5 Months

Apr 11, 2011

 I'm a couple days late in posting, but I've just been soooo busy!!! Here's an update of what's going on in my life.

So I just celebrated my 5 months surgiversary and since the day of surgery I've lost 97 pounds! I'm feeling great, still working on getting all my protein and vitamins in, and I work out at least 4 times a week. I've gone from a 26 to a 16 and am approaching a 14 rapidly. I haven't been this small since I was 14 years old and I'm ecstatic about it.

After a year of quitting cold turkey, I started smoking again. Just one here and there, which turned into a few a couple times a week, which turned into a few every day. I went to the doctor today and am starting on Welbutrin tomorrow to help me quit again before I get completely back to my old smoking habits, which was a pack and a half a day for a few years. :( I'm nervous and anxious, but glad that I'm taking the necessary steps to quit again.

Last month, March 17th, was my third anniversary with my wonderful boyfriend. Scratch that... FIANCE! He finally proposed a few days before our anniversary. He got me the most beautiful ring I've ever seen and picked it out completely on his own. He doesn't have a romantic bone in his body, so he proposed while I was doing laundry (haha!). I didn't mind because it was so genuine and sweet. We have a great life together and things just keep getting better. We're planning our wedding for September 2012 so that I have plenty of time to level out with my weight loss and we have some time to save up.

Other than that, not much else is going on. I'm looking forward to hitting my 100 pound loss and eventually my goal of getting down to 150 (starting from 310 on surgery day). It's getting harder now to lose the weight and I'm able to eat much more than I could a few months ago, but I'm enjoying feeling more normal and having control over what I put into my body. I'll post my 5 month pics in a day or two. :D
