Why is it when I have a rough day I immediately want to eat? Why oh Why??
Yesterday was a crazy as can be day. It was one of those days where my three little bosses I work for were just pushing me so much I wanted to resign! JK But really it was rough! Trying to balance a bariatric diet with kids is hard! Trying to get exercise in cause having kids is not an excuse, trying to eat right and the right things. So I have been BOT and ran out of protein drinks lack of my bad planning, I didn't have one with me in the car, so I am replacing with food, however I feel as though I sabotaged myself yesterday by entering a make your own pizza place that had cookies! So I ordered a small thin pizza and had 2 slices, they are fairly small and thin but I felt soon terrible. I had a salad and 2 small slices. The kids were crazy so we ate like in 5 min and left. We got home and the drama just continued with my kids. Tiredness and whining came in and made me eat!! LOL
After kids went to bed it was me and the cookies alone! I thought about how I "deserve " them since my day was terrible!! This is why I don't buy them and bring them home cause I eat them and they are bite size so its worse! Thank goodness that day is over.
Today I can do two things. I can chose to beat my self up over my self sabotage or I can keep on moving. My friend told me this morning, dust off and keep on moving! So I am!
Here's to a new week! Happy Friday!

I have Mental Issues!!! Food and me are mentally not connect
Yes friends I have a mental issue when it comes to food! So , I have now been on the BOT for almost a week now. I had a few hick ups. One being restroom issues which I will save you the detail. I have that under control now thank goodness! Second is mentally wanting to eat even though I am full. So on this BOT I can have protein shakes all day and eat dinner at night which is fine, however, I have a emotional connection with food and snacks, therefore I want them all day!! I have been doing pretty good but man is it hard! It was hard the first time and I knew it would be hard to get back on track this time around. I mean lets face it, they didn't do brain surgery my stomach was altered. Mentally I know I am not hungry but its funny how your brain plays tricks on you ! Mean time I ordered Believe Mocha Latte Protein shakes and wow I forgot how great these are! I am down 2 lbs and well I have 13 to go to be back at pre- baby weight!! I can do this I know I can !!
Food you will not win... I will and I am winning!! Here's to back on track!
Food you will not win... I will and I am winning!! Here's to back on track!

I'm Back !! Only took me 5 years!!!
OMG!!! Where do I begin!! First off let me do a short version of my life in 5 years.... Big Breath and Go....
April of 2011 I had my son Josiah. He was an awesome baby . My weight loss from that point on was pretty quick . With Josiah I gained 40 lbs !! All I wanted to eat was meat, so when he was born my goal was to get the weight off. I nursed which helped a lot and well guess what... I got pregnant again 5 months later!! Miracle right?? Here we are from one extreme to the other.
In August of 2012 we met our beautiful baby girl Sophia. My pregnancy with her was much less weight. I learned the first time that I was only to eat enough to feed a little itty bitty baby not a grown person. With Sophia I gained 25 lbs. Our lives got much much busier as we began to balance life. I lost the weight from Sophia however I still had 10 lbs on me heavier from my final total of weight loss. I began to get in the groove of being a busy mom and trying to live a healthy diet and exercises.... Yeah right !! Everything fell to the weigh side . I did not gain any weight however I was feeling the extra 10 lbs so I started hiking again, this time with Children in tow. Boy was that hard. It was going so well, well enough that well, I got pregnant again !
October of 2014 we welcomed our 2nd Daughter Analise. Oh boy life with 3 is so much fun!! I lost all of the weight except 5 lbs. I now have 5 lbs from each child sitting on me. Was it worth it?
YES it is!! You see when I had weight loss surgery in 2009 my goal was to be at this point. The point where I could run and jump in the trampoline with my kids. The point was I could run with them outside and up the stairs cause they want to race. So yes it was worth the weight gain. But now it is time to move on and get rid of that weight!
Which brings me to today May 4, 2016- Oh the struggle with food is just that a constant struggle. After being pregnant my body definitely developed a higher tolerance. That is bad... cause I can eat things I should not eat where I could not before. I need to get control back. So what I started doing is I researched around and found a plan that would help me reset my mind and pouch. It is part of the bariatric eating website. It is great!! I am pretty excited. Although most of my food through out this regain loss process will be protein shakes and a nice dinner I am pretty excited. Will it be hard? Yes but having surgery was hard. Will I have to move and exercise? YES that is always and should always be apart of you forever. I know for sure my results with my weight loss was because I worked hard to get it off so here I am again back in the game and I am ready! Everyday I have committed to 30 min of jumping on the trampoline very intensely and well I can feel it that is for sure!
I have always said this and I still believe it. This journey is a privilege. I got a chance to regain my life back at 29 years old. I got an extension on life and I have 3 blessings to prove it. It is by my strength ? NO, but by HIS alone.. and well coffee. That is another story for another day.
Here is to the next 7 years of my healthy life!
