Tuesday July 5, I went to see the fitness trainer at work. I wanted to get measurements and such before my surgery (probably early August). I told her I was so humiliated to have someone see my size in inches - but turns out she used to work at a resort type place that did adult weight loss programs for super morbidly obese (in fact, where the show "Heavy" is filmed). She also came up with a custom workout plan for me and emailed it to me on Wednesday. She sent 3 different routines for 3 days a week for 3 weeks, then I will go back for more measurements. I did the 1st circuit Wednesday night and it was great! Hard, but doable. I left drenched in sweat but very happy with my effort - it was the perfect combination of pushing myself and being able to go the distance.
Wednesday morning I saw the nutritionist for my final visit of 6. Now Dr. Friedman's office will send in my info to the insurance and see if I get approved. Once I have approval it will be a quick turn around to scheduling pre-op education class (a 2hr Monday evening) and then scheduling the surgery. I am hoping for around Aug 8-9 so that my sister will be off work and can stay at the hospital at least the very first night with me. Also, my counselor J will be out of town the end of July - 2nd of August and I want him to be in town in case I have a panic attack in my hospital room.
Anyway, these were my "stats" from the trainer Tuesday:
Weight 316.3
% Body fat - 55.10% (ugh )
Measurements:
Waist - 47.75
Bicep - 21
Chest - 52.5
Hip - 60 (baby got back... and back... and more back)
Thigh - 35 (she measured way different than I thought, my upper thighs are def bigger than that)
Calf - 22.5 (you notice my upper arm is almost as big as my calf? I'm thinking there will be need for PS there)
I'm not getting upset or down on myself for the measurements - I am working too hard to fix them so there is no point in getting all worked up. They do reaffirm my need for help, though.
