Merry Christmas...
on December 30, 2009 1:14 am
Well, I did it.. Not only did I do well with my eating over the holiday but I managed to lose five pounds through it all. I never doubted my ability to do it, but I traveled home to North Dakota to be with my family of seven siblings and all their families which is usually nothing more than a mess of horribly unhealthy food.  I was so pleased to find that all the junk that was around me all day and night  was not even a temptation.  It has been wonderful to drop the weight I have, 78lbs now, but truly the way I feel is the most rewarding and something I wouldnt trade for a temporary lapse in judgement.  I knew this holiday was going to be full of emotional eating for my family as it is the first Christmas without our father and we are quickly approaching the one year anniversary of his passing.  It is such a great feeling to come through it all feeling good about the choices I made.  I had planned on working out daily when I am here, but I have had another horrible flare up with my back. I have nine different birth defects and abnormalities in my spine and they flare from time to time, but even without working out I did well.  To date, I just feel incredible. Its been nice to see family which I havent seen since surgery so it has been a big change for all of them.  It is so fun to get the "oh my goodness looks" Ive been getting.  I have so  much more energy and simply feel incredible.. I greatly anticipate 2010, the possiblities are limitless and for the first time in a long time I know I am going to accomplish my goals I set every year to make better decisions for a healthy and happy life.. heres to the New Year...

Well, today I went in for my first fill and was so happy that my doctor and nurse were so impressed with my progress. I am way ahead of schedule and am down 62 total and I feel amazing!  After many praises, it sank in that my doc and nurse are proud that I stuck to my decision to go with the band when they pushed bypass from the beginning.  THAT is progress for me. THAT is what drives me in this. Dont get me wrong, losing the weight has all been amazing but it is victories like that, proving to others what I knew I was capiable of doing and that is creating the statistics that they said werent possible with patients as heavy as I started out.  When my doc was doing my fill he had me elevate both knees off the table to locate my port which was far deeper than I would have ever imagined. I held my legs out for probably 25 seconds or so as he pressed around to find my port, located it told me I could relax my legs then smirked when he said.. you do a faboulous leg lift by the way.  All I could do was giggle. I then asked him if I could return to weight training and he gave me clearance and I am super excited to try a new POWER class at my girlfriends gym which is choreographed weight training to music.  I will add that to my three hours of zumba a week. Im super excited!  I can feel a difference in my band, its difficult to explain. No pain, no discomfort it is just tighter feeling. Im on liquids for the day and return to a regular soft diet tomorrow. I couldnt be happier!  It has been a great day!
