I took today off from work because I had a dr's appt. It was just a checkup, don't worry! I went to a doctor that is helping me in my weight loss journey. I saw him last year in October and on his scale I weighed 232. Today I weighed 218 on his scale!!! That is -14lbs! that was with clothes on of course and my home scale said 213.4.... Either way, I am down 14 lbs since October! I know I majorly slacked off during the holidays, so I am really only counting my weight loss since I started a little over 3 weeks ago.
He charts your height, weight, and BMI and it was really neat to see that by losing only 14lbs, I decreased 3% on my BMI! That is HUGE when you are considered obese.
He also gave me a "recipe" for a shake/smoothie he makes in the morning if he is in a hurry. I have not tried it yet, but when I do, i will let you know if it's any good...
this is the approximate recipe- add to your taste
1/2 cup raw oatmeal
1 cup rice milk or grain milk
1/2 banana or any fruit you choose
2tsp vanilla
dash of cinnamon
Well, that's all from me today : ) Have a wonderful day.
WOW 14 lbs- way to go Dana! That is awesome...i wonder how the shake taste- did he say it will help you lose more weight?
ReplyDeleteHe said it was a quick, healthy breakfast. It's better than many alternatives and he said using the rice milk or grain milk instead of regular milk or yogurt makes it healthier. So, we shall see.
