Time to get it together

Nov 12, 2011

Well it is definitely time to get back on track and this time I mean it.  I haven't been doing so well over the last few months.  I will blame it in laziness on my part.  Well I didn't have this surgery to be lazy.  I did not put my body through the 1st 3 months of HELL just to be lazy.  I did not kill myself at the gym during that time just to be lazy.  I cannot afford to be lazy.  I need to get myself back in to the routine that helped me in the beginning.  Why?  So I can be healthy and energetic again.  So I can lose this weight.  So I can accomplish my short term goals and eventually my long term goal of having a healthy pregnancy/baby.

I had stopped going to the gym.  I had stopped logging my food.  I had stopped being mindful of what went into my body.  I would just reach for this and grab that and shove that into my mouth.  I guessed at my protein amounts, which were probably lower than what I had thought.  I stopped weighing/measuring my food.  I had started eating white bread again (PB&J's to be exact). 

I have been slowly starting to get things back in order over the last month. Here's what I done (in order):
1:  switch to WW whole wheat bread for my PB&J's.  Then I eventually cut them way back and made them on 1 slice of bread instead of 2. 
2: add vegetables in my diet, which has been hard to do when I am so stuffed after the proteins.  
3: Began watching my fiber intake.  Ordered these VitaTops offline (100cal, 2.5g fat, 20+ carbs, 3g Pro, 8g Fiber).  Main reason I ordered these is bc they are chocolate and I have been having a killer sweet tooth, which I have been giving into since I know that I do not DUMP.  HIND SIGHT: sure wish I never tested the waters
4: went back to the gym. jumped on the elliptical and did the hill settings at level2 for 30min (this was higher setting than I did when I was going to the gym b4) then did 30min of abs, thighs, and calf raises.
5: I re-evaluated why I wasnt going to the gym.  I realized that it was partly b/c the gym was not opened when I needed/wanted to go to the gym.  Opened on sunday mornings at 8am when I got home at 715am after working 12hour shift (made it hard to stay awake and wait).  Also it closed at 11p and I work 3-11p during the week and dont get home til 12MN.  Then its 2am when I go to bed and am too tired to go in the morning the next day. 
6: Joined a 24/7 gym.  Yeppers.  Even went to it Friday after working the 3-11p shift.  Planning on going in the morning.

THINGS TO DO:
1: be more consistent with food logging
2: go to gym x3/wk for 30minutes cardio x3d and 30minutes strength x2d
3: taking my vitamins and supplements
4: increse my protein intake
5: weigh twice weekly
6: blog x3 days a week.  I will try to summarize my week on sundays.
7: Take a new picture and add it to my before/after side by side PICS.
