Feeling pretty darn good!!

Feb 15, 2011

 While I am tired as all get out I am feeling pretty darn good today.  I finished my first two days at the gym strong....and lost 2 more pounds which makes the tiredness completely worth it.  As of this morning I have lost 56 pounds.  Wow, I can't believe I even typed that.  It seems to unreal, unbelievable.  I know that I still have a VERY long way to go and I am not even half way there  yet but I am super close.  Another 9 pounds and I will be at my half way mark.  I never thought that I would say that either.

I remember when I was going through the beginning process, and even the day of surgery I was so scared.  Even wanted to change my mind and just back out.  Recovery was HORRIBLE, all the pain, rash, couldn't move, felt like crap.  But today I can honestly say that it was so worth it.  And I would probably do it again in a heartbeat (probably) LOL.  I was one that complained everyday for about 3-4 weeks about how bad I felt, where was my energy, I was so tired, basically I felt like death.  But I can say that over the last few weeks my energy has started to come back, I am eating better, I am more active than I ever was in my entire life, I actually enjoy going to the gym now, where before I always felt ackward.  It is a whole new lifestyle and I am enjoying it.  I hope that this motivation lasts.  As my girl Nicki Minja would say "I wish that I could have this moment for life"!!!

I have also noticed that I want to do more things.  I have been looking up parks in our area that I could take my son too and we could walk and play together.  Which is one of the major reasons that I wanted to have the surgery to begin with is so I could do more things with him.  I think we might go to the beach this weekend and walk or to one of the state parks and talk and just have some time outside.  All things that I would have never done in the past.....and I think that the future is only looking better and better!!!
