1 year and beyond.......

Apr 14, 2009

Well, well, well......2 years ago I went to Florida with my family on vacation and on the trip home heard a radio cast that featured  a local clinic pubbing their surical successes and weight loss patients. I began researching the bariatric surgery featured...Lap Band. Sounded simply enough...nothing I'd done had relly yielded much more than a 20 pound loss.  8 months later I had surgery. 15 months out from that fateful day I am sitting at 65 pounds lost, inches gone and several dress sizes down.

But  I am stuck. Been at the same weight for 6 months or more....the scale dipped 10 pounds only to go right back up. Why? Because I have been sitting on my butt! Eating what I want, how I want and how much I want! Thank goodness I have gained any..but sitting still is no better.  I knew this wouldnt be easy but I'm going to have work twice as hard now...I havent been the size and weight I am now int almost 4 years! So I am happy  and thankful but not satisifed with my progress thus far!

So as I pick myself up and dust off my butt and shoes and treadmill and weights...ugh..damn thats a lot of dusting....I am going to bring in spring...its seems to be draggin its butt too......with a new attitude and spirit. I am turning 40 this year....and I'd like to do it with a bang....a sassy bang....so look out 40 here I come....

Let's see my new things:

1. Loss of energy...just from being lazy...
2. More confidence
3. 3" heels!!!!  Strut girl strut
4. More positions
5. WATER PARK!!!!!!!!!!!  I could do that before but I wouldn't
6. More pictures where I'm NOT hiding behind other people
7. Shopping isnt as tedious and aggravating.... I love saying can i have the next size down please!!!
8. Playing with the kids more


Goals:
1. 400 situps a week
2. 5 days of aerobic exercise
3. 2-3 days of weight training

Beginning immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's see how far I can take this!!!!!
