24 Pounds

 
Dear Diary...


Just in case you have not read it on the blog, I am planning on having weight loss surgery! I am so close to having a surgery date I can taste it! I have a goal though, I want to be in onederland! I haven't been there in years! So my goal is to be there before my surgery date, which means I need to lose 24lbs.
 
 
I am frustrated though because the tendinitis in my left food is really bad anytime I start exercising and I really want to step it up! I go to the gym & I do the tire boot camp at my house. I am watching my calories and measuring everything I eat.
 
 
For me though this is a test, I know I shouldn't look at all the pounds in a short amount of time because everyone looses differently, but this is something that is really stuck in me, I don't want to give up this goal!
 
 
Today I did the exercise bike again because I couldn't do the elliptical yet, I wanted to go 40 minutes but it cut me off at 33, that's okay though because I did over 6 miles, I was pretty proud. I then went and treaded water for a half hour. I feel good, except for my foot! So we will see....

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

  The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What  you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
