Starting Over, Again....

I am finding that this is a reoccurring theme in my life.  I take one step forward, and then two steps back.  Since my last post, I have had many ups and downs.  I lost a lot of weight, but it was challenging!  I realize that I could have been better about my exercise, not in that I didn't go, but that I could push myself harder. I could also be better about focusing on my goals.  A few weeks ago, I had surgery to remove my gallbladder. It was painful before the surgery, and the healing process has not been pleasant.  But I am getting there. As I have been at home, healing and resting, I have realized that I am out of practice taking care of myself. Last year, during my initial weight loss journey, I was so good about taking care of me, but old habits die hard, and I have slipped back into not taking care of myself.  So I am recommitting!  I am giving myself a week before I begin, not because I am trying to get out of it, but because I have been taking time off after my surgery and I need to get back into my regular schedule before I get down to business. Plus I could use the extra week to heal and get back to normal before I start with a new exercise and eating routine.
