So, Wednesday is my birthday. I'm going to be 35 and don't have any big plans. I'm not going to go out to eat, not going to eat a cake, and just want to enjoy the time with my family.

Having said that, i did decide to buy myself a present - a slimpressions top with the 3/4 sleeves. It arrived today. At first I was skeptical. I opened it up and it seemed so lightweight and small. Well, I put it on and fell in love. It makes a huge difference with my arms, which is what I really wanted it for. I'm going to try it tomorrow at work. But I could easily move and breathe so that is a huge plus!

For me, my birthday is the time that I assess my life and make resolutions and all that jazz. Last year at this time I was working the pre op program, and I have come so far since then. I'm down almost 130 pounds and my life is wonderful. It always was wonderful, but, things are different now. I'm looking forward to the next year!

I was thinking of you this morning on my drive to work! (I also think about you everytime I eat a piece of fruit - you saying 'healthy people eat fruits and vegetables', sometimes i need to remember that lol)

I would love to some day do this. I think i'm going to start with a 5K first though!

i bought the slimpression that allows you to wear your own bra - so that area isn't compressed and looks 'normal'.

slimpressions are support wear - and some of the most comfy i've worn! I ordered it online

I LOVE slimpressions. Have been wearing them for two years. I wish they made a smaller size though, small isn't tight enough. I love feeling compressed, held together.
Happy Birthday.
