to have surgery and that I will lose the weight on my own. In July I had my teeth removed and implants put in. I had to live on shakes and ice cream for a little bit. I did gain 10 pounds of what I had lost. Since November I slowly got back on track.
I am currently following a Dirty Lazy Keto plan. I enjoy this because if I want chocolate cake, I will eat chocolate cake. The biggest take away I have learned from ready Dirty Lazy Keto is to eat in moderation. I can eat a piece of chocolate cake but I don't need to eat the WHOLE chocolate cake.
With my job I have actually started also doing intermittent fasting. I try to aim for between 16 and 19 hours of fasting. This has actually been a great help to me along with a new addition I have added, pre made meals.
I am also using a service called Factor75. I choose the Keto meals. I have 12 delivered every Tuesday. Tuesday is my cheat meal day. I take two meals to work each day. This is the easiest for me as I don't take time to cook prior to work. I like to just grab my food and go and on my days off I like to chill and watch movies or play video games.
Here is are some of the meals I enjoyed last week.
Sun dried tomato Chicken
I have now lost the 10 I had gained back and have lost a total of 40 pounds.
As for my implants. I had to have the tops removed the Monday before I started my new job. I was so sad. They did not take. So I had to have bone grafting done (my face swelled so much) I finally get to go back (after 4 months) for a pre-op appointment on the 22nd and should have the uppers put back in hopefully in the first two weeks of March.
