******************************************************

I've been in a state of transition for 6 months.  In particular, the last two months I have been living with a friend while waiting to move across the country.  My temporary living condition was due to the blessing of the freakishly fast selling of my home.  During that two months, I had gall bladder surgery and had to scale back my workout AND was taken out for a celebratory or farewell lunch/dinner/drinks at least 6 times per week plus 3 parties.

I enjoyed myself. I felt very blessed and loved. I have no guilt. Now, it is back to reality- a normal lifestyle.  I'm in my own place again. I found the grocery store, and my refrigerator is stocked.

Things that I have to do (or go back to doing):
-breakfast= same 1 or 2 meals each morning which is almost all protein with a little vegetable
-snack twice per day, usually protein and 1/2 serving of fruit
-cook my own lunch or dinner daily, including tuna or some other fish for at least 4 meals per week. I always lose a lot of weight when I eat a lot of fish.
-about 1-2 glasses of wine per month as opposed to 1-2 glasses per week
-no grazing (new habit that I picked up)
-drink all of my water (habit that I strayed from due to the grazing)
-workout 4-5 days per week
-get at least 7 hours of sleep (lately it has been more like 3-5 hours)

I already met my original 1-year goal, and I didn't gain during the transition. So, I'm not stressed. Let's see what I can do between now and my anniversary on June 10th. I have other goals ahead of me.

Sending you well wishes. Post when you can to let us know how you are!

You are doing wonderful!!!! Way to live life to the fullest - i'm excited about your progress - keep posting!

Welcome to the board!!

I have not had surgery out of the states. I just wanted to say welcome. I know that I have read and heard good things from persons that have went out of country. Hope you will find your answers to your questions.

I love the gym! It is going to be only my 3rd day, but I know this is what I am really liking!! I love the way my body feels what I have done so far. I feel the muscles in my body. Having never been in a gym, it is weird feeling but I am so for it!! I want result in how my body continues to change!! I want to feel it, see it, and know that I am on the right track. It has been such a long journey, but yet so short. I say short since this is really actually my life long journey!!


Each day brings more and more that body is able to do. I love the sence of direction I am getting with my new choice and action to join they gym now! I love it to because I ride my bike to the gym, so I am getting to do what I love when I go to the gym. Such purpose!!

HUGS and thank you for all your support. We do all have dark days... In and between our light days. I do not mean necessarily depression but more of doubt or frustrations.

I know today is Wednesday, but thought I would post in here. I will be weighing and posting next Monday.

I have been pushing on. Although I will be blogging my thoughts today. I have had some dark moments with my frustrations. Happy but frustrated, but I know the steps that I have taken are good for me. Losing track of my NSV... Consumed by that damn scale.

Great work everyone of you!!

I need to come in here and post and for me it is like therapy... I end up taking my advice and realizing how easy it is to give. Then thinking, take it and do something with it. I see we all have such great things happening and are so many things in common!!

Hugs to you all!
