My posts have become far and few between as my progress gets farther and farther from my surgery date. Overall I feel successful thus far and I am happier with the healthier me. I have gotten a new job as a Pet Counselor at Petland and it is helping to pass the time while my husband is on a deployment. I am excited to finally see him and to reveal the progress I have made since he has been gone. I do feel as though I have let some of my old bad habits creep back in and I am on a mission to stop it in it's tracks. I am determined tomorrow to get back on track with my plan and regain full and total control of my weightloss tool. Slider foods have allowed me to start eating more than I should be able to and being on the go with a new job and busier lifestyle than followed surgery has allowed me to start making poor food decisions again. I am going to get back on track tomorrow starting with waking up early and hitting the gym for an hour. I have slacked off this week and haven't been to the gym since Monday and I feel like that was because of me working a full time schedule this week. I have lost a little over 75lbs so far, but I want to lose 25 more lbs in the next 3-4 months to prepare for deployment homecoming. To do so I am really going to have to crack down on my eating habits and exercise routine. I am determined to get back on track and promote my health. Below are some pictures of me on my journey. I don't have any super recent ones- but I plan on taking some tomorrow and updating again soon. I am about 50 lbs from my goal weight of 130lbs.
This is my 5 month front and back comparison photo:
The first photo was day of surgery, the second and third are of the swelling from my infections, the fourth was at 3 months post op, and the 5th was at 5 months post op:
The first and third photos were before surgery - the second and fourth were at 5 months post op:
