Argh, argh and triple argh! I had an EVLT treatment on my right leg this past week, and I used the surgery, resulting brief convalesence and exciting pre- and post-op drugs as a massive excuse to eat not one but THREE buffalo-chicken-fingers-with-double-fries meals. Not to mention the towering pile of whipped cream, fudge, brownies and ice cream that B. cajoled me into getting after one of the chicken fingers outings. Frankly it's a miracle that our budget survived and that I only packed on 3.8 extra pounds. I blame poor menu planning and my own weak-willed caving to blue-cheese-and-buffalo-sauce-laced menu items.
The EVLT treatment is a positive step for me, as I have had swollen, painful feet and ankles since last Labor Day, and it was finally (!) diagnosed as vascular issues. Week 7 was leg one (Righty) and Week 9 will be leg two (The Troublemaker - don't ask), and hopefully within a month I'll be able to work out more, go ballroom dancing with B., and not get yell-y when people grab my ankles and say, "Good lord, they're huge!" Now my ankles will revert to their decent pre-Labor Day levels of fatness (so people can think privately that they're huge but won't be compelled to grab them.)
So, to recap:
- Too much blue cheese
- Too much buffalo sauce
- Too many fries and chicken fingers
- WAY too much towering choco-blast sundae dessert madness
- Virtually no water
- 4 days of Marcy-riding/walking - a post-EVLT requirement for circulation purposes
