    Yeah get yourself into a routine with a personal trainer doing stuff you enjoy. I love that I don't have to harness myself to a treadmill or x-trainer, but am enjoying yoga, Pilates, walking, cycling and golf. I'm not and never will be a runner, but I find the exercise is good for my mind and general buoyant outlook. Helps me avoid the slippery slide into old patterns of behaviour and a creep into decline. I'm thankful every day for this wonderful gift - least I can do is honour it by doing my bit to keep it looking good. I am also acutely aware that deep down I am still an overeater and an emotional eater. The monster in the closet that I need to know is always there and out to get me when I'm not on my game.
    You guys are heading into summer and some good weather - great news for getting the hiking boots on and enjoying the sunshine. I'm always envious of the beautiful scenery you guys have in the states - beautiful places and not too hot yet.

    What a difference a month short of a year makes. It's coming up to my 1 year anniversary. How's your life with the sleeve going now that you're over a year out?

About luke
Sleeved or not sleeved:
I have had a gastric sleeve.
Biography:
BACKGROUND:

I started at 416lbs and have most of the metabolic syndrome problems (diabetes, fatty liver, hypertension, joint pain, etc.) My doctors told me I probably wasn't going to see my son graduate. That was very motivating. My sleeve is a good tool for helping me control my portion size and reminding me to eat the best food I can. It's made me really be aware of the type and quality of food I eat and has given me a boost with immediate weight loss. This in turn solved some joint problems, making it easier to be more active! So the weight come off faster and makes it easier to exercise...etc.

Rather than a downward spiral, my sleeve has helped to put me on an upward climb, giving me the boost I needed to get going and make a healthier me.

Needless to say, it hasn't been easy. My blog contains all the details of the good, bad and weird that happened to me along the way. I have a long way to go, but I think I'm going to get where I want to be.
