Randomness

June 5th is fast approaching. What's coming quicker is my two week preop diet. Mine isn't as bad as others. I'm supposed to have 2 protein shakes and two snacks with one meal a day that includes 5 ounces of lean protein, 2 cups of veggies and one serving of fat. Sounds okay, right? The problem is this menu includes very little carbs and I am a carb addict! I've read about people going through carb withdrawal and it isn't pretty......lack of energy, headaches and grumpiness just to name a few things. I just have to keep reminding myself that it is only for two weeks.

I'm really staring to prepare with all the things I will need food, vitamin and liquid protein wise. I'm also trying to get a few things for at home exercising as well as looking up exercises. I also am a HUGE digital scrapbook lover and want to do a book to document my journey so I've given that a lot of thought as well. Oh, and My Fitness Pal. They have apps in both the Apple and Android markets. I've downloaded it and have been busy customizing it so it will be ready to go. I plan to start using it when I start my preop diet. If you haven't checked it out, it is worth a look. It is awesome! It is highly customizable. You can do a lot from the app but,if you go online, there's a lot more you can do. You can track all kinds of measurements that you manually enter as well as your exercise, and your food calories, fat, carbs or whatever you choose to track. Another cool feature is you can have friends on there to connect with and you can even keep a blog there if you wish. It's just a really cool site.

Happy weekend to all!
