Belated 6 month surgiversary update
Ok, horribly stressed and busy, but I missed updating for my 6 month surgiversary! This last month has been pretty crazy and I have tons of stress in work and with family. My exercise and MFP logging routines were put to the test! I am not perfect; I let stress derail me a time or two...but only for a few days here and there. I have gotten back to setting mini goals (like walking every day at lunch time again, or logging for an entire week at a time). I am doing pretty good!
Only lost 5 lbs total this month, but that was with a definite derailment/stall smack in the middle of the month for about 2 weeks. I bobbed up and down 4 lbs until I finally got my butt back into gear! I am finally out of the 190's!!! Breaking through to onederland was absolutely fantastic when I did that, because that was my fattest smoking weight and a weight I hadn't seen since I quit. But getting into the 180's is SO exciting! I am a few lbs away from that 20 lb gain I had struggled with over the years from my healthy weight...that's mind boggling to me! When I used to be a "normal" girl and cut my calories WAY down for a few weeks (while smoking my butt off lol) and dropping the 20 lbs, etc. You know, the awful yoyo dieting that screwed me up royally!!
I am in a definite size 14/L...I tried on some 12's because some of my 14's are getting a bit loose, but the 12's still look snug. I was never below a 12/M in pants and always had a bigger chest so was more of a L/14 in tops (but I've lost a lot of boobies so we'll see lol!). I did finally go and try on some new bras...I was up to a 42 D. I tried on a few different sizes and am back into a 38D (the C cup did NOT fit correctly!). I was always a 38 in the past, so it's nice to be back down to that!
I still have to take my comparison pix...just haven't had time, but here's a picture my DIL took of me this past Saturday when we were hanging out at the Water Club at the Borgata in AC (we had a wedding down near AC the night before and stayed over at the Borgata). Still getting used to my new haircut but it definitely looks better this length while it's falling out!
