Weight loss is NOT easy...not even after WLS. Yes the food temptations are easier to deal with, because the alternative will literally make me sick. SO I have no issues avoiding foods I shouldn't eat. Exercise, on the other had, is still just as difficult to stick to. Before I went to work, it was easier, I didn't have anything better to do than get out and walk. But since I have gone back to work, it has been much harder. There is the craziness of getting the girls up, dressed & off to school & daycare. Then once at work, there is always something there to distract me when it is time for my breaks/walks. It is very easy to keep working to finish something up, thinking I will take that walk in just 10 more minutes...then I forget all about the walk. Before I know it the work day is over & I have barely moved. I am exhausted from the day, have a family to feed, homework to do, children to bathe & get in bed. By then I am wiped & I just hit the sack, never having exercised all day long. I have really got to start focusing on moving more. So tonite I dug out my old Leslie Sansone Walk Away The Pounds 3 mile DVD. Morgan had a blast doing the video with me. I hung in there & did the entire 3 miles. I plan to do it again in the morning after I get Clay off to work & before the girls get going for the day. I just have to remember that this WLS journey is like anything else, simply one day at a time, & one foot in front of the other.
