18 Months Later...

Jun 18, 2012

It's been just over a year and a half since my gastric bypass surgery.  A lot has changed since then.  I have not been perfect.  If I had, I'd probably be at goal by now.  I have been pretty good about taking my vitamins, but for a while, my exercise, protein, water intake, and motivation have sloooowly been slipping away.  I have readjusted my way of thinking, yet again, and I'm back on track.  I still need to up my water intake, but my protein intake is good, I'm really careful about what I am eating (and how much), I'm getting back on track with exercising, and most importantly, my motivation is back! 

At my highest weight, I was 236 pounds.  I am now at 127 pounds.  A couple of those pounds have been lost this past week (since I've started exercising on a regular basis again...go figure lol).  I've also noticed that my arms are starting to get some definition.  I still have a long way to go with toning up the rest of my body (and more to do on my arms...some is just going to be extra skin that I have to deal with or take care of surgically, later).  Anyway, I posted a couple of new pics that show some progress on my arms and the fact that I'm losing my fat rolls in the back...woo hoo! 

I'm about to go home on vacation (haven't been there in over 4 years), so I'm going to need an amazing amount of willpower to keep on track while I'm away.  I just have to stay focused!  Wish me luck! :)
