18 POUNDS DOWN

Aug 07, 2012

Well I am 18 pounds down since I started this in May.  I am not seeing the same success as I did the first go around with this diet.  I had lost 13lbs in 10 days.  I am at a stand still right now.  I didn't eat all the required food yesterday ....I missed the cup of milk,  2 cups of strawberries and the slice of cheese.  I am trying to get the kids back on a schedule...I have allowed them to stay up later than I normally would. I feel they have been couped up most of the summer due to the heat.  (my kids are fair and over heat easily) The last few evenings have been nice and cool so I have had them to the park running a muck. There just seems like so little time these days and so much to do and other days go by so slowly.  But I am caught up on my laundry and I just have to go through the dressers to get everything ready for the fall. It is funny because I would normally do this on the labor day weekend  but this year will be different.  I fear I won't be able to manage all of that after surgery.  So this afternoon I shall start going through the buckets of clothes.  I did over haul my bedroom over the weekend and my oldest son finally cleaned his room now my daughter has to clean hers before going to New York next weekend (she will also be turning 14yrs old that same weekend) .  So I will need to prepare a meal of her choosing and a birthday cake next Sunday.  So there is so much left to do.  Jim (my husband) is taking 2 weeks off work while I recover.  I am just hoping I will be good to go by the time the kids are ready to head back to school.  The walking will be good for me.  My youngest will be 3 in November and we have started training him to walk with us without the stroller but I think for the first little bit I will have him in the stroller.  I guess it will depend on how I feel.   My thoughts are all jumbled and all over the place.  I have been through many surgeries and this one I fear the most.  I fear I won't wake up or that I won't make it through for whatever reason and I feel almost selfish that I could leave my children without a mother and Jim with all of these small kids.  My older ones will be fine They are good kids.  I know this is unlikely but still my biggest fear.  I just need to make sure my house is in order before I go into surgery.
