This week is 10 weeks since surgery...my total weight loss is 45 pounds.. YAY.. I am so excited. I find myself doing better each day...but there are some days that are not so good..ex..not drinking enough water or taking that extra bite..that I am not suppose to (than I feel so yucky afterwards...physically and emotionally)...those days are few. But all in all....I feel good and I am more active than I have ever been. I am not so tired all the time.. So things are going really good. My workouts are getting more intense (with the help of Lesa)...which is good too.
POA - Yes...I am still working on the meal planner and daily meal journal. Really need to just sit down and do it.. Oh well..I will someday. I am glad summer is here...so is Grady. Family will be visiting...which I love...and Grady has some football camps/camps coming up too.
I will leave you with a few quotes that I ran across this week...and they always make me stop and think..
- Don't trade what you want most, for what you want at the moment - so true..when I go to the kitchen and think I am going to get something...than I think of this...and I tell myself...nope not going to do it.
- Just because you get the monkey off your back doesn't mean the circus has left town. The fight is forever. - Very true...days are definitely getting better but it will be fight I will have forever which is OK..I am learning so much about myself and it has helped me in other areas of my life.
- Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you will land among the stars - Les Brown - To me this is a everyday quote...I have always liked it....Always try your best..
- Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true! - Ralph Waldo Emerson - I don't know if I am the only one (I doubt it) that goes through a big change (any kind of change) and starts thinking about other things (changes/dreams/what makes them happy) in their lives and what could they change..I know I am...and I have started making a list. I am not sure my list will amount to something or not..but I do feel the need to write it down and pray about it...hmmm..something to think about..
Love to all,
