Hi there!
So after all of the lovely vacation at home in TX and then staying in the cabin in Estes Park with my fiancé and his Aunt and Uncle, I am back to the grind of working and I start class again next week. One thing that is very different from before vacation, however, is my eating habits. I am proud to say that I have packed my lunch every day I have worked since being back from Estes Park AND I left a box of protein bars and some greek yogurts at the house where I nanny to ensure that I have ZERO reason to buy food out or make poor choices. Since I have been on the straight and narrow now for about 2 and a half weeks, I literally feel better every day. And perhaps TMI (but helpful for other bandsters to know), since I have been eating a lap band diet and what I am supposed to, my BMs are much better and regular. I weighed myself yesterday morning and I have lost a total of 10.5lbs since my lap band fill 2 and a half weeks ago, which feels great. I also just found my charger to my fitbit bracelet so have it currently charging and can begin wearing it again tomorrow. I am still journaling which is very helpful too. I have not been able to swim everyday like I did when I was at home in TX because of my nanny schedule, but I swim when I can and have been taking the baby for long walks at the park and trying to keep active when possible. My next fitness goal; try a spin class AND to stop taking the elevator in my apartment building. I am on the third floor and I told myself when I moved in in January that I would ONLY take the elevator when I bring home groceries etc, but I have found that I take it more often and out of habit. My next food goal is to drink more water throughout the day. I found my favorite water bottle at my parents house that I had left the last trip I was there, and have been trying to bring it everywhere, but I still need to physically drink more water. I hope you all are well, and I will update next week with more progress!
Warmly
Caroline
Well done. Keep at it!
