Is to exercise daily

Well, I just scheduled my plastic surgery.  It is going to be on November 6th.  My surgeon is Dr. Richard Lee from Newport Beach.  Naomi F. referred me to him.  I felt really comfortable with him.  My hubby liked him too.  He said I didn't need a Lower Body Lift because I don't have any back fat.  So, I am going to get a tummy tuck (w/ the muscle tightening) and breat augmentation.  I am very excited.  My pre-op appointment is on October 13th.  It is so strange to look back at pictures of me heavy.  I don't recognize that woman anymore.  I just turned 36 on Friday the 15th.  I feel so young and amazing.  I work out and enjoy it.  I run..and enjoy it.  I just plain enjoy being active.  I love being able to buy fashionable clothes even though I still prefer jeans and t-shirt over anything else.  I like being able to shop in "normal" stores.  My cousin insists that I buy a pair of designer jeans.  I told her maybe after I have my plastic surgery.  I really like my Old Navy jeans but I'll see..LOL!!!

We are considering moving to Couer D'Alene, Idaho..where my cousin lives.  It is absolutely beautiful there.  I just back from a nine day trip visiting there.  I LOVE IT.  My hubby and I are going back up there next month to check out more homes.  We shall see.  If it is God's will then everything will workout.

I thank Jesus everyday for allowing me to have had this lifesaving surgery.  I also thank Him for my awesome hubby who I love dearly!!

God bless you ALL!!!

A year ago today I joined the "Loser's Bench".  I truly cannot believe how fast time flies when you are actually living life to the fullest.  To be honest, I wasn't really sure I would feel as good as I do today.  I feel so healthy and full of life.  I love to exercise and really enjoy healthy foods.  This tool/gift I have been given is a Godsend!!  
It took me 2 years of battling to get the surgery.  I even had to hire an attorney.  It was exhausting, frustrating, and totally worth it!!  I would have this surgery a 100 times over to feel the way I do today!!  
I also want to thank everyone on the boards for always being supportive.  Without this board I would have given up the fight to have this surgery.  You all ROCK!!!

God bless you ALL!!!

My family and I just got back from our cruise to the Eastern Caribbean.  We had so much fun.  Today I just booked another cruise but just for me and my love.  We are going to go in September (again) to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary.  We had such a fabulous time last September we are doing it again!!!

Update on me..I am weighing in at 119 lbs for a total loss of 120 lbs.  I feel so blessed to have had this opportunity to get my life back.  And boy, what I a life I am living.  I feel so energetic and alive.

Thank you Jesus for this amazing gift!!!

God bless you all!!!
