Almost 17 months post op - getting back on track

I'm writing this to be honest with myself more than anything. I allowed my emotions and stress to control me this past year. I was so successful after surgery. I was a slow loser, but consistent. Once I moved, I was more active, however, the stress from the new job and commute took over. Then my life changed. My Dad died and even though it has been 10 months, it feels like yesterday. To throw another wrench in there, my sister ended up in the hospital 2x, once for 5 weeks recently. I traveled more than an hour each way after work to visit her. It took a toll on me physically, mentally, and affected my home life since I was never here. Now she's home and it's about me again. In fact, I have made a selfish decision to make sure it stays that way. I CANNOT put others before my health anymore!!!
I weighed and measured myself Sunday morning and broke out the journal again. I'm writing everything down, focusing on my protein and water, and walking. I've already lost almost 3 lbs. I'm hoping to be back to my 1 year surgiversary weight by Sunday then the real work begins.
Even though I gained some back, it was less than 6 lbs and only have 3 lbs left to get rid of that gain. I'm retraining my sleeve once again and I'm very excited about it. I have no regrets regarding my surgery and thank God that I can pick myself back up after being knocked down.
