and still going... every day it's all about choices... what will you choose for your day....

I still exercise everyday. Take my vitamins everyday. Still don't drink and eat at the same time. Still don't eat sugar. Still don't drink soda's or drink with a straw..

 

 

 Seems like a life time ago... Woke up praying that the good Lord would help my surgeons hands and I'd make it through surgery without complications. Here I am four years later still on my journey. 
So statistics first
Highest weight 398 lbs,
morning of surgery 316 lbs,
lowest weight 159,
current weight 179 lbs.
Still fit in size 8 jeans and small tops.
And no I've not had plastic surgery.
Things I still do,
exercise everyday,
drink at least 2 protein drinks a day,
take my vitamins,
write down everything I eat
and weigh everyday.
Things I still don't do,
eat processed foods,
drink soda,
or drink through a straw. 
This is a life long journey and I'm grateful for every day of it.

 Let's see it's been three years yesterday since my re-birth...

I still don't eat and drink together. I still don't drink from a straw. I still don't eat sugar, don't drink soda or diet soda. I still don't clean my plate. I still don't eat sugar and processed carbs.

I still exercise, I still watch what I eat.

I still fit in my size 8 jeans.... I climbed to the top of a mountain. 

 The weight gain from not smoking SUCKS and that's all I'm gonna say about that

 I've officially lost half of me.... :)

 I had my set up appointment at the viquest fitness center 

My fat percentage is 22% which the trainer says is pretty darn good for a 35 year old... (optimal is 20%-27%)
I can wear xs scrubs, size 6 jeans, size 6 undies, down to size 34 bra.... 

But........................

My BMI still says 27 which means I'm still "over weight".... urg!!!

It's all good :)

 So it's been almost two months... 
I have a new snag. Ferritin of <3 and iron in the 20"s
So no food, medicine, caffiene 2 hours before my iron supplement and 2 hours after...

Weight 163 pounds.... The fact that I've been in the 160"s since Oct 11 is very frustrating but I just keep plugging away...
The body can't hold it forever if I'm doing all the right things... Size scrubs in small is way cooler then the number on the scale. And size 8 in jeans and dress, size small tops.... Sooooo here it is
