Late.... 1 year anniversary

Dec 23, 2010

I haven't posted in awhile because I've been preparing for ankle surgery. My anniversary was 11/16/10 and I've lost over 100 lbs. Not sure of actual weight today because I'm sporting this big black  boot. I haven't been able to exercise much since 5/2010 when I broke the same ankle for the second time but I still managed to shed a few pounds. I had to watch my food intake dilegently in order to continue to loose. Freaking potlucks were everywhere at work but I managed to say "No" most of the time. At 10-12 months I would bounce from loosing and gaining the same 5 lbs. WTH??? That gain drove me crazy but reading other posts on OH helped me realize that I needed to shake things up and switch up my diet. I started logging my food on myfitnesspal.com on my droid and looking where I could cut calories. My surgeon believes that I "may" be able to skip the second surgery on my ankle if this surgery was completely successful. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'm ready to enjoy walking & working out again and make it to goal. My weight goal right now is 185 ish. I'm 5'10" with large bones so that'll be good/healthy for me.

Needless to say I am very happy with my health, despite the ankle problem. I feel good inside and look good outside so that's a win-win situation for me. I no longer shop plus size stores unless they have 12-14s and even then I just don't want anything associated with plus size anymore. I enjoy shopping where ever I want to.

I posted some new pics and plan to post more soon.

I wish everyone Happy Holidays!

My family is having a Gumbo throwdown. I plan to eat light and play hard(well as hard as I can with this damn boot, lol) during the holidays!

Until next time.
