I finally did it! I am in the 100's.. it is so awesome.. I couldn't be happier.. less than three months and 86 lbs lost in total.. I am very happy. My goal is to hit 165 by May 2-4, so I've been kicking up my fitness.. we shall see!!!!

I promised myself I would update this more often.. but I don't.. that sucks

Well I am almost three weeks out of surgery and I feel great! Today is my first day back to work and I am EXHAUSTED.
The journey has been long and these past three weeks have been full of happiness and heartache.
Let's start with the happiness: I have lost 35 lbs since optifast, and 50 in total.. I can't believe it.. I feel like a new person. My clothes are falling off of me and I am having to physically restrain myself from shopping. I bought a shirt and then realized when I got it home I really should have bought the smaller size!  Deluding myself into thinking that I'll get bigger and will need to "grow into it" I guess 22 years of that being the truth has its way of ingraining itself into your mindset.
I moved into a new house and am finally getting my new room unpacked.. very awesome! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new place!
I also have dark brown hair again.. fabulous.. I love winter hair.
Bad news: Two of my friends died last weekend. They were lovely people with a lot to offer the world and it's sad to see people so young die.. driving in Northern Ontario is a death trap.
My boyfriend also got a job in Toronto so he moved away and we decided to break up because it just didn't make sense to try and carry out a long distance relationship. I am sad about that one.. but oh well, life goes on.

I FEEL FABULOUS AND LOVE MY WLS.. I can't wait to see the numbers on the scale keep going down and down.. life is good!

I have my prescreening next weekend! I am so so so incredibly nervous! There are so many things that worry me about this. What if something goes wrong and I can't have surgery? bahhh.. so nervous!

SO... I'm only a few months away from surgery. It's getting so exciting. I am trying desperately to figure out how to work this stupid ticker thing, because I've already lost like 25 lbs, so I'm super excited!

It's so funny how I can't stop thinking about surgery. It is coming SO fast I can barely believe it!
I am now deciding what type of exercise I want to do. I am vbery competitive and love team sports but am super worried about the fact that I've been overwieght and "out of the game" for so long that I won't be good enough at any of the sports I want to try.. but I am going to give it my darndest and join some "beer leagues" next summer (minus the beer of course) in sports that I used to play like Baseball and Basketball. I am also going to have one of my friends teach me how to play Extreme Frisbee becasue I hear that is quite the workout!

Ok so, I am going to write the things I want to do, and the types of activities I like and want to like by season (I hate the gym.. well at least I hate it now,,, so I imagine most of my strength training will be done at home until I feel like everyone won't be staring at me)

Untimate Frisbee (learn how to play)
Beach Volleyball
Hiking
