Catching Up....

Summer is here and is a very busy time in my household. Not only do I have my teen and toddler but I nanny three other school age children during the summer months. When I am not taking the kids to the pool, zoo, park, indoor bounce house, water days in the back yard, I am trying to catch up on house work (mostly laundry since it is never ending). The busy life of a stay at home Mom! So please forgive me for not posting more often.

July 4th will be 3 months post op for me. I can't believe how fast the weeks have flown by. I am proud to say that as of today I am down 61 pounds since the start of my journey. The weight loss has slowed down. I lose a pound to 2 1/2 pounds a week now. I know that it is due to the fact that I am not working out like I should. I could go on and say I am so busy with the kids, but there is no excuse for not sucking it up and taking an hour a day to work out. I have to get myself back on track even if I am exhausted from a busy day I just have to do it. After I am done catching you up to speed I am going to get on my treadmill!!

Adjusting to my new sleeved life has been fairly easy. I am using my fitness pal to help track my food, protein, and water intake. Water is still a daily struggle though but everyday it is getting better. I am enjoying trying all these new high protein low fat recipes that I have been finding online. My Pinterest  board "Healthy Eats" is overloaded with them. My family is also loving the healthy meals I have been cooking. Life is good and I am learning the in's and out's of my sleeve. If you are thinking about WLS let me just tell you it is the best decision I have ever made and I wish I would have done it sooner.
