Trying to get back on track and lose the weight again.  Sigh........

Wow I looked back over the progress pictures I took my 1st year after my WLS and now I am itching to get back down.  Not sure I want to get back down to my lowest weight (always felt like that was too low to begin with) but I think I would like to get back to around 170 lbs.  Will see where this takes me.

So somehow I managed to maintain my 15 lb loss through the holidays without getting in to the gym at all.  I made it through my birthday (only had 1 piece of cake & threw the rest out), Thanksgiving (a few pieces of pie during the week), my youngest daughter's bday (no dessert), my dad's bday (no dessert), and Christmas (with 10 dozens homemade cookies at my house).

I am physically feeling the difference from not steadily working out and am ready to get back on track.  Regular gym schedule here I come!

I have been back to the gym a little bit.  Managed to get those pesky 4 lbs back off.  These last few weeks have been difficult.  Between my husbands car accident, crazy work schedule, etc.  I am so off track with getting to the gym.  Ugh!  The holidays are coming and I have go to stay on track.

So my husband was in a car accident at the beginning of the month and things have been crazy.  I haven't been able to really get to the gym and needless to say I have been stress eating.  Up 4 lbs right now.  Guess I better get my butt in gear.

Wow so amazed that I am down a total of 15 lbs now!  And that was actually after being on vacation for a week.  So glad I was able to make good choices.

Woohoo!!!!  Was so excited when I weighed in this morning.  Down another 3 lbs to make it 10 lbs total.  I am so excited with myself and my progress.  And I am doing it in a way that is working for me so I don't feel deprived or overwhelmed.  Yeah Me!!!!

Alright so I have been holding steady now for a bit, had a small gain last week due to bad weekend choices but I was able to knock that back off in a day.  No loss this past week but I haven't hit the gym in a few days due to a day off for a date with hubby where I got a new tattoo, so no tennis shoes for a few days.  Finally was able to hit the gym today and it felt good.  So I have been the same weight for 2 weeks, not bad as I also suspected it was about time for a stall.

I am down 7 lbs in 6 weeks!  I have been hitting the gym 4 - 5 times per week (and actually putting in some real effotr), doing a bit of extra cardio at night walking my dogs, really changed up my eating habits (although still occassionally allowing for an extra treat and not being as strict on the weekends) and I am starting to see results.  I can really tell a difference inch wise and in how my clothes are fitting.  Things are really toning up right now.

So I lost my workout buddy.  The coworker who was going with me to the gym had to quit due to finances and physical health.  I am more determined than ever to get myself on track.  Ultimately I have gained 24 lbs since I stopped smoking, that is 67 lbs from my goal weight where I originally was.  I have evaluated a few things and I see where stress/depression have played into my eating a lot in the last year.  I also see where I can make several changes with my eating that are going to be a lot healthier choices for me.  I am going to attempt to implement my ideas and see how this work out.
