I have been keeping up with my daily vitamins and medications consistently for the last two weeks. I'm very happy with this accomplisment. I will be returning to work tomorrow and will be working at remembering to maintain my daily vitamin and water intake. I have a stackable pill container that I will keep my vitamins in. I will keep it on my desk as a visual reminder to take my vitamins. I have lost 23.6 pounds since my surgery date on 08AUG16. My surgeon is expecting a 10% weight loss by my next appointment on 23SEP16. That's 10 pounds left to loose and should put me at 216 pounds. I really want to reach this goal. I have noticed that I have better sucess when I am working towards attainable goals.       

I made it an entire week!!!

I took my morning medications and Vitamins at 0900

Afternoon iron was taken at 1400

Evening Medications and vitamins were taken at 2100.

Now I just need to continue to take my Vitamins daily.

Today was an average Saturday. I got up and headed straingt to the kitchen to get my morning coffee. I added my Genepro to it and settled into my recliner for a relaxing day. 

It was 1000 before I remembered that I need to take my Vitamins. So I took my mornning medications and Vitamins at 1015. 

I decided to go to the local Natural Food Store to pick up a few items. I finally was able to get my hands on some Bluebonnet Calcium Magnesium Citrate & D3 Liquid. I didn't retun home until 1500. I remembered to take my afternoon iron as soon as I entered the house.

Since I didn't remember early this morning to take my Vitamins I decided to go ahead and take my evening Medications and Vitamins when I thouht about them at 1930.

I'm just glad I got them all in today. Along with some Bluebonnet Calcium Magnesium & D3 Liquid!!  

I woke up early this morning and took my morning medications and Vitamins at 0430. I did take a nap and awoke at 0700.

I took my afternoon Iron at 1330.

I took my evening medications and vitamins at 2040.

Weekends will be the challenege. I always have difficulty with taking my medications and Vitamins on the weekends and when I'm on Vacation because it is out of my "normal daily routine"

Today was a busy day. 

I took my morning medications and vitamins at 0830.

I was getting my car serviced this morning and only had access to bottled water. Of course they had coffee and Danish but I chose to stick with my water. I was there until noon and drank three 16.9 oz bottles. 

I had some errands to run and didn't make it back home until 1400. I was hungry and decided to drink a strawberries and Cream Premier Protein shake. I knew that Its not a good idea to take iron and calcium together so I decided to wait and take my afternoon iron. 

Took iron at 1700.

Took my evening medications and vitamins at 2100.

Took my morning medications and vitamins at 0830

Took afternoon iron at 1400

Took evening medications and vitamins at 2200

I had a good day. I woke up today an took my morning medications and Vitamins at 0800.

I had my afternoon Iron at 1300.

My evening medications and vitamins were taken at 2100.

It's so surreal. I can't believe that 100 pounds are gone forever. I never really thought that I would ever get here. Now that I'm here I'm anxious about the rest coming off. It has not been an easy road. I have made some good choices and some bad ones. The difference now is through behavior modification  I have learned how correct the bad choices and not continue the old cycle of reinforcing them. At the beginning of my journey and for most of my life I was a mindless eater. I ate gargantuan amounts of food for any and all reasons. I now take the time and consciously think about what is going into my body. Protein first!!! Water second!!! Exercise third!!! I take one day at a time. I get overly anxious when I look at the big picture. It's tooooo big for me. Living for today and making choices for today with mini goals works for me. If I was given the choice to do it again I would do it in a heartbeat.
