Hello My Oh Family and Friends,
Okay i went to the doctor on the 14th and he stated " You looked good for a person that doesn't excercise". So me....... I say " what does mean doctor Spencer" and he replied " You need to excercise. He said that he wants me to benfit as much as I possibly can from this surgery. he is not saying that I am a failure, but I really need to use my tool. I have been working so much overtime at work therefore, I have not been excercising. Time out for all that. I have to work this tool.
I have to regrouped and started excersing. I got on the scale this morning and I was down to 212. That is 72 ponds since surgery. I have to set some short term and long term goals for myself an stick with them.
My Short term Goal
-Work on my relationship w/ god
- Too lose 100 pounds
- To weight less than 200 ponds
- To workout at least 30 mins a day everyday.
My Long Term Goals
- To continue to serve god w/ all that I am. And to always remember that he is my strength.
- To fit a jr size 9-10
- Be able to wear a bathing suit
- maintain weight around 165- 170
-be the best mother/wife/daughter/sister /auntie/friend that I can be.
- Love people the way that god loves me.
Okay anywho...... until next time my friends.
Will post some new pics soon. The weight is still coming off, just not as fast as my doctor and I would like.
I still give god all of the glory and the praise because he is worthy of it.
Holla
Christmas Eve
Dec 23, 2008
It's Christmas Eve and I weighed in this morning at 220. In 4 more days I will be 4 months out. Wow 64 lbs in 4 months. i have never done anything like this before. I feel like a new person. I know that I can do better though because I have been eating things that I shouldn't. It's time to get back on the stick and remember the reason why I had the surgery in the first place.
Holiday Pot lucks at work are not good when you are trting not to cheat!!!!
Merry Christmas my OH friends and remember that Jesus is the reason for the season

Went to my support group meeting last night and was given some very informative informtion on east excercises.
I weighed in at 232, that's 52 pounds since surgery and 68 pounds since this whole weight lost jorney began. WOW!!! I feel amazing, I haven't been this size since I can't even remember. I feel like a totally diffrent person already.
In the begining it was hard and I thought to myself everyday, Why did I do this to myself, what was I thinking about? Today is another story. My god is so good and he has bought he through. I am so glad that I made this decision.
Well friends TTYL

Well, today is a good day. I am still not getting sicl. Praise the Lord!!!!!!!
I am 10 week outs and I am down to 239 from 284, that's a 45 pound lost. The scale is at a standstill though. I have to stop weighing myself everyday because not seeing it go down is getting depressing. I think that I am losing inches though because my size 16 pants are getting loose now.
Friends let me tell you about my blessing..... There was a BIG Yard sale at my church and with me close to 50 ponds all of my clothes are getting too BIG. I got 13 pair of jeans ALL designers for $13 . What a blessing. The lady that sold them to was ready to go home and I happened to be right there, What a Blessing . My God is ALWAYS on time. I also got a nice Baby Phat sweater $5 and a purple ( my favorite color) wrap dress $5. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!!!!
Well I am praying that my weight lost picks up again real soon . I have been going to th egym everyday on my lunch break doing the elipticle for 30 mins. WHEW!!!!! that is such task!. It's getting better though when I started I was out of breath after 5 mins LOL...........
Well my OH friend TTYL
