I haven't been around in a couple of months. I ended up going in for my foot surgery on June 20th and the recovery was absolutely horrible. Way, way worse than I ever expected. Its been almost 2 months and I'm still in physical therapy, walking with a limp and after almost 6 weeks on crutches and laying on the couch with my foot up icing 30 min on, 30 min off while trying to care for my 2 children all day by myself (after hiring 2 babysitters and having to fire them)... I'm way off track, my stomach feels awful and I look terrible. We ate out far too much over the past couple of months, I was at the mercy of everyone else since I couldn't acutally stand up long enough to cook. I weighed myself over the weekend and I'm back up to 191.4lbs 
I worked hard and I was down to 160lbs before I went in for surgery in February, then I got back on track at the beginning of June and found out I was going in for surgery again 
To add to the mix, I got really sick in April and to make a long story short, I'm adding Lupus to the list of stuff I have to take meds for too.
Now I had to go back out and buy bigger pants, because I just plain couldn't breathe in my pants. I'm completely bummed, I feel awful. I don't know if my new medication (Plaquenil) will cause issues with losing weight. I'm looking back at pics from February vs now and just so, so discouraged.
Right now the plan is to start back up on Friday (I'll do groceries on Thursday and get ready). I need motivation, accountability, a cheerleader, anything. I hate that the past year has been so stinkin hard and I hate that I've hit so many bumps in my journey. I'm pretty sure its all (or most of it) in my journal. Last year I hurt my right foot, wore a boot on that, it healed... then we moved... then my daughter had medical issues.... then the winter was horrid with the kids, sick all of the time... I had surgery in February to replace an implant that I have... my 3yo aged out of EI and we have still yet to find him OT for his sensory needs... then I got sick in April, my DH was sick too... he went in for a procedure on the same day that our 3yo was having his adenoids out and tubes put in his ears... I drove everyone where they needed to be, while I was feeling terrible myself... then my 6yo (who has anxiety issues and OCD) went in to have her tubes put in her ears a week later.... then I fell and hurt my foot (because I was still feeling rotten and dizzy and fell on the stairs) and ended up having surgery 6 weeks after I hurt it. I could go on... and on.
Anyhow, I could really use use some motivation/accountability, etc. If you made it this far... wow, thanks!
