Re-committed to the process

[dma2013 99]

So, I have had quite an adventure since having my surgery almost 4 years ago. In addition to living with lupus and copd, I needed a hysterectomy and had complications from it. My husband was diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago and struggled for a bit but is better now. My 9 year old son required what would thought would be a simple hand surgery but of course it was not! Needless to say things have been a bit crazy and very very busy!

Though I have stayed on track with my food choices I have been really bad at remembering to eat and I am not getting enough Protein or Water. My exercise has been intermittent when I find the time.

So now, things are calmer but I have put on 15 pounds, considering I never got to my goal weight this is not good.

I have decided it's time for me and time to do this! This week I will do 5 small (measured) meals a day and get my protein in. I also will do better with my water! I am considering doing 2 weeks on liquids but I'm not sure if I should do I thought I'd start with the 5 little meals.

I will also start trying to exercise each day if only for a short time. I am determined to get this 15 pounds off and eventually reach my goal weight!

This board has served as a good support to me in the past so I thought I'd use it again! I hope to make some virtual friends so we can help each other!
