I did it! Finally! I got on the elliptical! It has been a long time coming - and now I just have to keep going. Ok, so it's day 1 of getting back on track. Now I need day 4-5-6 and so on! But I am just happy that I did it. Tomorrow will be the test.
Ok - so the morning routine didn't happen. I just can't get up in the morning. So I have to do it after work and before school. Guess it's a compromise that I am just willing to do. Maybe it will get me more motivation and energy later to get up in the morning to get it done with and get my day going off to a great start!

Routine!
Now it's time to get into the swing of things. I need a routine. Not sure how I am going to go about doing this, but I am need it. When I get home from work, I just want to relax, however, I have school work and other things that need to get done. I struggle to get up in the morning any earlier then I really have to - so that's not working out for me. Ideally, get up in the morning, do the elliptical, and school work. Go to work. Come home, relax, make dinner, relax, and go to bed. But that might mean I need to get up at 6am - can I do it? Maybe I should take small steps. Start with the exercising part and work my way up to doing school work in the AM.
Fall cleaning is here. Today we are all about getting this house cleaned! Loads of laundry, clothes to good will.... school is done for today.... so now it's about moving furniture, dusting things off, washing blankets, and cleaning things out! I made a deal... Eric helps me today with all this - I will leave him alone to watch football tomorrow! Good deal I think!
This new class is hard! Business law is a lot of work. Very interesting, but lots of reading and just a lot of facts you need to know. All I can do is keep going forward and hope that I come out on top!

Life is Good!
It's been awhile, over a month but I am trying to get back to blogging. It really has helped me put down my feelings and share my thoughts. I have been up and down on this whole surgery thing. Meaning, I have good days and bad days... which is normal in life. There are days I hate food because I can't seem to keep anything down, or I really want that cupcake and I know I shouldn't. But then there are days where I do really good. I get my vitamin intake - I am doing well on protein and the weight goes down!
I finally went out this week and bought new clothes. Not many, just some to get be by right now. I got two pairs of jeans, a pair of pants for work, and 2 sweaters. Thinking I want to go out and get 1-2 more sweaters and one more pair of pants for work. I knew my clothes were big on me, but I didn't know how big. I finally looked at my whole self in the mirror and saw - I look awful in these clothes. It was time. This shopping experience was the best one I have had in probably my entire life. I am now in sizes I don't remember. It has been over 10 years since I had these sizes and felt great. I had to try on 4 pairs of jeans to get to the right size. And I didn't have to go up... I was trying on smaller sizes!! It sure does help your self confidence when that happens.
I have lost a total of 77 pounds. I was in high school last time I weighed this amount. I never thought I could do it. But now is the hard part... 65 more pounds to go... and a whole lot more exercising to do. I can't keep giving excuses - I will no longer be that size again and if I don't get up and move - I could be. I am so much more happier and I just have to keep going.
Of course there are bad days, but as time goes on - I am learning. It's a whole change. This is for the rest of your life. You have to be ready for that. You won't be able to eat like you have in the past. One of the hardest parts I have been dealing with, is when I am upset I used to go for the comfort fatty foods. I can't do that any more... I am finding a better way to deal with being upset. The best thing... going for that walk!
My second class is coming to an end. I have 1 assignment left and then I am on to Business Law. Six more weeks of school then I am taking a little break.
I feel good. I am happy and I am staying busy. That's what I wanted. Life is good!
