It's March, already!

Mar 09, 2009

It's March, And already  I've lost 71 pounds from my highest weight last august (307lbs.). I have been feeling lots better. I can go up and down the stairs without losing my breath. I can really get some work done around the house. I still have achy joints but hope that will start to come around when I start working out.

I had my surgery December 12, 2008. Everything went well. Stayed at the hospital until Friday (4 days).

Stayed on the liquid diet for the next two weeks, like I was supposed to. But I had a hard time staying with the soft food. I wanted to chew and crunch so much. So, I hit the solids a little too fast. Forgetting to chew enough, sometimes. Well, we know what happens then. But over all its been pretty easy. My eyes are still more hungry then what I can really eat. And I really miss sweets.  I get such a headache when I do eat sweets I'm learning.

This last weekend I took my girls and 2 other girls (Daisy Girl Scouts) and another Mom to Girl Scout Day at the Minnesota Zoo. We had a blast. We walked and walked. I would not have been able to it if I hadn't lost that weight. After the Zoo, We went to Mall of America. We went on the roller coaster and the Log Chute. I went on them!! Yeah!! A very exhausting day. Can't wait for the next time.

I'm looking forward to biking with the family and with scouts this summer.
