WooHoo... 10 years later!!!!!

Jul 18, 2018

June 2, 2008 was the big day and here it is 10 years later!

It's been 5 years since I've last blogged about my journey to a healthier me. I'm still workingthis tool and its been up and down with struggles. When they say that you can gain weight back belive it! Just a couple a months ago I ballooned back up to 297, by going back to my old ways of drinking and eatting for the most part, and not working out.

Then my dream job help me get back on track! I'm so excited to say that I'm now working with bariatric patients as an Bariatric Patient Navigator! I was like no way could I go infront of these patients and talk about the surgery and I'm not doing what I suppose to do.

I got with a dietitain and a CPN for non-surgical weight loss medicine. So the dietitian started me on a 1200 calorie diet, and told me to go to workout 5x a week for 1 hour. The CPN gave me Phentermine and Saxenda! Which Saxenda is my favorite per its a shot a day, and kills your appetite for 12 hours.

So I started this process on May 2nd at 297, and as of today I'm 270. So in 2 months I've lost 27 pounds. My lowest weight since having the surgery was 228, and my current goal is to get to 230! So I have about 40 to go and I love going to workout! Cardio is my favorite to do and I hate lifting... #LOL

I still to this day don't get hungry pains and greasy foods make me dump. So yes pretty much I airfry everything! I had my pouched checked last year and it's the same size as the day of surgery was completed. That's truly a blessing and I was so worried about that.

So I have so much information that I'm going to share on my blog and it chats! My goal is to keep moving until I hit goal and never balloon back up like that again.

The struggle is REAL!!!

Aug 16, 2013

This getting back on track thing is so hard but has to be done. When I tell you the struggle is real out here with food. I notice when a stress I turn to food and that's not the answer. I've even ordered diet pills but then ended up trashing them after reading the side effects and plus I'm on high blood pressure meds for my kidneys. I'm not trying to die just to look skinny. So there goes 90 bucks down the drain.

I'm just going to stick to meal prep, drinking water, and cardio, cardio, cardio. It help me before and will help me again to rise to the top once again. I know 30 pounds don't sound like a lot but it sure is when you trying.

Everyone saying I love that thickness on you BUT my cloths saying you can't wear that. To tight, To small. And I have to many cloths to be going to buy a bigger size. That's when you accept how you look and feel and get comfortable. NOT RIO!!!!!!

Getting back on track!

Aug 05, 2013

I'm so excited that I'm slowly getting back on track. I'm doing meal prep, doing my protein shakes, cutting out fast foods and picking healthier snack choices.

Also back in the gym and going hard. I'm up to one hour of cardio and will be starting the gym in the mornings before work and also going after work starting on 8/12/2013. No excuses for me not to attend the gym when my job have a full size gym and I also have a membership to Planet Fitness. When I feel bored I go to the gym. It's only a 7 minute drive from my house. Going to the gym helps me mentally and is so relaxing to me.  Down just 3 pounds but that's a start.

Can you say I'm excited and really going to push it. My 34th birthday is coming up on 9/12/2013 and I would like to be down 10 pounds. I know I can do it and maybe more but starting with small goals is the key. I will keep you guys updated on my progress.

My highest... (Salty Face)

Jul 25, 2013

So I've reached my highest weight since my surgery 5 years ago. I'm back on track and focusing on loosing that 30 pounds I've put. I'm at 250 and need to get back to 220. I'm back on my shakes for breakfast, cutting out all sweets, no fast foods, and I'm in the gym hard with cardio. My goal is to burn 1100 calories every time I hit the gym.

I know I can do this and I've come to far to balloon back up to that big guy I use to be. No way, No how. So I'm starting this journey and I'm riding it till I reach that 30 pound mark. Who knows, I mite even push it to 40 pounds. But one pound at a time.
