The thing I said would never happen again

-
Well it happened, a while ago actually. When I first started losing weight 5 years ago, I swore I was never gonna be back at my "before" weight, my heaviest weight. Well, I'm back, actually I have been back for a while. Not gonna lie, pretty mad at myself for that. It's not like anyone else did this to me, this was all me and my doing.

Which is why I am nervous/excitedly looking forward to starting the 21 Day fix on Monday. 21 days of daily workouts, clean eating, and daily super dense nutrition shakes. I know there will be hard days, which is why I already have the menu planed out, and why I will be cleaning out the fridge this weekend, and prepping all my food ahead of time. And checking in with you guys often. I give you guys permission to call me on it. Permission to  remind me that the apple strudel at the coffee shop is not on plan. Permission to remind me that the workouts are only 30 minutes, and there are modifications. Permission to remind me that TV only comes after the workout is done and the food is laid out for the day. And Permission to remind me that my mental and spiritual health is just as important to being the healthiest me as my physical fitness is.

Welcome Back and Hip Surgery updates.

It's been a "little" while. As in a long while. And while so much happened in nearly 4 years since my last post, I will save all that catching up for another day. One of the biggest things though is that I had hip surgery earlier this year. I've gone through a lot and I have learned a lot too. In the coming weeks I will be sharing more details about the diagnosis and surgery itself, as well as some tips and tricks I learned surviving the time at home while living alone. For now, however, I just wanted to say "Hi, I'm Back, I've missed this",  and share my week-by-week updates from weeks 1 through 10.  January 20 :  I am HOME! It was a super early morning full of anxiety and nerves. Things rolled super smoothly once there. Pre-Op nurse got the IV started. Surgeon in and reviewed the planned surgery and left his initials on my hip. Anesthesia came in and cleared my airway and went over her part. OR Nurse walked me back to the OR, got me all settled on

victory?

It's the little victories right? You know the ones where you get to the gym and realize everything is in your gym bag except your...sports bar. And yet you decide to put in a 20 minute workout anyway. Yes it's true I could have just gone home and changed there and gone back, but I was so tired that if i had done that i wouldn't have gone back at all. So I stayed and worked out in my normal bra, choose to get on the recumbant bike so I wasn't bouncing around. But yay me I had packed a gym bag the night before and actually remembered to have it in the car!!! So tomorrow would be my normal weigh in at weight watchers day. But since this week I am working day shift on thursday I have the opprotunity to go to the thursday meeting with Jenn! I like going to meeting with friends. It makes it way more enjoyable. I am so honored that I was the catalyst to get Jenn to join but at the same time she continues to push and motivate me. As does the Biggest Loser weigh in I am watching

5% and Goals

-
I am sitting here feeling the urge to blog but not really having any idea what I wanted to blog about. So I came up with 2 things and now I am gonna share them with you. So when you join weight watchers they have all these goals for you. First 5%, 20%, 16 weeks, 25 pound medallions. And your ultimate goal weight. It took me a while to get to those 5 and 10%. and I still haven't quite gotten to my 25 pound marker. But I know that I need to keep my goals small. So I am just going from 5% to 5%. Of couse each time that becomes a differant number, but that is my goal. You also are supposed to set an ultimate weight loss goal sometime with them, I haven't yet. And I am okay with that really. Because I ahve a goal but I don't. I have a number that is right in the range of all the charts and graphs and guidelines. But I don't want to focus on that number, not yet, adn maybe not all. To don't wanna get so focused on it that I lose sight of the bigger picture, my health. And
