Well, I'm a few days early, but I am getting this written now, because I feel so motivated to write.

Finally, finally, finally I have taken the plunge on the exersize front.  Although I did lose 6 lbs during the holidays...the weight loss has been really slow...and I know this is due to my lack of movement.  So, with the new year, came new determination to get er done.  Today was day 4...It is still a struggle in my head...nah...less a struggle, more a full fledged war, to get  it done...but I feel so damn proud of myself when I do it, that I want to make sure it is written so that when I get to those days when the lazy ass side of me is winning the fight, I can come here and read how good I feel.
I was sore yesterday...but I feel better today...just waking up muscles that have been asleep for a very, very, very long time.  I think the extra stretching is helping with the soreness...I can't believe how good it feels to stretch out those muscles...Gawd, who woulda ever thought I would say that!!!  I did look into joining a belly dancing class...but backed out...I guess I am not ready to shake my thang yet in public...that's okay tho...I am on the list for the next set of classes...and hopefully by then I wont be quite so jiggly...LOL
I am really hoping that this working out is gonna help with my upper body...back fat, and huge ol' bat wings...I have been doing the rowing machine for that...Ray says it will definately help...I hope so, because if I could avoid getting my arms done with plastics...I would be really happy.  I don't mind having the plastics when you can't see the scars, but those arm scars are hard to hide when you are wearing a bathing suit, or short sleeves, which is exactly the point of plastics in the first place.  The boobs are getting pretty scary looking...definately a full cup size difference between them...one is a D(sort of) the other is a definate C...it looks a bit retarded in bra's...but only Ray and I can tell.  The hip flab still looks pretty bad, because of the old tummy tuck...but I know plastics will help that area as well...my butt is about as flat as a pancake...
Ray wants me to start wearing lingerie for him...but I feel a bit rediculous in it...Oh well...better flat butted, flabbed out in the hips and the boobs looking how they look now...Rather than how they did look before.  I promised Ray one year of working out...then he promised plastics...Pretty hard to turn that down.
I told another cousin that I had the surgery...Mom figures everyone will know now...but I told her that I didn't really care now...She was pissed cuz she said it made her look like a lier...I told her if anyone said anything, that she should just say that I had asked her not to tell...and that is the truth...so she just needs to get over it.  It was nice being with the family at Christmas time and I was NOT the biggest person there this year...Woohoo.  I do feel for my cousin Peggy...she is pretty big right now..but she is also pregnant so after the baby is here...she will work on it I am sure.  I don't think she is the type to have surgery...but you never know...she is like how I was...always on a diet...but never getting far...I would definately support her, if she decided to investigate surgery.
I will be weighing myself on the 17th...which is my actual weigh day...so we will see...I actually won't be suprised if the scale has gone up a bit...lord knows these muscles that I am building must weigh something.
