So, the last time I posted, I was going to get my tummy tuck!  Well, let me tell you what happened.  One month later, I broke my foot.  I was in a cast for 12 weeks!  I wanted to get back into activity again so that I wasn't so droopy where muscles used to be. On January 23, I have my next surgical consult.  The surgeon who did my RNY is doing my tummy tuck! 

I am so excited, I can hardly stand it.

My friend Annie, is having hers soon.  I can't wait to get updates from her!

Will keep you posted!

Life has become enjoyable again!  Have you felt that?  I have decided that I am ready for a tummy tuck and hopefully a breast reduction.  I am happy the way I am.  I am happy with the way I eat... I am just happy!  I do my Kardio Kickboxing 2-3 days a week (my husband took a class - he's a runner - and he had a hard time with it).  I do Karate twice a week.  I don't plan on stopping any time soon.

My personal goal for weight loss was 150 lbs.  I didn't make it but I don't care.  I am content! Honestly, I think with the tummy tuck and breast reduction, I might make it to 150 lbs!  I have an appointment with Dr. Wilcox in July.  I will post more then.

A year has passed.  I have lost over 94 lbs!  I play with 2 - 3 lbs now, especially after the holidays.  I am into a lot of things these days.  

For example, I just started Kardio Kickboxing (yes it's spelled that way... hehe) and taking Karate lessons. I have a "white belt" in both.
I am still President of the PTA where my son goes to school.  I am still doing Arbonne, websites and so much more.  It's hard to keep up.

My good friend Annie is going to have her surgery with Dr. Wilcox in the morning.  I am so excited for her.  It got me thinking about my surgery.  Most days, I don't even think about it.  Today i am nostalgic.  I called her after she "drank the drink."  She is so ready and in great spirits.  It reminded me of me.

I remember having second thoughts.  I was hungry the morning of my surgery.  I wanted a corned beef sandwich.  As I was laying on the table, I thought, 'I am going to tell them that I have changed my mind.  I just want to eat a corned beef sandwich, they will understand.' 

Lucky for me, they had given me the "sleepy drug" while we were waiting for the pregnancy test to come back (even though I had a tubal ligation).  When I woke up, they were calling my name and telling me to wake up.  I was thrilled that I never backed out but disappointed that I wouldn't get to even taste that sandwich for at least 3 - 4 months!  

I wonder if she will have a last moment of doubt.  Looking back, I wouldn't change a moment of my life.  I have been lucky not to have any complications at all.  I love my life now and it shows in everything I do. 

My new goal is to lose the last 40 lbs I want to lose.  I will then have my tummy tuck (hopefully coupled with a breast reduction - my back is killing me).  I don't want to be "normal or skinny,"  I want to be me. I want to be healthy. :) Know what I mean?

It has been a long time since I have updated my profile.   I am now down to 196 lbs.  I am very pleased with my progress.  Exercise has been the key for me to loose weight now.  When I do it, I lose... when I don't do it, I stay the same. I am trying to work my schedule around so I can exercise more than I have been. 

I have been a bum about writing to people.  I have been so completely inundated with the PTA and building my Arbonne business that I have lost touch with so many people.

I want to show you what a year can do... The picture on my profile was taken in Nov. of 2005.  I will post what I look like now, November 2006.
