Finally found some time to update!! So in the past several months, I made GOAL!!! I wear a size SMALL (tears in my eyes) top and a size 8 jeans. I'm LOVING nursing school and I was elected Co-Vice President of the Nursing Club and I feel VERY honored and I hope my peers will like the way I perform my duties. All my 1 years labs are PERFECT also. My next project is getting a thigh lift done because my legs look like a Shar-pei (YUCK) and I'm hoping to do it this summer inbetween semisters at school. So I'm still around, just not posting as much because I go to school full time days and I work full time evenings in the PACU still. Life sure is GRAND!!!

Ok, I'm totally hooked on road bike riding and this past week did 39 miles and my time was 2.5 hours. I think I'm going to try for the "century ride" this comming September. Also another GREAT thing happened today...I was dress shopping for an up comming wedding and I achieved my personal goal...size 8 pants and a size 8 dress AND the scale finally moved after 2 months of going nowhere...down 2lbs!

Today I did bike ride #2 with the Tour De Force (6/22/08). It was the Chris Surrency Memorial Ride and I completed the course of 37.5 miles in 3 hours!!! Only one minor incident though I got bumped by a car, fell off my bike and got some nice road rash on my right knee It's alittle swollen and bruised, but I'm just so proud of myself for finishing the ride and making such a good time. I'm so happy I took up bike riding I HIGHLY recommend it!

I actually did a 25 mile bike ride on 6/1. I went up every hill without stopping and to this day still can't believe did it. On 6/22 I signed up for another ride, this one is 40 miles and should be easier because there's no hills, just a nice road ride.

Ok, so I'm 7lbs from goal and totally in shock. I keep hopping on the scale and seeing those wonderful numbers 157lbs. I don't remember the last time my weight was this low, maybe Jr. High School?? Anyway, my sister-in-law talked me into doing a 50 mile bike ride on 6/1/08. I've been working with my trainer to get into riding shape. I also bought myself a nice new Fuji 400 road bike with the lovely little stimulus check from the government. I feel pretty confident that I'll be able to complete the ride and I'm hoping to do it in 5 hours.

That's what my surgeon called me this past Wednesday 4/16 when I went for my 6 month checkup. My labs are all PERFECT and I have an EWL of 87% so far. I'm the happiest person around right now. My next personal goal is to fit into a size 8. I'm hoping and going to try to achieve it by June.

Well I got brave at work today and tried on a size small top in scrubs and it FIT!!!! I NEVER in my wildest dreams thought I would fit into a size small in this lifetime!! So within a 2 week time span, I fit into size 10 jeans and a size small scrub top...life sure is good!!!

I haven't posted an undate in a LONG time :( Well GREAT news....I am now in a size 10 jeans!!! I can and actually did shop in stores like Express and The Gap and I fit wonderfully in their clothes. I'm also only 18lbs till my goal.

Ok...so I hopped on the scale this am and as of 5:45am today I am officially back down to my all time lowest weight (which I achieved with the lap band) of 174lbs!!!!! I am so happy I want to run upstairs and wake my husband up, but I don't think at this hour he will be sharing my joy LOL!!!

Yes I did it....179.5 lbs today and considered overweight with a BMI of 29.8 as of 5:45am this morning!!! I'm grinning from ear to ear and doing alittle happy dance!!! Also as another added bounus...I fit into MEDIUM scrubs at work today!!!!
