Well, longtime no talk.....

   Well let me catch you up...I was banded on June 20 ,2008....That means it has been 1 year and 31 days since the surgery.  I am doing well.  I am down almost 60lbs and feeling great.  I have a ton of energy and am able to do things that I didn't do before.  I was hoping to be at goal by now but it is ok because I think that it will more then likely come off at an even pace and my muscles have time to catch up and build themselves accordingly.   I have around 30 ish to go but am very happy.   As they say... Rome wasn't built in a day......

  I am very proud of myself...Working out and eating healthy is now my way of life and not a scary path that I don't want to roam.   I do watch everything I eat , but if I want a little sinful delight-- I allow myself to have it....Not often and just a little.....My reusable water bottle is my shadow...Where I go it goes.....

  I used to be a size 22 or an 2x in clothes and now I am into a 13/14.  SOOOOOOO COOOOOL!!!!!!  I am smaller then I was in high school, and when I get all dolled up ...I think I look good!!!!  That is so hard for me to say because I have never thought of myself llike that before.  The compliments are wonderful, but again I am not used to them....But THANKS for giving them.  I now feel more confident about myself as a preson and not just my looks.  

  Being banded was a major decision....But probably the best decision I have ever made....Thank goodness for the Surgery....I hope to be at goal by Christmas...and be running on a fulltime basis....5k, 1/2 marathon and so forth...Thats the plan....Keep your fingers crossed...we'll see....

TA TA For NOW
