I'm still alive, doing pretty great. I lost 139 lbs total (so far) and I'm trying to get my butt in gear to lose the rest of it, but I'm kinda lazy and I like Starbucks a little too much. I know, I know. I'm working on it! I'm thinking about starting The Fit Girl's Guide 28 Day Challenge. Thinking is as far as I've gotten so far. I've kept my weight off through not one, but TWO pregnancies! That's right, after 13 or so years of infertility I now have two kids. Crazy. So, I have the surgery and subsequent weight loss to thank for that. They were tough pregnancies that ended in two preemies with long hospital stays, but I'm happy to say that today my husband and I have a brilliant, healthy and amazing almost-three year old son and an equally awesome 14 month old daughter. I'd kind of come to terms with the fact I wasn't going to have kids then BAM! Two in a row. That's it for me, though. NICU stays suck and I don't trust my body to get it right a third time. Plus I'm old. Anyway, that's where things are now. I'm a stay at home mom/writer and my husband recently got his dream job in the video game industry so we're excited about that.
