Spring has sprung!

Spring as sprung in Alaska!  Yesterday was one of the most beautiful days this spring.  We brought out the deck chairs, bikes and side walk chalk!  In the morning I went for a run with a friend and in the evening I went for a walk with Julia.  Now I face a challenge I have never had before.

I need to STOP loosing weight!  About 4 pounds ago I was perfectly happy with my weight.  My face was thin but not too thin, my arms look a little skeletal but not too bad.  I had been the same weight for about a month or so.  Now with the warmer weather and an increase in activity I am starting to lose weight again.

I look in the mirror and I don't look healthy.  I talked to my Dr. and she said to really pack in the protein.  Easier said than done. Protein fills you up and most of the high protein products are very sweet and gummy bars.  I can choke down about 1/2 of one but that's it.  So if you see me offer me a piece of steak or chicken! LOL!!

I know to some of you this might feel like I'm rubbing it in that I'm having this problem. That's not what I'm trying to do.  I'm just trying to relay my entire journey.  I meet lots of women that ask me about my journey because they are interested in having the surgery and I want them to know everything I've gone through.

See....I think I look a little skeletal. 

Anyway...that's all for now.  Thank you to friends and family that support me no matter what. Thank you to my friends that help keep me motivated to stay healthy and stay active!
