Time to Reboot!

Wow! It's been three years since I last posted! Yikes! A lot has happened! 

So how is everyone doing? I guess you can see that I fell off the wagon and I am now at my heaviest in 3 years! Things certainly came to a stand still in 2020 with this whole pandemic. We can still feel it's affects in 2021.

Let's catch up!

In 2019, I fired my bariatric doctors. I seriously had to tell them "bye". The doctor had me see the nutritionists that worked within the practice. I was bounced between two of them and never seemed to be on the "same page." I told the doctor of this and was told "I'll take care of it and make sure you only see one." Did that happen? No ways! So I told them "Bye!!"

I did manage to get a personal trainer after that. He corrected my nutrition and worked with me in the gym. I was able to get down from 240 to 231. Yes, that 230 has still been elusive! Pandemic hit and I have not gone to him since.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I have been working from home and while it's good that I don't have to get dressed, fight all that traffic, and all that other stuff, I have become lazy. We have had 2 major shut downs in the state and currently, we are in the slow process of opening up.

In that slow process and even the uneasiness of things, the gyms were closed for sometime and are limited to a 20% capacity (50% starting tomorrow). I don't know how I feel about going back to the gym. I cannot see myself in an indoor area, let alone having to wear a mask while working out. I am still not able to see my trainer in the meantime.

Then of course, this happened. As the world stood still, so did my lifestyle. We couldn't go out, the parks were closed, people we getting cited for even cutting through the park to get from one point to another.

Living here in Hawai'i, of course we rely heavily on things being imported, so much of my at home workout things were delayed for months.

Slowly its being mounted on the walls and I am just staring at it, well for now.

I have to admit however, at one point, I did hit 229, but it was for a short period of time. It was at that point, I skyrocketed 30 pounds! Not to mention I was fat shammed, so I told myself, I need to get by butt going again.

With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to try this Modere line of products. This is their Lean Body System. You're suppose to take this syrup thing in the morning (to me it was like eating straight chocolate frosting), a pill three times a day with a meal, and drink a digestive for three consecutive days. 

In addition, you are suppose to choose three habits to stick to as you go through this program.

A. Drink 5 (12oz) glasses of water

B. Avoid Sugary Drinks

C. Walk 7,500 Steps

D. Don't eat fried foods

E. Eliminate white flour, rice, and sugar

Maybe I am taking the easy way out of this one, but I chose the first three, since I pretty much already do that and I am VERY close to 7,500 its a day.

In doing this, I decided to reboot this blog to chronicle this journey, since you're suppose to take pics and take measurements. So since I've already have been doing this via this blog, I may as well kill two birds with one stone right?

So here is to a new journey......AGAIN!
