I'm still in shock but according to my doctor- I'm PREGNANT...

Almost seems to good to be true BUT after 10 years of trying for a second child. We are 18 weeks pregnant.

I found out last week, next month is full of lab work and ultrasounds and doctor's appointments.

We dont plan on telling the family until after the ultrasound and lab work comes back.

I feel great....Asking everyone to send prayers, and peaceful thoughts my way.

I am thrilled that I was able to loose 85 pounds. I owe it all to my tool. I never could have done any of this without my RNY....WOW....Now I just need my head to catch-up to the new ME....

I'm not sure I want to get smaller...I mean there are certain areas I want to get smaller...

Maybe 20 more pounds???

OK...So my new goal is to take my vitamins, as prescribed.  I have been off V for the entire month of November...Is there a way to make up for the loss?

Okay, so everything is going great just wanted to share my new find. Quaker Instant Oatmeal, has a weight control oatmeal that includes 7 grams of PROTEIN in each serving... 

It is pretty awesome and you can bump up the protein by making it with MILK.

Ta-Dahh

This morning I didnt want to eat breakfast, I had a shake already and was feeling pretty good. BUT I forced my self to get some breakfast.  I just logged my meals into the SPARK.com application

5:00 am - Protein Shake, Green Apple Synthrax Nectar. with a shot of no sugar added apple juice and lots of ice

7:30 am- 1 fresh egg, 1 slice of cheese and 3 strips of bacon

10:30 am- Greek yogurt (pineapple flavor) 

Once i finish this yogurt , i will be at 56 grams of protein and I havent even had lunch yet :)
 

So everyone talks about the spaghetti sauce and ricotta cheese meal....I FINALLY tried it this weekend. 

It was the best thing I have eaten in a loooong time.  I made my own sauce and served the family pasta.

I cannot believe I waited this long to try it....

Spent the rest of the weekend trying to add ricotta cheese to everything...it was really good in my eggs too.

What other recipes can I add ricotta cheese to?????

So I pulled out my suede Nine West flats, purchased last season.  I ordered them (TWO pair) a 1/2 size smaller bc I was working towards my RNY...My gorgeous brand new shoes are TOO BIG ...  

I have one new pair of pewter flats (size 8 1/2)  that I am sooooo tired of wearing.  But I'm too scared to invest in another pair....Do you think my feet are done ?!?!?

OMG! I JUST REALIZED THE WEIGHT ON MY LICENSE IS NO LONGER A LIE!!!!!! I ACTUALLY WEIGH 195 POUNDS....(TEARS)

eh...not as exciting as I thought...
