surgery soon

Still weighing in at around 233. I'm not totally frustrated because I haven't been working as hard as I should. On average I get to the gym about 3-4 times a week. I've been working with a personal trainer but have been putting more emphasis on cardio. This week I'm going to try and put more emphasis on the strength training and see if it makes a difference. I always dread a little going to the work outs but feel great afterwards. As long as I can keep my mind on that great feeling afterwards I wouldn't have a problem going to the gym! There is this one poster of a woman that is hanging from the ceiling that has always inspired me. She looks so determined to achieve her goals and when I'm feeling weak I look at her to keep me going. Silly but true. Plus I think of all the reasons I want to lose weight and it helps me to refocus. I'm determined to make this week a turning point in my weight loss.

I'll be going into surgery in a couple of weeks to get my gall bladder removed. I'm anticipating a change in my diet simply because my body probably wont be able to tolerate certain foods. Some people have more problems than others so there's no way of knowing how my body will react. The gall bladder stores bile that is made in the liver which is used to digest fats. Because of this I'm guessing that I won't be able to tolerate fatty foods which is better for me anyway. Before you know it I will be a svelte new person!
