2008 draws to a close...
Dec 22, 2008
... and 2009 makes a hasty approach! It is now time to look toward the future and what it could have in store for each and every one of us. I know 2009 marks my 5 year surgiversary of my WLS. It is going to monumental, to say the least! I feel I've done fantastic in maintaining, but there's still always room for improvement. This year, I strive to become more physically fit and quite possibly get back into ballet or ballroom dancing again. Both are really good exercise. I can't say that I'm really trying to take off anymore weight so much as I am trying to tone up and strengthen what I have already. If I do lose another 5 lbs, that would just be the icing on the cake. I am also in the process of slowly upgrading my wardrobe (again). I am going for a classy, yet understated look by day... For the night look, slightly more revealing. I am now wearing my clothes to fit me better since I've now finally come to terms with my TRUE size. I know I now wear a size S or M (depending on the brand) shirt... Size 4/6 (depending on the brand) jeans. No more size L shirts and baggy Jrs jeans that sag in the crotch. I want all my clothes to flatter me. I have even started revamping my husband's wardrobe, as well haha. I look forward to hopefully moving in 2009 or early 2010. I am going to make the most of this year! Best wishes to you all for a blessed New Year and there will be plenty more blogs to come!

Just a quick update for y'all~
Dec 20, 2008
Well, I just wanted to post a little update before I fall asleep for the night. Tyson is growing well, though still a smaller baby. He's 2 1/2 months old now. Krysten just turned 3 years old and is still small herself, at just over 25 lbs. She makes up for it by being a little firecracker. I need to upload some new photos and I will soon.
My weight is holding steady between 130 and 132 (depending on when I step on the scale). I know the good doctor would like to see me weighing more (by at least 20 lbs), but I know I don't want to weigh more than I do. 135-140 is possibly the most I'd want to weigh again ever and I won't let myself gain, so we'll see what the future brings, especially since I'm coming up on the 5 year surgiversary. I want to continue to know I am a success story for the rest of my life... this is not a temporary weight loss for me and regaining scares the crap out of me. I know too many people that it's happened to, even in my own support group meetings, and I just can't let it happen to me. I have to always set a good example for my kids.
I am hoping we'll be moved out of Oklahoma by late 2009/early 2010. (HOPE is the operative word here) I want to go back to Texas, but right now it's looking like we'll get Texas, Florida, SC, or Georgia. I'll be happy with any of these states.
I'll try to update again soon and not slack on it so much. TTYL!
