It's official, I took my test last Wednesday and I found out today that I passed!  I was very worried that I didn't pass.  I am so happy and excited, can't wait to start working as a nurse.  It's been a long road and it feels so good to be at my first major career goal.  Yay!!!!!

Today I stepped on the scale and saw 253.8!!!!  100lbs down!!!!!!  I'm 6 months out and am so happy and proud of myself.  It's only gonna get better from here!  YAY!!!!!!

School is finally done and I passed my clinical competency exams!!!  I'm so excited!  It has been a long hard road and to see the light at the end of the tunnel feels amazing.  I'm waiting to sit for my state board examination and then it will be official.  Can't wait to have that RN after my name!!!

I haven't been around OH much lately.  School has been keeping me very busy and have had a bit of drama in my life.  After 5 years together, my husband and I are getting a divorce.  It's the best thing for both of us at this point and I'm saddened at losing a part of me, but I know something good will come out of all of this.  It didn't have anything to do with the surgery.  The issues were there long before that ever happened.  I am looking forward to the new and exciting things that are going to be happening...new body, new career, newly single.  Future is looking bright :oD

So my scale has been totally off from what the dr's more accurate scale says.  I haven't lost as much as I thought.  I've also been in another almost 3 week stall!  YUCK!!!!  I'm trying really hard not to let it get to me.  I've been going to the Y, I'm starting out slow cuz it's been awhile since I've worked out.  Right now I'm at 15 mins on the treadmill and 15 mins on the elliptical.  So far so good.  I've also added a couple of planned high protein, good for me snacks to increase my calories so hopefully my body won't think it's starving anymore.  We went to Bed Bath and Beyond and bought a new scale that is hopefully going to be more accurate.  Now to bust through this plateau!!
