3 Months Out

Feb 04, 2013

Hard to believe it's been 3 months already.  I am officially 199!!

We went to an indoor water park over the weekend with the twins, and it was so different than before.  I didn't feel fat, granted, I didn't feel skinny yet, but I didn't worry about how I looked.  Mentally, I felt great that I lost 50lbs.  I didn't mind being in my bathing suit and it didn't feel as though I was packed into a suit that was too small.  I can't imagine walking up all those stairs as many times as I did and huffing and puffing along the way.  I probably would have done it once, not 4 times in a row.  

I will say, trying to find things to eat was a bit of a challenge.  I brought protein drinks along for the trip, but didn't want to drink them.  I found hard boiled eggs at the little store, but easily fell into the trap of eating junk because it was available.  As busy as we were, it was next to impossible to get all the liquids in as well.  We ate pizza twice, and snack foods, but clearly it was in moderation.  One night we went to the steakhouse and it was perfect for me.  

Blood work results are in and I am a little low on B1, so I will need to add B1 daily.  I've been taking 3 B12 pills a day, that was high.  So I will need to adjust my vitamins a bit.

I went shopping in my attic and was surprised to find so many clothes that I saved.  Some were new with tags in a variety of sizes... Jeans in size 8, 10, 12 and 14... shoes that I hadn't been able to wear since I had the twins... I was excited to see some of the clothes I had been keeping for years -- granted some of it will be donated as I should never wear mini skirts again.. but it was fun to see some size 7's in the bunch!

Looking back on the past 3 months since having the surgery... I wouldn't change a thing.  I am feeling great, and can't wait to see myself when I am at my goal of 125lbs.
