I'm excited to say that I have reached my goal and stayed at it for about 2 weeks (wanted to be sure it was for real lol) I would still like to lose a few more pounds, but if I don't I will be happy right where I am. 

I promised myself when I reached my goal I would get the lower back tattoo that I always wanted but never got because I felt that I was too overweight to have one. I have an appointment friday night and I'm sure it will hurt like hell lol.

I am so close to my goal of being "healthy" and no longer "overweight" I am a little over 12 lbs away.... YAY! I will be 136lbs when I reach my little goal! 

I am only about 5lbs away from my other goal, weighing less than my fiance. He weighs (the last time I checked) about 144 and this morning I was at like 148.6. I can't wait to weigh less than him. He can pick me up now, and I can sit on his lap without feeling like I'm going to crush him if I put all my weight down. God that feels great. I know this sounds kinda stupid but I have always wanted to be like those cute couples you see when the girl is sitting on the guys lap and he is holding her. I could never do that I weighed like 100lbs more than him... I probably would have smushed him!!! lol. But now I can do it and it doesnt matter. I love it. 

I can't wait till I reach my goal. Ultimately I would like to weigh about 120. That would mean that I have lost ALL of my excess weight. I am 28lbs away from that goal. Holy Crap!!!! I love my RNY.

So tomorrow will be 6 months since my surgery. God the time has gone by so fast. Lately the weight has been coming off a little slower because I cant work out because of the accident I was in. Stupid lady. But Yea I'm down almost 83lbs and I've got about another 25 to go... So I'm getting close. OH yea and I'm engaged!!! YEA! So now I'm planning a wedding. And I will be skinny for my wedding woohhoo!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

So I bought a new car almost 2 weeks ago, and last Saturday I got in a car accident. A dumb woman was making a left hand turn and tried to cut me off but instead hit me. So I've been out of work this whole week and on tons of pain killers. My neck, back, shoulders and left arm/hand are killing me. The doc says I'll need physical therapy. I hate negligent drivers. Luckily I had my camera on me and 3 people in my car who all will give their statements to the insurance company. The pictures I have say a thousand words. It shows that the woman, if she had finished taking her turn, would have been driving on the wrong side of the road. So she's screwed. Just needed to vent. I'll write more once the insurance company sends me more paperwork, or when they make a decision.

So I went to my 3 month post op appointment yesterday and the doctor said everything was fine and that I was losing weight the way that I should be. So no worries. I just can't wait to be where I want to be! I really am so glad I had this surgery. No regrets at all. So far I'm down about 59.7lbs. so close to 60 lol. I don't go back to the doctors until December 14th. I hope to be down at least another 30lbs by then. We'll see though.

It definitely kicked my a$$, but it was so worth it. I loved the class. It was great. It was truly a total body workout. I'm really feeling it in my thighs today man. I don't even want to keep my legs close together, the muscles hurt lol. I have another class tonight, it's a different one than it was last night, but I have to RACE out of work to get there on time. Hopefully I will love this class too!!!

So, I had signed up to a gym previously and was doing pretty good at getting there and going on the treadmill, but that got so boring (plus being up at 4:30 in the morning to be able to get to the gym for an hour before work was not fun.) Now, a friend from work and I have signed up for a gym close to work and we are going to go together after work. The gym has all sorts of classes that go on when we get out of work so we are going to go to those together. It should be fun, however I have a feeling that since I've been slacking on the whole working out thing, that tonight the gym is going to kick my a$$. So, we shall see. But I'm so excited to have someone to go with and hopefully I will start losing more than just 2lbs a week. Eh, so slow lol.

So I got on the scale this morning... and it said 199!!! I'll take that. My weight no longer begins with a 2! hooray for me!

so yea...

little excited

Well, I'm almost 2 months post op and down a total of about 35lbs. I'm so excited I'm about 5 pounds or so away from my weight starting with a 1 instead of a 2... 

However, I am having a very hard time with getting everything I need to in on a daily basis. I don't get much protein at all. I barely eat 400 calories a day ( just cant seem to get all my meals in.) And, I don't drink nearly enough water. I'm really struggling with getting my stuff together man! Plus, I keep getting on the stupid scale, so it's really frustrating when it doesn't seem to move. I've tried hiding the scale, but that doesn't stop me. I used to be too lazy to pull the scale out, now I go out of my way to get the stupid thing. I don't want to throw it out, it's a $60 scale... 

I'll write again soon.

Yesterday was the appointment for my diet advancement. I'm down to another few pounds. I'm at where I was about a year ago... The nurse said that I've lost about 20% of my excess weight, which is really good for the first month. How come I feel like it's just not good enough? I guess no matter what it will never be good enough lol. I'm back to work today and I feel really tired and kinda sick to my stomach all day. Like I just don't want to eat anything because it's going to make my stomach more upset. I've taken little bites of food here and there, but thats about all I can stand. I think it has something to do with this whole schedule change Eh.

Anyways... I'm gonna try not to step on the scale so much because it really irritates me when I don't lose weight for a couple days. 

I'll update a little later
