I could not be HAPPIER! I have gone from a size 22/24 in pants and 3x tops, to a size 12 in pants and a medium or large top! My blood pressure is better, I can breathe easier, move better and I smile ALL THE TIME! I am working on losing my last 25 lbs to get to goal. I have lost 48 1/2 inches off my body and have my plastic suregry scheduled for Sept 21st! I LOVE my sleeve and wish I would have had it done the day it came out! If you're considering this surgery..... DO IT!!!!!!!!

Oh Happy Day =)

Apr 13, 2009

Today has been a great day! School went very well, and the gym went even better. Today is the first session of week #6 for me. I asked my personal trainer if we could do my measurements again, as it has been 5 weeks since we last did them.  I was a little nervous at his reaction when he said, " oh s*@$^." However he got a great big smile and said I had done well. We added up the inches and I have lost 12.75 inches off my body in 5 weeks!!!!!!!!! I am starting to really crave working out and eating exactly as I should. I feel so much better and accomplished when I do what I need to do. I mean a foot of me is gone forever!!!!!! YAY! Just had to blog about my progress so far =) Thanks for reading!

A NSV for me!

Apr 07, 2009

I am excited to report that my personal training is going super well! I had my second weigh in with my tainer yesterday ( we do them every two weeks) after a pretty intense workout with the district manager of the training company. He did my fitness evaluation when I first started so it was his job to re-evaluate me and see if I am making progress. I asked him mid way through our 45 minute workout to see what he thought and he said I have definately improved and am showing good flexibility and lots of endurance =) I am also happy to say that I am offically down 22 pounds since March 3rd! Also my body fat percentage has gone down from 43% to 41.3 % in these last two weeks! It's great to have these other little things to remind me that although I have a long way to my goal, I am slowly but surely getting there!

Very Proud =)

Mar 31, 2009

I just had to write a quick little note to document my progress! I had an awesome day working out today. I got up this morning and saw a great number, which inspired me to run to the gym and do 45 minutes on the elepitcal which translated into 3.25 miles and 600 cals burned! I also came back and walked on the treadmill for 15 additional minutes before doing 30 minutes of plyometrics with my personal trainer :) I am rocking this!!!!!! There was a time just recently that I didn't do that much working in a week, let alone a single day...... I am SO pumped!

And I'm off and running....

Mar 30, 2009

So I went  in today for my scheduled fill and it went great! I was not down as much on their scale as mother nature likes to tourture me when ever it is most inconvient, but down 5 pounds nontheless :) I am now feeling totally restricted, and damn does it feel good! I have been eating those soft foods today to take it easy on my band, and managed to get extra working out done today too! I just had my first personal training session of my 4th week today. I am already feeling stronger, in better shape and happy to look at myself in the mirror as I literally try to work my butt off! I am excited and anxious to see what I am truly capable of when I put my mind into it!

Boy a fill goes a long way!

Mar 28, 2009

So last Monday I went in for my first fill of this journey to use my band as it's intended. I am now up to 5 cc's and feeling restriction. I am very happy to report that I have lost 8 pounds since then! I recomitted myself to my new way of life on March 2, 2009 and in 26 days have lost 17 lbs. I know I can do this and I am excited to see every ounce come off over the months to follow.  Thank you all for your support and letting me put this all out there. I will post again after my next fill which is scheduled for this coming Monday morning :)
