I am officially, just 1 week away from having my surgery... Saw my PCP today and he gave me the all clear and sent the information to the hospital...  To think this time next week, I should b walking around the halls of the hospital... 

I am very thankful that I only have 5 more days of the protein shakes (well as of tomorrow that is)... I am finally am use to them. The first day was hard to get use to. But now, it is a lot easier. I make my shakes with my coffee and just make it into ice coffee and the chalk taste that once was there in the beginning is now gone! I found that rice milk (vanilla flavored) is actually really good. It is still a little tempting when I smell food cooking, but in ONE WEEK I have lost 10 lbs, so honestly, it is worth it to me. 

I have been having spurts of energy like I have not had before. Granted I do need to take it easy, due to have my back issue. But my house is now clean!!! I had about 15 loads of laundry that needed to be done and its finished!! All folded and mine is put away, now my kids just need to do theirs. I think the protein drinks and possibly the coffee is helping with my energy. Which, hey, I am not going to complain. 

This has been a journey in itself, and can't wait to see what changes my body is going to go through... 

I am sure I will be updating more often, as it is easier to write a blog about my accomplishments, hurtles, struggles, downfalls, and all around how life is...

I can say I am thankful to have a loving boyfriend and 2 wonderful children that will always be here for me.. :)
