Almost a year out..

Sep 04, 2009

I just realized that I may be under 200 pounds by April 15th.  Now keep in mind that I work tax season so every year I try to see how much I can lose during tax season.  Last year was the first year I had actually lost, of course that was right after surgery.  So with fall here, Block training and classes have begun and my head has started to get into the block zone, I realized that by the end of tax season, I should be in onederland.

April 17, 2010 is my high school reunion.  I should be 1something for my HS REUNION!!!!!

WOW. 

I always try to get away the end of April for a few days.  Last year I went up to Niagara Falls and I did indoor skydiving.  I'm not sure what I want to do next year.  I do know that I want to do a really great trip next summer.  Europe, Israel, an all inclusive...not sure, but I want to do something really big to celebrate onderland.  Especially since I weighed in at 200 in 8th grade and have been growing ever since.  OMG...by April I could weigh less than when I graduated middle school.  How nuts is that?

I still can't believe it when I see 2something in the mirror.  I can't fanthom 1something. 

While I still see the fat me in the mirror, I keep telling myself to focus on the size of my clothes and everything I can do today that I couldn't do last year. 

When I had this surgery, I just wanted to be where I am now.  To be in a "normal" plus size was fine.  Now, I can see what I once thougth was unattainable.  I can't believe it hasn't even been a year yet. I can't believe that this time last year I was counting down the days to surgery...wondering what life would be like and if I'd be able to do this or if this would be just another diet I'd fail.

I have treats now and then, but so less than ever before.  I have made a committment to exercise and I enjoy it for the most part.  My goal for this year is to ride a "real" bike.  I rented an adult trike over vacation and rode everywhere, but I'd love to be able to ride a real bike.

My surgery has made 2009 a wonderful year, but I can't wait to see what 2010 is going to bring....wow.
