GLAMMER's Notizen, 22 Jan 14

Well, I got a good kick in the pants to motivate me to get back to eating better & getting the pounds off. I saw my Ortho surgeon's assistant yesterday, about having my left hip replaced. I've already had both knees & my right hip replaced, so this will be the last leg joint & I'll be good to go as far as walking, & will be much more able to exercise & lose weight. They x-rayed my hip, & as I expected he says my left hip is in very bad shape. In shame I told him I've gained about 15 of the 40 lbs I lost for my right hip & knee surgeries back in 2012-13. But I quickly added that I'm getting back on track & intend to lose that weight & more before my left hip replacement. I am to see him again in 6 weeks, & hope to have lost at least most of the 15 lbs I've gained by then. Hubby & I have been eating better the last couple of days. We've re-committed ourselves to losing weight & eating right as a permanent lifestyle change. We are tracking our daily calories & carbs, & will weigh in every Sunday. So no more nonsense, we are going to make this happen. We plan to lose weight slowly, 1 or 2 lbs a week, as we believe this is the only effective way to keep it off, giving the mind & emotions as well as the body a proper chance to adjust to the changes as we get thinner & healthier. Because of my severe arthritis about the only exercise I can do is my recumbent exercycle. Because of the pain from 2 infections I got after the right hip replacement I really didn't get any Physical Therapy after either the hip or the subsequent knee replacement surgeries. I could easily use these facts as excuses for having gained the weight I have, but I won't. I know I could have done better than I have. But that is all in the past, & I now look to a bright, healthy, thinner me in the near future.
