Aiming towards halfway goal to surgery

May 02, 2009

Well, I have had my ups and downs.  Lots of stresses at work and home with my daughter.  All in all somehow I have managed to not gain any weight and have managed to continue to lose although not as fast as I was early on.  I am now down 30 pounds!  I have 39 more to go until surgery.  I have a really hard time imagining that that day will come and I may actually be able to fit into normal clothes and shop in normal stores.  I am going to schedule my psych eval this month and try to work on the cardiologist test.  I really think the warm weather is going to be more positive for helping me to reach my goal.  I have not been going to the Y lately - we had to fire our secretary and my classes were on Tues and Thurs and unfortunately I have no coverage those days.  I will be opening my pool soon and know the routines and will work out in my pool.  I have noticed the weight loss and some people are starting to notice as well.  That is a motivation in itself.   It's really hard when people around me are eating all these yummy foods and I am eating a protein bar.  I manage for the most part but fall every now and then.   My husband has been an excellent support person for me.  I will make it - My goal this month is to lose 5 pounds - seems pretty realistic to me!
