4 Months Out

4 Month Out Measurements
(I'm kinda random so try to follow me here. LOL)
Neck 16" (That stayed the same)
Chest 45" (down 5.5"...YAY but also "uh oh")
Arms 17" (down 1")
Waist 43.5" (down 2.5")
Hips 55" (down 2")
Thighs 24" (down 4")
That's 15" lost this month alone!
My over all loss in inches since 2/12 is as follows...
Neck - total loss of 3"
Chest - total loss of 10.5"
Arms - total loss of 5.5"
Waist - total loss of 11.5"
Hips - total loss of 10"
Thighs - total loss of 12"
My grand total of inches lost since surgery on 2/12/08...drumroll please...
52.5 INCHES!!!
And just so ya know, the scale moved 2 more lbs and I'm at 263 lbs this morning for a total of 73 lbs since surgery and 120 lbs total since February of 2007. So it looks like kicking, beating and cursing at the scale DOES help after all. Who knew?
I think I will start measuring my melon too 'cuz while I'm starting to feel better about myself and my body is shrinking, I want to make sure that my head isn't swelling. So let's add to the list, shall we?
Cranium - 24"
Sheesh! That's a big melon!

...I am only down 9 lbs so far. I know, I know. "9 lbs is 9 lbs" but WTF??
I really feel like this @#$%$#@ hernia of mine is limiting my ability to exercise to my fullest capacity.
Seriously! I can't do any aerobic stuff, no crunches, sit ups, stationery bike, rowing, etc. And Dr. Harris wants to "wait until I take off a substantial amount of weight" to do the hernia repair. But heck!
I don't know people. WHATEVA!! I am thrilled so far with how I am feeling. I am getting a bit happier about how I'm looking even. I just really wanna see those numbers fall.
I really don't mean to whine all the time. (Big whah whah) So, I'll stop right now! Hee
The weather has been stinkin' hot but I've been planting and working in the yard regardless to work up a good sweat. My insanely gorgeous, amazing, sexy husband has been happy to assist in that endeavor, as well. WHOOHOO!!
OK - I admit it. There IS an upside to the "working at it" part.
WTF?!?!?!
May 26, 2008
I have been working my butt off in the yard/garden, etc. NOTHING! I am pissed off and want to scream and cry and stomp my feet! (Yeah, 'cuz THAT will get it moving.)
I know that every one goes through these dreaded stalls but this is about me, dammit! LOL Oh well. Let's see what the rest of the week shall bring.
Just wanted to share my frustration with you guyz. Hope your holiday weekend was safe and relaxing.
For Travis - RIP Sweet Boy

When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I wish you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand.
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad.
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd graze a kiss upon your cheek
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity.
And all I've promised you.
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times
You did some things
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you come and take my hand
And share my life with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
Yay Me!! I'm "Pappy-Freeeeee!!"
May 22, 2008
After 7 1/2 years of sleeping with my beloved CPAP, I am finally pappy-free! Last night was the first night I was brave enough to even try. For those of you who have had to sleep with a pappy of your own, you know what a big deal this is.
I remember what I felt like before pappy came into my life and, frankly, it scared the bejeezes outta me to even think about sleeping without it. I must've made at least 5 runs to the ER with heart palpitations and shortness of breath.
My insanely gorgeous, wonderful, brilliant husband said he didn't hear a peep out of me all night...not even once. (Wish I could say the same about his side of the bed. LOL)
Today is a happy day.
Oh! Scale finally moved 2 lbs too. *phew* Was starting to worry.
Anyway, have a safe and spectacular weekend friends.
