Slowly getting things back on track and losing

Feb 06, 2010

Started November 2009 getting my life/health back in order. Started taking better care to eat healthy and exercise with limitations, but engage in some type exercise every 3 days or more often. God knows best...my car died on me in October 2009 early in the month and getting around I had to pay friend or relatives. Got kind of expensive, but things had to be done. After about the first one-hundred dollars spent on getting a ride here and there I started to walking where I needed to be. That is if it was grocery shopping or needing small stuff from the store to make do. They remodeled a grocery store a few blocks from my house so I made a shopping list, small of course and walked every time I needed something from the store. I hurt like no other each time I did it, but I did it. I rode my stationary bike on the days I did not walk. Weight and inches started coming off but slowly. The last 2 months I lost 10 lbs. I eat healthy, no junk and no sugar, white breads or sodas. I feel myself getting full and I stop. Water is still something that I cannot get down. I can drink tea without sugar or sweetner and lemon water or crystal light. I do drink orange juice every now and then. I am no where near where I want to be but am slowly getting there. I felt so embarrassed that i had gained weight and just knew my surgeon would really feel disappointed in me. I had let myself down and my surgeon. I know my tool works. I did not take care to do what I was suppose to do to keep what weight I did lose off. I lost 145 lbs. in 2 years and not having gained all of it back is a miracle in itself. Taking care of me first always and making healthy dealing with stress from family life, kids and finances. These things are under control now and hopefully I can stay on the right track and successfully reach my new set goal of 199 by end of 2010.
