I may have been M.I.A from the blog-o-sphere lately, but not from my journey. The last 5 weeks have been difficult but fruitful. On September 24 I underwent surgery [No worries, everything is fine]. Never having had surgery before, I didn't realize just how extensive the recovery process would be though. I'm still not 100%, but my stamina and body are beginning to return to normal(only with many more scars).
One of the downsides of this ordeal has been the inability to go to the gym. Yes, I can't believe I actually miss working out....kinda. By next week I should be cleared for light exercise. Until then, strolling is as intense as I'm aloud. My fear was that no gym meant no weight loss. Fortunately, this was not the case. The week before surgery I joined Weight Watchers and have been diligently following the program for 6 weeks now(thankfully, I have my Bestie as my WW co-pilot). It's great! I eat more or less what I want, just as long as I stay within my daily point allowance. And,I'm happy to report 20 pounds lost! I'm excited to see what happens once I can add exercise back into my life. Exercise means gaining activity points into my day, thus making medicinal cupcaking trips much more probable. Now, if I can only keep myself from touching the Halloween candy........
