Oh My! Could it really be two...no wait THREE months since I updated my blog! I guess it has! I am so sorry for those that follow me. I promise I will be better at this!
Life is full of ups and downs. The rollercoaster is a fast pace, sharp turns, Ups and downs and abrupt STOPS! I guess I did a stop and just didn't get back on. So my blog stop. I am settle down in my seat to give and update of the rollercoaster of a ride with my lapband.
November was busy with the start of the holidays. For us in our family it is not just Thanksgiving and Christmas, but a few birthdays as well. My darling daughter Kaitlynn turn 16 right before Thanksgiving. Is my baby really growing up? Where does the time go? Then, move into Thanksgiving. We had a big table of guests this year. It was nice to have so many here for Thanksgiving. This was the start of my allowing myself to eat what everyone else was eating. However, I did this is very small amounts and for the most part stayed away from the sweets. I had a fill and now I find that I just don't eat a lot of anything.
Then I had started a job with Blue Buffalo and found I just didn't like it so I left them. I missed my Saturdays with my family and family is first! It was fun dealing with all the different pets, and pet parents and I will miss that, but I missed my family more.
So, moving into December, I get a new adult in my home! Chris turn 18! My baby boy is 18 now! I also got a new job working part time in a dental office that I just love! Christmas came and we were able to share our home with some Sister Missionary's to make their calls home that day. December was my one year anniversary of being banded! What a year! I lost at least 145 lbs in the last 16 mos when I started with my doctor. The band is just a tool like I said before. It is what I eat and do that helps me in my weight loss. December also marked my weight in the 100's! So happy about that! I think I love the month of December. I can mark my goals during this month before the new year!
Because of the last few months with a new job, weather and my neck giving me some problems, working out was not at the top of my list. So I stayed now at the same weight that I was in Dec. when I went and visited my Dr. I am trying to get my neck better, so I will feel better and get to working out again. I don't want to go sliding down and gain my weight back!
Weight maintenance is harder then loosing it! I would love, LOVE to loose the last 20lbs I need to. I feel in time, it will come. I just need to get my neck feeling better so I can feel better. Summer come on!
That is my ups and downs for the last few months. I promise I will be better at this again. Maybe Mondays should be my blog updates. Hugs to all!
