Debbie Cousins's Journal, 24 Jul 23

New record low weight: 184.6. Seventy-four pounds lost. Hooray! I didn't report on stats day before yesterday, but all was good that day - met all my goals and only had 4 cans of Diet Coke. Yesterday was also a good day: Protein 138.04 grams; Fiber 50.2g; Calories were high at 2,051 (average daily calories for the week ended up being 1,994/day); drank a gallon of Water; Walked 6.5 miles, but only did my lying Exercises (not sitting or standing ones). I decided that I have too much to do in preparation for surgery to fret about the Exercises, after having done 67 days of them already.

Food Lion had their Nature Valley Chewy Protein Bars on sale for $3.99 for a box of 5 yesterday, so I got a couple of new flavors to try: Blueberry Nut and Coconut Almond. The blueberry ones were fairly good (and I won't let them go to waste), but I loved the coconut almond ones. Going to go back today and get any other flavors that I haven't tried, as well as another box of the Salted Caramel and the Peanut Almond Dark Chocolate ones that I loved from the Variety Pack I got from Amazon. Actually, those last two are IN that Variety pack, and it is even cheaper than buying them on sale at Food Lion, so I just re-ordered that. Still will look for new flavors to try, though. Variety is the spice of life!

Began packing my overnight(s) bag for the hospital last night. Have the rest of the things I will need in the laundry now. Just toiletries and food left to pack. Will have to pack the electronics on Wednesday night. I'm taking my laptop so I can post updates without having to use just one finger on my phone.
I'm praying I will get an EARLY appointment on Thursday (before the surgeon gets behind schedule, as he is known to do!) I'm also praying they will let me know the time before 5pm the night before (they are supposed to call between 5-8pm to give an arrival time).

Ok, time to walk my 3rd mile (it's 4:39am - I got up at 1am). Y'all keep Yearofhealth2023 in your prayers - her surgery is on Wednesday, and she's been unable to sleep because of anxiety about it. Mine is Thursday, but I am totally stoked!

Debbie!!!!! You are so close to getting out of the ‘80’s. Less than 5 pounds AND surgery will help you so so much! Im excited for your progress🥰. Great work on the protein intake. Can you feel the difference? More energy? Yep still having anxiety. Pre-op today at 11:30. Didnt sleep great last night either. Yesterday up at 3 am and finally able to go to bed at midnight and awake at 5. Icky. Have an awesome day today!

I think I DO have a little more energy, but it could be that the motivation is coming from the looming fear of people coming to visit me after surgery and seeing my dirty house! Got a LOT of progress made today on cleaning. Praying for you!

Prayers for you Debbie, for Thursday and beyond! I hear you on the stress of the house and people coming in. My Inner Maid took off back in 2013 when my Mom passed away and never came back to stay...Now, at 70, I am pain and mobility challenged so it's even more of an effort to get things done. Makes me glad to be in an apartment tho!
