Oh finally WA state is seeing some SUNSHINE! Man I'm sick of rain!!

Let's see - I had my check up with my Surgeon - he says I'm doing fantastic and he's super proud of me. I'm right on track and to lose the last 50 lbs I need to focus on working out.  (not a shocker since I've been working out rarely)  So, that's my goal focus on working out, low carbs and eating right.  I did notice FINALLY the scale moved down....it's been going back and forth between 206-208 and finally it was down to 204 yesterday.  COME ON BABY we are so close too ONEDERLAND!!

I  can almost taste it! hahaha

Otherwise life is good, busy with school and work and social life.  Ended things with someone i was seeing - seems i have a lapse of about a month and half and then things fall apart. Tis life I suppose.

Check back again soon.

Oh Tuesday afternoon...had some Yellow Thai Curry with chicken.  Probably 1/2 cup total....sooo full! I don't eat rice that often if ever much like I don't eat noodles man does it take up space. 

Finally the scale moved...it was stuck on 208 then up to 210 then now 206. Sheesh! Part of my failure is the fact I haven't been working out consistently.  I blame it on this or that...but it's also cause I'm a slacker.  I did have a good excuse recently - between stress and a few other things I ended up with Shingles.  Still dealing with the effects and on some meds.  NEVER GET SHINGLES it's by fair the worst thing ever! Sooooooo painful!  Obviously you (like me) have no control over if you get them or not. haha

I do have to say I was SUPER good and didn't buy any "Evil..yet amazing" Girl Scout Cookies.  Those darn kids jumpin up and down looking adorable..."Will you buy some Girl Scout cookies..." they don't mention and also gain 5lbs!  But Alas I was good and stayed away!  Man I want those damn cookies! hahaha

Other then that life has had it's ups and downs.  Work is fantastic, social life ehhh was going good but so confused right now.

Anyways hope everyone has a FANTASTIC Easter! Lucky for me Cake makes me sick so no sweets for me!

Life after surgery is different...not only because I've lost weight but I feel different.  I feel like a little chubby caterpillar that has flown out of her Chrysalis to a beautiful butterfly. 

When it comes to dating I was seeing a guy who I thought might last but he just had to much drama for me.  My life is so busy with changes and I just don't have time for that.  I need a stable guy with things going for himself. 

This time in my life is fun....one day at a time. :)

I went on my page and was like hmmm what was my BMI prior to losing 110 lbs. I looked it up  and it was 51.6! Now I'm at 34! I'm still considered "Obese" but I'm not in the "Morbidly Obese" Category and I'm sooooo close to be just in the "Overweight" category!

This may just be a silly chart that doesn't entirely reflect where someone should be at (as we don't all have the same body types etc) but the fact that I'm no longer MO is a great feeling.  UGH 51.6 how awful....

Btw - got on the scale this morning....was at 212.4 all weekend now I'm at 210.8. ;) YAY!

Literally just 11 lbs shy of getting to ONEDERLAND and 55.8 lbs away from being at my goal weight of 155!! I currently weight less then I did my senior year of High school!!

Wow - I'm literally 57 lbs away from my "goal" weight of 155 lbs.  I'm 13 lbs away from being under 200 lbs! I have not been under 200 lbs since probably junior high.  I'm beyond ecstatic!!  There have been highs and lows but overall this has been the best decision of my life.  I finally feel like me...the girl that has existed inside for so long is finally shinning outwards!  Really loving my new life! 

I've also met a great new guy....he's pretty amazing.  He calls me beautiful and is so genuine and sweet.  I really hope things move forward! 

Anyways - for any newbies reading this - the rough patches exist - it's not without them in this journey but at the same time the positive surely out weighs the rough times.  Trust me - this is worth it.  I won't lie, there will be days where you hate it. You're in pain, you can't sleep, sipping is AWFUL, sometimes you feel like things will never be normal again and even now sometimes I don't feel 100% normal - at the same time what is normal.  I eat better now - My pain is gone and my future seems so much brighter. 

Today is a good day!
