CarmenLeAn 99 Posted June 10, 2014 Life has gotten in the way the last 2 months. I was unable to take care of me the way I was supposed. Not exercising, not enough Protein all sorts of things. I gained 8lbs. Now 3 weeks ago I was sitting here crying feeling like a failure. I'm back on track in the last 3 weeks. walking 3 miles a day, getting my Protein and Water. I have lost those 8lbs. I haven't had a fill in two months.I go for one tomorrow. There will be no great loss, but no gain and I realized I'm good with that. I can't beat myself up for no being able to take care of myself (I was the primary care giver for my MIL the last 3 months and she passed a month ago). I've lost 60lbs since surgery in November. One hundred total since last May. When I think of it that way I'm pretty proud of how far I have come in the last year. So now onto the NSV. I can ride my bike without the seat hurting my rearend. Pretty happy about that. I haven't been able to do that in about 3 years. So all in all a good week for me. Thanks for listening. 6 2muchfun, dylanmiles23, Lady VS and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2muchfun 8,927 Posted June 11, 2014 Some of us have voluntarily taken months off and got back on the bandwagon. It's really not that difficult to do once you commit to it. 1 Sharpie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
