I haven't blogged in awhile.  Things have been crazy busy with Alexis being sick for the most part of a month between strep and the flu.  I haven't been to the gym in what seems forever and I need to get back on track.

Some days I don't eat as I should and I know I'm eating too many carbs.  I seem to get stuck around the time of dropping into the next lower number on the scale.. meaning, I got stuck around 203, 193 and now 184.  Not sure of why but right before I'm going to hit the next 10 mark, I seem to stay away by 3 lbs or so for a while.

I feel like the old me when my boys were younger and I had plenty of energy.  I can work all day and go home and not sit on the couch or go and run errands instead of just plopping down on the couch.  I was so excited last week when I walked into Marshalls and decided to try on a size 12 because my 14's felt baggy.  I took 3 pairs of pants into the dressing room with me and damn if all 3 didn't fit. 

I'm lazy-- I admit it.  I don't feel like exercising or doing much of anything.  I read how all of these people on the forum exercise so much and I wish I had their motivation.  I just don't.  Sometimes my job just sucks the life right out of me. 

I've been to the gym once since I joined and that was to meet the personal trainer.  It seems like something always comes up and I end up making excuses not to go.  Honestly-- it's just laziness.  I was suppose to clean my house yesterday-- Nope didn't do it.. ended up taking my daughter for a haircut and getting groceries. 

I've had a few rough days where I've ate new food and was sick as a dog afterwards.  Right now I feel so tired that I just want to go home and lay down. 

I finally feel at the point where I am ready to start exercising. I know...I know...I should have been doing it all along, however, I felt really bad up until this point.  I still think it was due to a sinus infection and nothing to do with the surgery.  Or maybe it was both.. 

I found a gym that has an indoor pool and where my daughter can swim while I'm working out. 

Tomorrow will be 8 weeks and I feel great.  I'm down 36 lbs and l can't wait to be out of the 200's.. only 3 lbs. to go.

I have had a few weeks that had a great deal of ups and downs and I think that was because of having a cold/sinus infection that just keeps hanging on.

This has been no easy task and each day I have to think about what I put in my mouth.  Some days I miss eating like crap but when I get on the scale, those feelings soon disappear.

Today I feel miserable-- I'm tired of being tired.  I'm moving on Sunday and have so much work to do and I don't feel like doing anything.
