The countdown has started...5 days!

Dec 31, 2008

It's a New Year...a new start for me.  I can't wait, finally it seems like the end is in sight.  I have 5 days of fatty, unhealthy life left.  WOOHOO!!

I haven't been in the big "hurrah" stage, as in, omg, this is the last time I will be able to have something, so I have to eat it.  I've been pretty proud of that.  It's been a bit difficult to resist all these dang cookies and cakes and snacks that the holidays brought.  This was possibly the worst time to try to lose, lol!  But, again I've resisted and was able to lose some prior to surgery.  I joined Curves, and I really like it.  It keeps me upbeat, changes it up a bit, and before you know it it's been 30 minutes and you're done.  I feel pretty awesome afterwards, too. 

Tomorrow I have to travel to John Hopkins for my anesthesia clearance.  It kinda sucks to have to travel all that way for just one test, but I'll do whatever I need to do for the safety of my surgery.   

I received an email from the nurse practioner of my surgeon, Dr. Steele.  She was wonderful and wasn't even in the office - but just wanted to answer any questions I had and give me some support!  I emailed her with the questions I of course had (don't we all, all through this?) and she emailed me right back, answered all my questions - just was wonderful.  It felt good to know they're looking out for me.

So I'm on my way...just a few more days, please keep me in your prayers!
