I am 2 days from being 4 months postop, and I'm halfway to my weight loss goal as of this morning! So excited about that!
On the downside, I'm publicly admitting that I've not been good with my exercise lately. I'm not sure why, and I don't have a really good excuse. I guess it's my m.o. to slack off after doing well for a certain amount of time. In fact, I think 4 months is the longest I've ever stuck with a healthier lifestyle. Coincidence that I've been trying to lose weight now for about 5 months? Typical, I say. So, I'm making a renewed effort. Hopefully I'll start getting some more energy again because I've been kind of low on that lately too. Also making a renewed effort to make sure I get all my vitamins in.
That's all for now. As a fellow blogger says, here's what to do: eat healthy, move more, and work on the head stuff. Rinse and repeat. (Or something like that.) There is no finish line.

I'm the smallest I've ever been...
... since I've started seriously trying to lose weight, that is.
I finally reached the weight I lost down to the last and only time I had such a big weight loss! Reached that weight and passed it. So now, every day, I can say I'm the smallest I've been. Love it! I am so close to the 100s I can taste it!
I've been in a big of a mental funk the past couple of weeks. I think it's because I'm so close to the 100s. That is such a big barrier to me, and I so want to bust through it. But being who I am, I doubt myself. So I'm working on that.
I'm also still struggling with my exercise. For some reason, my energy level has been quite low for the past month. I need to get my butt back to the doctor to get my blood work checked again. It started a few weeks ago when I had such an awful cold, and I think I just never bounced all the way back from that. My work schedule has been kind of hectic too, which hasn't helped. I'm exhausted. So, looking for a way up and out.
Eating has been fine. I still have my ups and downs from day to day, as far as how much I can eat. Some days, I can eat a lot, which scares me. Other days, I can't eat much at all. I'm making good food choices, so I still feel good about that. I did go out drinking one night, and I was able to have more than I thought I would be able to! So, I'll have to be careful there. I have read in a couple of different places that there is a higher incidence of alcoholism in post-op gastric bypass patients starting about a year after surgery. So that's always in the back of my mind.
That's it for now. Thanks for checking in!
