I'm so proud of you!! I know what you mean about the lifestyle changes, my kids are still young, 3 and 18 mos, but my oldest remembers last summer and how much I couldn't do. Now she tells everyone, "My mommy and I played ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL day". I hate that she has any memories of what I couldn't do. Well, more like wouldn't do because itr hurt me or made me uncomfortable.

Way to go on the prethinking. I find thats my best way to stay on plan and you're doing it! Well done!!
