So, today, I am not worrying about numbers. I am going to chill out.
I am working out at the YMCA. My favorite 2 hour plus.
I will be able to work out.
I will be able to not give a crap how I look while working out.
I will be able to do the whole workout.
I will have to take off my rings because they wiggle too much, as opposed to almost cutting them off before surgery
I will be able to fit in to my smaller car on the way home. No seatbelt issues.
I will come home shower and put on normal size clothes.
I will enjoy myself. I am a new person !!
Woo Hoo!!

Shopping today. SIZE 10 on the bottom. It is crazy. The big news is that I finally am a regular X-Large and Large on top. I just am amazed. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN THE WOMEN'S DEPT FOR ME. I can't even remember the last time I could fit into a regular XL on top. Much less a large size. I am getting ready to clean more out from my closet. YEA!!

Amazing. The last couple of weeks have been just amazing. The girls trip to Destin was awesome. I felt so much more comfortable. My new eating and vitamin & protein habits were easy enough to keep up. My only worry is that I at some junk food for the first time. Cape Cod, Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips....my fav. Those darn chips didn't make me sick in the slightest. I snacked a little more than I would at home, but this week I have been right back to my usual. Eating has become much easier. Chicken hasn't been making me sick, that is a very good thing. I have been working out. I am a little worried about my hair loss and the piggly-wiggly batwing arms, but ..... not really. It would take a bald spot to bring me down. I just amazed at how much my body changes each week. Things that were tight just two weeks ago, are beginning to be loose. There is one change I am not at all fond of though. I have been having a slight to non-existant period because of a uterine ablation. Well, forget that, now I have a small period. No biggie, but I am bummed. I thought I didn't have to worry about that anymore. Hormones and iron levels are the likely culprits. I thnk the best change is not SWEATING all the time. Walking up stairs is pretty cool too. Shopping for pants/shorts has been great. Size 12, that is unbelievable. It hasnt been as much fun to shop on the top. I really am not quite an Extra-lg yet. I would love to be out of the Women's Dept, but... I still have a bunch more to lose. Let's face it. Lane Byrant won't lose my bra business for a while. I can't really think of many bad things. I guess the normal stuff. Friends that I am smaller than now. I don't know, it seems a little off. I can't say enough about how nice and supportive everyone at my church has been. They are giving me just too many compliments. I wish my financial situation was better, but I suppose there has to be something to stress you out. Kellen is safe after totalling my car. I will take that and my sucess with the sugery. The rest will just have to work itself out. So, now I am right at 4 months. I wonder how long it will take to lose the rest.

Wow, 61 lbs since surgery, 76lbs total.
I will celebrate my 4 month surgersary at the beach. I am so excited about the beach this year. I looked at the pic on my profile from last years trip. That was me at my highest. The one fat girl in the group. Ugh, It isn't even just how I looked, it is remember how exhausting it felt. Also, so happy that knowing this year. I will be able to walk the beach. I will be able to go and do whatever I want. I won't sweat all over the place just walking to the beach. It will be a totally different trip. I weigh less than Mike (husband) now. I will soon be under 200 lbs. I am in a regular size bathing suit. I think I am ready for my girls trip to the beach. Yea!!
I guess after vacation I will focus on my next goal, 100 lbs gone. It seemed so impossible before. I can't believe that I can say that is my goal. I can't even imagine how I will feel in 4 more months.
Yea!!

Dr. Shina's scale says 52lbs since surgery plus 15 since my highest. Officially, I have lost 67 pounds. Wow!!
It feels like time is flying. I feel really good. I don't have any regrets having my surgery. I won't say it is easy every day, but I do feel so much better. I have so much more energy. My family has been really supportive this whole time. I am anxious to lose the rest.
Yea!!
