would you mind if a took a month to talk about preparation? for christians, easter sunday is the culmination of lent, a time of spiritual preparation. for parents who are pregnant, preparation is about buying clothes, fixing up a baby room, and adjusting to a brand new kind of living.
although a big believer in randomness and spontaneity, i value preparing for things that are unknown, untried, or uncertain. it just makes sense. to be prepared is to be better equipped to handle a new situation.
for about a month i have been making preparations for april 29th, 2013. as part of the preparation we bought a magic bullet food processor, protein powder, high-protein foods, and fruit. on the livestrong website, a section called myplate helps me to keep count of carbs, protein, fat, and of course calories. the nutritionist recommended eating small portions, slowing down, and reading food labels. the doctor asked that i lose several pounds to better prepare for april 29th. i have lost nineteen pounds.
the bariatric surgery is at 1:15, thirty days from today. and today marks the beginning of the countdown. for several of the next thirty days, i will use this forum to record my thought and feelings as b-day approaches. i invite you to follow along.
