It's all about perspective.- Gratittude is good.
I was starting to stress over my crazy schedule which is funny given that things have been crazy since October.
If you would have told me last June that I would be distracted by a major life change other than losing weight, I would have thought it was impossible. What could be bigger or distract me from focusing on the fact that most of my stomach is gone, especially since I still pay the bill for the surgery every single month?
October= presentation at professional conference, Job opportunity and application, gall bladder attacks while traveling
November= another professional conference, job interview with less than 1 week notice, plus extra duties at work, gall bladder attack while traveling
December-February= prep house for sale and negotiations for new job, gall bladder attack in December and in February while at work (had to be taken home)
February-March= sold house, must move to temporary lodging and have house contents sent ahead and stored, major work deadlines, gallbladder surgery (yay!)
April= recover from surgery, find new place to live in new state and wrap up work (finally weight loss slows down)
May= move into 6 month rental before I purchase by end of year
I'm very blessed and grateful that I managed to lose alot of weight during this time. I've lost almost 80 pounds since month 3. My April slow down is fine. It is what it is. I'll get back to my norm. It's all about perspective. I'm giving myself permission to not stress over it. Protein, water, exercise. I'll do what I can and enjoy these last couple of weeks in my home state.
BTW, I know that the weight loss made all of this drama easier. For that I am very grateful.
