11 pounds from One-derland!!!

Oct 19, 2010

So weird to see a number on the scale like the 209 I saw on Sunday.  I actually got on & off the scale a few times just to make sure it wasn't wrong.  11 more pounds and I'll be out of the 200's for life.  Wow!   

It's been a really rough summer, but things are looking up.  My mom is healing from her surgery, and my mother-in-law is such a huge help now in helping fill my mom's time. 

Our little dog is getting used to the family dynamic of the loss of our older dog, Henry.  Even our neighbors have been supportive.  Henry used to be such a high-maintenance dog, but he really wormed his way into the hearts of our closest neighbors.  It really catches me off guard sometimes.  One neighbors Scottie dog has a bark exactly like my Henrys.  'Bout fell out of the chair the other night when she was barking.

WLS-wise, I have my 9 month postop appointment later this week (so, it's a month late).  Too bad they won't let me weigh naked so I could be 209!  I'm sure fully dressed it'll be at least 212.  Oh well. 

WLS-mental-wise - I'm just not seeing my WL for the most part when I look in the mirror.  I saved my biggest pair of jeans I used to wear & put those on the other day.  My brain sees the difference in the close... size 24/26 to 16/18. 

WLS- exercise - I am sucking dirty pond-water.  My weight loss, health, and skin would be so much better if I could force myself into a gym for weight training.  But I just can't step foot inside of it.  Wish my hubby were home to just load me in the car and force me in.  I'm not sure how to get past this hurdle.  I'm scared of actually going in; scared of then getting on a machine; terrified I'll injure myself & weight will only go up.              Hmm.... well.... pre-WLS I would join gyms, do kick-@$$ workouts, lose weight, get an injury (usually neck or knees), go down for the count and gain my weight back and then some.  I'm going to have to think about that.   If I'd get into the gym at least 5 days a week, I bet I could get to One-derland in about 3 weeks.
