Let's be honest, shall we?

I decided to blog about my whole band experience, partially in order to keep me honest with myself.  So, here's my admission:  I'm not exercising NEARLY as much as I am supposed to be. Hell - I'm lucky if I get one or two days in a week.  Why is it, that this is the part that is so hard for me?  I know that if I am going to do it, I have to do it first thing in the morning.  But when that alarm rings, I just want to stay in bed.  And I know WHEN I start to do it, I'll keep losing even more weight and really become stronger.  I wonder why I am having a hard time following thru on this piece of things.

                        

The other stuff hasn't been that hard - I'm doing pretty well with getting in my protein.  Now that I bought a camelback water bottle, I'm getting in at least 48 oz. of water a day - often more.  I'm eating WAY less than I used too... and hopefully after today's fill of another .75 cc's, that restriction will be greater.  I've been limiting alcohol to the weekends, and then in far less quantity than prior to the surgery.   I'm putting my fork down between bites, and TRYING to take longer to eat my food.  The doc's office was very pleased with my progress... although the NP did remind me that exercise is one of the keys to success.  Duly noted! (with a mock salute!) And since I am going to be one of the success pictures on their wall, I think I know what the next step is to get there, right???
