So for the past month give or take, I have been journaling my food intake, exercise and sleep. Since then I have lost 15 lbs. A combination of better sleep, eating clean and making adjustments to fit in exercise has made a huge difference. I have not been counting calories, I have done cico before and I become overly obsessive about the numbers. Keeping my health balanced has been a struggle lately. I graduated IOP yesterday and so far the weekend has been busy but not unmanageable. Decided to hold off on the Bariatric surgery for now, and see how much I can lose on my own. I have done it before, I believe I can do it again. The exercises are helping immensely. Also, I feel more balanced every day. In the mean time I will not become hopeless. I know I can do it. It will take some time but I am up for the challenge. I will give another update on this soon. My goal is to not give up, to move forward and get some weight off with diet and exercise. Thank you for reading!! —SG, Sarah Ellen, Smokey, SexyBeast,
