Leaps and pounds

Jul 11, 2016

Hello All! I recently read Chassibi's post on progress and felt inspired to write my own! I am just over 2 months post op, the first few weeks were a hard adjustment but life is pretty awesome now. I am super excited to report that I am down 66 pounds since I started this jouirney!!! (20 pre op) I am taking a zumba class for the first time and loving it! I had to take it down a notch half way through the class, but made it to the end sweating and feeling fantastic. I also got a FitBit just before surgery and have been loving the motivation I get from the group challenges. I will admit, I am VERY competetive :) My kids have gotten used to seeing me run figure 8's in the living room and kitchen. My wardrobe is a mess in the best way possible. I am right in between the clothes I hoped to wear again and the smallest of my old clothes, I now understand what everyone is talking about with the sore butt situation, but that's alright because I don't sit for long ;) I have more energy, I am playing soccer with my kids in the morning, walking around the city to various parks with the munchkins, and QUIT my crappy restaurant job! YAY!! I sometimes don't recognize myself when I catch my reflection and my husband has a hard time finding me in a crowd! Hah! I am so excited for camping this summer with the kids and bought a new bathing suit size 14!! honestly, I think I was in grade 8 when I was a size 14. I am so glad I made this decision and so grateful for this site! Alright, time to go play, love you guys! Have a great Day!!
