10:30pm Hit the Hay

I am about to hit my five year mark of when I had gastric by-pass surgery. I have had my many ups and downs that came along with the surgery. Yes, I lost a lot of weight, 150 pounds. Though in the past two years I have began to put some of that weight back on. I am trying to get control over that and start losing again.

Though I think for me the hardest part has been the nutritional deficiencies. Which is a risk with the surgery, and was well aware of this going into it. For the first year and half I was really good about taking all of my vitamins. Then baby number four came along and my kids and my husband took center stage in my life. This is when I started being even more careless about my own health and would often neglect my own needs in an attempt to take care of my family and build a good life for them. I just felt like I didn’t have the time or the inclination to take charge of my life again.

However, somewhere in the back of my mind, I begin to realize that I was not able to cope with my life anymore, let alone enjoy the time I spent with my husband and kids. I wasn’t eating well and I was tried and stressed out all the time. A real joy to be around.

This is when I came across The Aspen Life Vitamin Packs and it has began to change my life forever.
