A week of victories
Aug 22, 2011
I'm 102 days post-surgery and it's been a really incredible week NSV-wise.On day 99 I woke up at the Civic from a sleep study which confirmed that I no longer have to sleep with my CPAP anymore.
On day 99 I took my son to Calypso (the largest theme water park in North America) and had so much fun. I never once felt self-conscience or thought that people were looking at me or making jokes about me. I never would have stepped foot in that park three month ago that alone have an absolute blast.
On day 100 (when I previously would have been slothing around the house because of a combination of shame and lack of energy) I went to a gathering at a cottage in honour of a good friend visiting from out of town and then over to another gathering at Fitzroy Provincial Park for a good friends' wedding reception. We were out having fun (between drives) from 08h00 and never got home until 23h00.
And on day 102 I did my Monday weigh in and I'm over halfway to my goal at a little over three months out!!!
Oh, I almost forgot to mention this one because I'm not sure if it's a victory or a pain in the butt. My friend Karen gave me a big bunch of beautiful clothes a couple of weeks ago and I've truly enjoyed wearing some of them but it appears I've already shrunk past most of them and I'm back to having a hard time getting dressed for work in the morning. Oh well, there are far worse problems. So I'll celebrate the fact that I was busting out the seems in my size 24 and struggling to find 26s and this past week I fit beautifully into a size 18.
Other than being totally obsessed with what and when I'm eating and drinking, I feel pretty fantastic.
Four more work days until I'm on holidays for 11 days. Looking forward to it and actually hoping it stays warm enough to spend lots of time at the beach and on the water.
Take care all.
