Trying to Get Back Into the Swing of Things

It has been a BIG challenge to get myself back into the groove post-appendicitis! My surgeon said it would be essentially 6 weeks to get back to "normal". Over the weekend I worked on the garage a bit; reorganizing some stuff and got ready for a expo I have this weekend coming up. I felt good during the cleaning up, but then after I was done, I could feel it in my side. So now I see where he said that I can do "normal" things, but I'm going to feel it afterwards.

I've been watching what I eat, as usual; but I am craving carbs like crazy. I am thinking it's my body trying to get what it missed over that time in the hospital. Definitely something I have to be aware of and work through.

Tonight I'm watching Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition (guilty pleasure). It's always great to see such an inspirational story. It makes my 75 pound goal just a drop in the bucket compared to what this guy lost. He dedicated a year to lose 313 pounds, wow! I can do this!!
