This is incredible!

Apr 27, 2010

Every morning, I used to get up and think about how tired I was.  All day, I was tired.  I couldn't wait to get back in bed at the end of the day (or middle of the day sometimes).  Sluggish didn't even begin to cover how my body felt.
NOW, I practically jump out of bed! 

I can't wait to get to the gym.  I look forward to going to the mall to window shop as I walk lap after lap without getting tired.  I am awake (really awake) all day at work and a nap is not in the forefront of my mind.  

Can someone say ENERGY!  I knew that I was making a huge life change in having the surgery.  But with every pound gone, I feel like I am turning up the energy dial.

Saturday night, I went dancing.  That's right...dancing!!  And I enjoyed every minute.  All 127 of them!  I haven't danced in years because I felt too tired and too fat and too blah.

If I can do it- YOU can do it.  Now get out there and MOVE!!!

Down 3 pant sizes!! O M G !

Apr 14, 2010

Pre surgery I wore a 24W in pants....today I am wearing (as I sit typing) a size...wait for it...here it comes...

18!!!!!!!...regular...no W after it....no stretch in the material.....just an 18 jean. As you can imagine, I am walking on a cloud today!

I am in love with these pants...for now.  Thankfully my aunt lost a lot of weight and gave me a ton of pants...18's, 16's and 14's.  I am almost six feet tall, so some of them might not work length-wise, but I am happy as a clam!


Now...I am working on getting rid of my "muffin-top."

Yay me (and go, you!)

More than I could have imagined...two weeks out

Apr 09, 2010

Yesterday was two weeks post-op and today I went to the dr for my follow up.  I am down 23 lbs from my last office visit and 19.7 lbs down from surgery day!

That is 21% of my excess weight!  The dr said I am a month ahead of schedule (which is funny since I am always late). 


I have been working out and just started soft foods.  I feel great and go back to work on Monday.

Love,

Rebecca
