13 Weeks Post-Op

Aug 30, 2009

I can't believe how fast time has gone!  I also can't believe how great being smaller feels.  It's the little things like sitting on the floor and having both kids sit on my lap while I read them a story.  That's the types of things that make me the happiest.  Instead of changing Ryder on the bed, I get on the floor with him and do it.  The whole feeling is amazing.  Yesterday I took Garrett to the fair, and we did some horse betting, along with taking him back on the rides and I wasn't exhausted from 5 hours of running around.  (keeping up with a 4 1/2 year old can be allot of work!)  He was a trooper running around until I wore him out and he told me he wanted to go home!  Imagine that!

As far as stats go, I'm not losing as fast as most (according to my nut) but she's OK with that.  I look at it like I've lost 43 pounds in 13 weeks and I'm super happy with that.  This morning I got on the scales and weighed 204 and that is starting my monthly "gift", so I'm guessing at the end of the week it will drop more.  I can't WAIT until I hit the 190's!  I'll be finding a way to celebrate that!  I went to Fashion Bug Sat and bought size 18's and XL tops.  I'm on my way!  It will be cool to not have to shop the "plus" size, but the irony is, Fashion bug has now combined both!  Go figure!  I didn't get the glory from that, which I was hoping for.  Oh well, that's the way it goes.  On the other hand, I'm glad there not singling out plus size people anymore.  I guess it's all relative on how you look at it.
