Thursday, January 1st, 2009: Happy New Year! 58 Pounds!!




Happy New Year to all!!

Erica has lost 58 pounds and is now eating about a half-cup of food at one sitting. She loves orzo, grits, and had two slices of King's Hawaiian sweetbread for breakfast this morning. She's now eating small portions of ham and chicken. She's also snuck in a small (demitasse) cup of decaf coffee and enjoyed the heck out of it.

However, there are some issues which are beginning to crop up because of her big weight loss; the groin pain (for which she had the back surgery in March) has come back to a small degree, and it looks like the 1-1/2 inch lifts on her shoes need to be pared down. We think her body is adjusting to its new "lightness". We'll ask the doctor about it at our Monday appointment, and I'll let you know.
