Water intake

So I purchased this pricey 40 oz water bottle from hydro flask. It’s a game changer. Water intake increasing significantly!!

My water and ice stay cold and icey all day and all night.  

Moving diet

I woke up today and got on my bike. I only rode about 1.2 miles but it felt good. Hard but good. My booty hurts. Moving and food is either all junk or starvation. I tried my best but since we have arrived back in Tahoe my food choices have been outstanding. I’m feeling positive that I’m headed back in the right direction.

Time to finish what I started.....

Where I started                Pre Baby 2017                  Post Baby 2018

In 2014 I weighed 350 lbs. In November of that year I had Gastric Bypass surgery. In total I lost 132 lbs. My weight lost was strictly through diet changes as I had trouble figuring out my vitamin levels. A blood transfusion and many vitamins later - I found myself pregnant at age 40. I had put on 14 lbs eating at my company cafe and not meal prepping and I gained 10 lbs through my pregnancy. That 24 lbs swelled my boobs and legs and I honestly feel 350 lbs. My clothes fit and I know it isn't tremendous but its enough to make me realize that I didn't do this surgery to fail. It is time now to go back to protein, veggies and exercise. This blog is to keep me honest and post the foods I do eat and hope to find other people who want to share recipes and stories and insight.

Be Happy. Be Healthy. Be Awesome.
