I am pretty sure I spelled the subject line wrong... but it's a portmanteau anyways so who really cares 
It's hard to believe that it has been a year since my surgery. Where has this year gone?? I remember all the anticipation, the nerves, the slight regret when i woke up in intense pain in recovery. Fast forward a year and I have no regrets, other then Dec - May of this year when I checked out and gained and lost the same 5lbs over and over.
I had an outlook reminder pop up this morning with the weight that I *should* have been at if I had kept on track. Well, I am not that weight, but I am down 61lbs and dammit I'll take it!!
I am still commited to this journey. There's so much I am doing that I couldn't have done a year ago. I've done tons of traveling this year, Vegas, Austin, KC, Seattle next week, Chicago in August, maybe Italy in October! I went on a hot air balloon trip last week which was *awesome* (which was a suprise from a special friend 
) .
This year I want to do so much more. I can't wait to do things like.... run the annual 10k with people from work, go skydiving, hike down and back up the grand canyon. I can see so much opportunity for my future and I can't wait to get there.
Here's to the start of year 2 of the rest of my life! *Cheers*
P.S. Go on a hot air balloon trip... it's awesome http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=68162&id=1339391843&l=1026bc80ae
