able to shop at walmart. wow
on April 7, 2008 4:40 am
The wow moments keep comming.  I was told from work that the baggie look I have been sporting is so not working anymore (my job is so sweet..loll) 

I was going to go and get jeans from Cathrines ( a full figured cloth store that has really larger sizes) and my DH said lets just keep it cheep and go to walmart. the reason is I am going to not be able to wear them soon anyway. I told him I never can find my size of 34x in walmart. dont be silly  He laughed at me and said to humor him. Okay so he put me in a dressing room, grabed a pair of jeans and a shirt.. THEY FIT   I looked at the size.. 22-24!!!! and they were only 3 dollars on sale....Not only did I go down 10 sizes  but I was able to buy SALE CLOTHING. This was the most amazing thing I have done yet. Life is good. now I cant wait till I dont have to shop in the full sizes anymore. 
This year keeps getting better and better.

Finally hit a goal
on April 1, 2008 3:58 am
Yea!!! I finally did it. I hit below 300 lbs. I have not done this since I was in my twentys... I did not belive it could happen. I feel so much lighter and able to move so much better. it is not perfiect yet but so much more. I forget what it was like to go camping... stay up at a fire all night... and not die for three days doing it. 

But now I have another problem I did not really exspect. My husband is getting so cranky. It is like I want to do things and he does not. I was kind of afraid he would not keep up but I did not know he would get missable about it. Just this morning he snapped at me because I said my typical.."okay" in a conversation. said why do you always interupt me. Talking is my job and what i do. if this is going to bother him after 5 years of marrage...  I am not sure what to do. Plus I want to do more sca events and get out more. he is kind of resisting. I dont know what to do about it. I guess we will figure it out.

I survived the SCA Camping trip (more detail than form info)
on March 17, 2008 12:15 pm
Hello everone,
Do you know it takes forever to upload photes to this. I was able to upload some to my profile but if you want to see more let me know. 

I just came back from a SCA camping trip in Lumbton MS. It was the first time I had an blast at it. I was able to walk all over the grounds (Many...many times) I even left my camper husband in the wake some of the time. I was able to attend the partys and stay up late. We had fires every night and I was able to take alot of the classes. 

I was able to meet some great people. we had this fantastic camp going and partys everynight. I will say that I really cant say what happened at this partys but it was a blast. I was able to shop for dresses off the rack!!!! wow.... that so rocked. I have a new greek garb I am so in love with. since when did I become a cloths hound.
I am so thankful for this surgery now. everytime I ever went before it was a horror show. I couldnt do anything but sit at camp and get sick for a couple of months after worth. this time I was an active memember. (even got flirted with... . I was so not used to that I had to ask the gentlemen what exactly he ment by was I free that night)  

If ever you doubt that this surgery works... trust me it does. even if I dont lose another pound... it was all worth it if but for the freedom to do what I did this week. I am so looking foward to more. 

Now I am worried about my husband. He is starting to have trouble keeping up with me. I noticed it when we were walking around the camp ground and in the store. this could become a problem. I wish he would have this surgery to. I dont want to lose him in any way. His blood pressure has to be going up and with him trying to keep up with me it is becoming inpossable. I am not sure what to do but pray some kind of mircale happens with him. he is such a stubbon guy. sweet.. but stubborn.

going to war
on March 6, 2008 3:53 am
Well,,, I am going to an sca event called Gulf wars. it will be camping out doors in Lumbton MS for a week. I got to admit I am scared. the last time I went here I was sick for a week and could not do anything. this year I went out of my way to take extra vitamins and walk. I am so hoping it will be fun this year. I wanted to be below 300 lbs but I did not make it. I am close so I wont beat myself up for it. Just wanted  to make an update before I forget.

I am able to walk alot better now and dont feel like my lungs are colapsing everytime I walk and talk. it is a good feeling. but I wish I could lose faster. isnt that always the case. will see. this week should be good for me. I so need to get away from the job and computers. well have fun everyone.

finally hit a goal
on February 5, 2008 4:10 am
I finally hit the 100 lbs mark. felt like it took forever. I am told I actually did good with being just slightly over 6 months but I want it gone now. being patcent was never one of my strong points. the good news is I am moving so much better now. I just wish this cold would go away. but I guess some thing never change. like how I get sick every winter. no matter what. oh well at least I dont feel like I cant get out of bed anymore.
