5 Months today
posted on 2/15/10 11:00 pm
Today was full of surprises. It's been 5 months to the day since surgery. I'm down 124lbs, 61 before surgery, and have lost a total of 50". Even writing it down doesn't make it believable! I know I've lost it, I can see it in the mirror, in the way my clothes fit and the bones that are emerging but it's still hard to comprehend!

My biggest surprise today was finding a cool leather jacket at Goodwill...a MEDIUM! I would have thought the size was a fluke, a garment that was mislabeled..it happens! But I also found a denim jacket in medium. It's just a but snug and will fit perfectly after another 10lbs but it's still a medium! The size 16W jeans I bought last week are now baggy and sloppy looking. Did I buy them too big, although they are lots smaller than the 22/24ones I was wearing. Or have I lost that much size? I have lost 4.75" this month but still, it's only been a couple of weeks!

It was such a beautiful day today. Clear, sunny skies and about 50º. Doug took me to the Bay Area Park so I could take some photos of the birds. Even a few months ago I wouldn't have dreamed of doing more than taking a few shots from the truck! Today I walked all around the park, out onto the docks and generally had a blast! The photos aren't anywhere near my best efforts but now that I know I can get around well, I'll be doing more of this. I want to really learn this camera before CCV in June.
