3 week update

Wow, what a busy, busy , and stressful week I've had. We had an opportunity to get out of our current lease.  After LOTS of searching, We found a house. I really really like the house we are moving to. It's in Eagle Harbor, back to the neighborhood we want to be in. And, it's in Carrollton. For some reason, I'm so drawn to that neighborhood and it just feels like "home" to us. So, we got the house.. but... we can't move in until May 1st, that's when it's available. So, then I was searching for temporary housing for the next 3 months. I wanted to find something that I can take my babies to (Muffin and Max) and a place that we had some room.  We ended up rented a house in Corrolla N.C. : )   I've heard the question.. Why did you move out there?? Well, .Why not? The good part about a short term stay here is that it's a nice , peaceful getaway for a few months, it's a couple houses from the beach and it's very affordable because it's the off season. So, Im currently in Corolla.
   The reason why I mentioned all of this in my weight loss journey update is because the whole situation played a big role in my journey this past week. There are just no words for just how hard moving is! There were a few days of packing packing packing, the cleaning, then getting things in storage, and now, unpacking short term things in the beach house. It was just a crazy week. I did terrible with my diet. I almost wish I was one of these patients that their body wouldn't let them eat sugar or carbs.. Nope, not me. I can eat anything. I think I ate a donut for breakfast one day and just waayyyyy too many carbs this past week. Lots of eating on the go. I will say that when I eat a donut or other bad stuff, I feel gross. If your new stomach is only so big and I eat a donut and can't fit the right stuff in for hours, then I start to feel quite weak. So, my body tells me when I mess up. I stepped on the scale yesterday, I only lost 2 pounds in the whole week : (  It was a mental set back but it's ok now. I'm going to get back on track. Where this house is located, there's no fast food around the corner and I have to drive a little way to get to the grocery store. So, my plan is to get back on track this week. I guess I see why the doctors tell me that this surgery is only a tool. It's so true! I still have to choose the right foods, etc. If I don't, I don't lose weight.
   I really overdid it too with all this moving. I thought I had ripped something but I think I just really overdid it. I was in a lot of pain, etc. But, I rested and I was fine.
  So, yes, I am still human. Surgery is not a magic pill or a easy way out. I still have to work hard. Hopefully the next few days will be more calm and Im able to chose the right foods.
