It's been a while since I've blogged on here...a really long while. I am approaching my two-year surgiversary and have been having some issues the last few months:
- eating on the run (too many convenience foods)
- inproper planning of meals
- eating too many carbs
- not getting enough protein
- not drinking enough water
- NO exercise
Seriously, some of these have been problems all along (carbs, not enough water), so I might as well just write them off now and acknowledge that they will be struggles for the rest of my life.
However, some of the other issues seem to be just me falling back into bad habits. I am hoping that with spring coming and the weather getting nicer, I will get outside more and be more active. I feel like I've been a bear hibernating the last few months. I've been grazing all the time and I've even discovered that my body can tolerate small amounts of sugar. Not that I sit around eating three cupcakes at a time, but now I know that I can have a bite of that cupcake...and that is dangerous!
I'm really hoping that by getting back on track with this blogging (putting my thoughts down), that I will be more cognizant of what I'm eating and doing. I need to snap out of this funk, and get back to the basics (protein first, lots and lots of water).
My lowest weight (for just one day) was 169 pounds...and that was about 9 months out after surgery. I've slowly tickered back up to 179 pounds, which still isn't too bad. My initial goal was 160 pounds...and I think I can still do it. Just have to start exercising and drinking the water...and cutting back on the carbs and snacking.
Here's hoping to a new outlook for me this spring! Peace out!
