Oct 20, 2009

I know I haven't been updating my profile like I should. Well I made it through the first six month of my journey. I am happy to say that I am down 103.2 pound are gone forever. I know it should be more and I need to focus more on myself than everyone else. The last several weeks as been very challenging with my grandmother getting ill and almost leaving me but she is doing wonderful now. Taking care of the kids and all of there after school activities being a team mom for a my sons football teams. So right now I am going back to focus more on myself and getting these last 50 pound off before next march come around.

This journey has it good and bad day. I going to focus on the good ones. I know I need to eat more than what I am eating and I getting back at that now. I stilling learning and always looking for helpful tips from my OH family. We all need to stick together in this journey.

I am happy to report that I have a wonderful man that support me dearly in this journey and make sure that I get in all of my workout, water and vitamin daily.

so until later OH Family please keep your eye on the prize.

Apr 24, 2009

I brought some clothes from Target that was on clearance before I had surgery. I got alot of shirt in size XL and said well I will wait until summer to wear those. Well this morning I was  getting dress and realize that most of my clothes are too big and my sons be telling me that I need to get some new things. I went in my closet and decided to get this shirt that was a XL and guess what it fit so good. I have been in a Xl shirt in 20 years WOW. I am wearing 18/20 pants from a 22/24 feeling good right now.

Back to work

Apr 20, 2009

Today is my first day back to work and it has been very overwhelming. So many question from people and the temp that I had just messed up my work. I can tell that I am going to have some long hours this week,. I was sitting at my desk and I realized that I won't let them stress me out. Because I am too blessed to be stressed. I walk out of my office and since it was raining I decided to take a walk up and down the stairs since I work on the fourth floor and each floor has 22 stairs what a work out I had. But I thank God for a job.

Apr 14, 2009

Well 6 weeks today and I feeling wonderful. I have more energy than every. I am down 40 lbs and they are gone for forever. I in the gym 3 days a week and walking 2 miles a day. On Monday I go back to work I glad but going to miss working out in the morning after the kids go to school now just have to change up my program a little. I will walk 30 min of my lunch and gym after work. Everyone is telling me now nice I look but to me I still look the same. I can tell in my clothes that I have lost but still dealing with feeling the weight lost. On Easter Sunday I did have a WOW moment I have always been top heavy so when I get a suit in a 22 it fit wonderful but the skirt was to big than I realize that I had on a size 22 suit jacket it was like WOW and had room in it. God is so good because it has been years since I could wear a suit jacket and be comfortable in it. So right now I am wear 18/20 pant and 20/22 shirt. I have made my first mini goal to be at 250. Still working on getting more than 30 oz of water in a day.I have been getting in about 50 grams of protien a day. Taking all of my vitiamins.

2 Week Post Op

Mar 16, 2009

Hello OH family well tomorrow I will be 2 weeks post op and feeling wonderful. I never thought in a million years that I would be walking 2 miles a day. My bedroom is on the third level of my house and I useful be so out of breathe going up stair now I can ran and still have breathe. Well let go back to surgery day. My surgery was schedule for 3pm on March 3, well about 9:30 am I get a call from my surgery assistant tell me that I need to be at the hospital by 11 for surgery at 1pm. I look at my prayer partner and said they must be tripping me still has some stuff I want to do. So she said get your butts in the car. I called my mother told her to meet me at the hospital. I got to the hospital at 11 am they went over my paperwork took me in the back at 11:30 am and the first person I saw was my two surgery Dr. Kalan and Afram waiting for me. Telling to get ready because we are going in at noon I said my mother is not here yet and she want to see before I go under. Well she miss me by 2 minute. I don’t remember anything at that until I was in recovery and they she came back to see me. I remember telling her to leave my stuff and go home because they didn’t know what time my room would be ready and I don’t want her staying at the hospital I would call her when I can think right. Well the first 8 hours I was in the most pain in my life. I know by 1 am that morning I was feeling so much better. I am crazy because I call my mother house at 2am and she said I was waiting for your call. I am an only child. Well in 2 weeks I have lost total of 25 pounds and goes for life. I still learning how to eat and make sure that I get enough liquid in everyday. My doctor told me that to rush just take my time. Tomorrow I am to start puree food and please pray for me. . But learning more each day I love making smoothies that really working because I add the 20 grams of protein in each one
