Thanks Ginger.  I am going to miss you when go back to Texas.  Make sure that you still chat with us on the Hawaii board.  You should come to the Wednessday workout class.  Cindy kicks our butt.  You should see Katie she is unreal.

Thanks Deb

Hello, I'm hopefully going to have WLS before the end of the year.  I meet with Dr. Fowler on 10/30.  How long after surgery did you go back to work?  Just curious. 

Thanks
Debbie

Good job Asia! I am proud of you and i know you can do it...way to go

Well today makes 1 month out and I am 208! This is so amazing.  I started this journey at 240 and now I am 208 that is 32lbs down.  Let me tell you it hasn't been hard and it hasn't been easy for this month.  The easy part is the eating.  I almost have to force myself to eat however because I eat only food that I love to eat it is pretty easy.  I love to eat poke (raw fish), shrimp (poke style or with ****tail sauce), lunch meat with hummus, canned asparagus, scrambled eggs with salsa, BBQ chicken, etc.  There is just to many things that I can eat.  I am very careful about my portions and put 2 oz on my plate but most time I can only eat half.  I do eat a bit to fast however I stop eating after 5 minutes.  Once I feel a little tight.  That is it no more food for me.  The hard part is exercising.  I go for my walk with my two co-workers.  We go for a 4 mile walk M-F I go only if I am not leaving work early.  Most times I walk 4X a week.  I like doing my Firm DVDs however my children always get in the way.  The 3 year old tells me no exercising you get mad at me.  I tell her ya mommy gets mad so go watch TV in your room.  I plan on running after I hit 200 lbs.  Hopefully that will be in 2 weeks.  My Halloween goal is to be 199.  I think I can do it.  I exercise every Wed at the WLC.  Cindy kicks our butts however she is so nice.  She told me yesterday during exercises class that I kept giving her stink eye.  HELLO I don't like to exercise but I will do it.

My children are my biggest fans.  They are looking at the big prize.  No its not me looking good it is the prize that I am giving them.  1 year annual pass to the Water Park if I get to 140.  They are so excited.  They can taste it.  My husband is giving me complements everyday on how I look.  I think I need a TRO on him because I think he is sexually harassing me.  I never heard him tell me he loves me this much.  I think he is have security issues.  Now my husband is a good looking guy I don't know why he feels like I am going to leave him. 

My first goal is to be 199 by Halloween the second is to weigh less than my husband.  My husband is 195 and that is pretty soon.  Now to fit into his pants will take awhile he is a 36" waist.  I still have to do my measurements I am just lazy.  Well I up loaded my 1 month pictures.

Thanks for reading,
Asia
