On June 2, 2012 I had Gastric Sleeve surgery in Juarez, Mexico. This blog follows my journey, thoughts and challenges regarding a lifetime of being "just a pretty face" and the road to a healthier me!

Sweating into shape

My sleep cycle has been ccrraazzyyyyy since surgery.  I have never been a good sleeper to start with and I am a teacher so I am off for the summer.  No need to go to bed early but I have days I sleep until 11am.  Have nites/mornings I fall asleep at 3 or 4 am.  Some times awake for 24 hours.  Big mess. 

I can't take Tylenol PM anymore (bad for the walnut).  I have been taking sublingual Melatonin and that has helped. I notice I actually "sleep" nicely.  I think if I would go to bed when I take it, I would go to sleep.  Oh well,  I'll get back on track by the time school starts at the end of August. 

Today I was wide awake at 6:30am today soooooooo......house cleaned, laundry started, grass cut (with a push mower nonetheless), mended my entire fence, weeded the yard and sidewalks, swept everything, shower, breakfast and DONE by 10 am.   I was soaken WET because it is so ddddaammnnnnnn diggity hot here in Alabama right now. 

I weighed after the yard workout AND......I lost 2 more pounds.  That is a total of 29 pounds since surgery!! Yay!!  My goal for this week is to lose 30 by June 30th. 2 more days to go!!
