One Year Out!
Jul 10, 2010
I haven't blogged in a while, so I needed to "catch up." Even though I have continued to be active on the "boards," I need to keep my blogs up so that one day I can look back and remember all the challenges, and goals I have overcome. I journalize my food daily, and post my accountability on the WETEO board each night so that I can see exactly where I'm at with my food intake. I strongly feel like this has been very important in this journal. Calories really add up fast.
My surgeon was so proud of my progress at my one year check-up. All my labs were GREAT, all my co-morbities are resolved, GERD, sleep apnea, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure. I am off of all my medications, and feel fabulous. He said that I had far surpassed his goals for me, but that if I wanted to lose a little more I could, but as far as he was concerned, he had done his job by resolving all my co-morbities and restoring my body to a healthy state. I am down 165 lbs in one year! My personal goals are about 15 lbs more. I plan on having plastic surgery on my arms the first of the year. That is my goal for 2011. I plan on having my ducks in a row come January, and just add that dollar figure into my "health spending account." My arms are my biggest trouble area. I can't seem to hide those. I might need a lower body lift some time in the future, but for now ... SPANX is doing a good job! Giggles!
I have so much energy ..... and I find that if I stay busy ..... and active..... I can control the "boredom hunger" monster better! That is my biggest challenge right now. I have all this energy, and no one to share it with .... so that is also a goal for me. Find me a man who loves to be active and GO GO GO! I do miss love in my life .... and its time for me to consider that possibility.
