Another wow just in time for Christmas

Dec 28, 2008

I was so excited Dec 20 my husband I were getting ready to go out for Breakfast and I deciede to weigh, I hadn't weighed for a week. I was soooooooooo happy when I got on the scale and it read 150!!!!!  My goal was to reach 150 by Christmas day and I got there on the 20th.  I am now wearing a size 6 I am estatic ! I don't know that I have ever wore a size 6 mabe in jr high but I  don't think so even then. Yes I want to get to 140 but it is so slow going now but I just keep on trying. It is coming off but ever so slow but that is ok as long as the scale is going down and NOT up.   Everyone tells me not to loose any more but I still want to get to 140 that was my goal from day one and so I want to reach that goal I may not be able to maintane there but I will see..... Thanks to everyone for being so supportive.

My AZ goal wasn't guite met BUT.......

Jul 27, 2008

My goal was to be 160 lbs by the time I came out to AZ well I didn't make it but since I got here I have lost 6lbs so I am 158 lbs now and I am more than excited!!!!!  I have been getting up early in the morning and going for a run, and comi8ng back to my friends house and doing situps and push ups and sqats trying to keep the excercise up while I am out here on vacation. You know  how it is if you lay off for a while, sometimes you never get started again and I don't want that to happen!!! My best Friend that I came out to here to see made me  a scrapebook with all of my BEFORE pictures, and my monthly progress pictures and my 5k run pictures in it. It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO cool I wish everyone can see it.  I am so lucky to have such a great friend and she is so supportive!!!!!  We also went shopping today and we went to Banana Republic having never been able to shop in such a store before I was abel to pick up a pair of shorts in a size 8 and they fit just great!!!! You don't know how it makes me feel to be able to shop in normal stores and just pick up something and it fits. I love my WLS!!!!!

My Very first 5k run.....

Jun 17, 2008

Well last Saturdry was a great day for me. You know I have always thought it would be cool to run esp. in a race. I have always been to FAT to run so never even tried. WLS has changed my life and I have been excerciseing and training and yes I did it and didn't even come in last. I  did think the first 1/2 mile ...what the heck have I got myself into but it was so cool and actually fun. It made my day when a good friend of mine helped me train and ran with me and has been such a support factor in my excercising! I would never have made it without her. She is in some of my pictures.  Thanks Paula for always being there for me!!!!!!  And Marsha and Trisha thanks so much being at the race and supporting me and the posters was the icing on the cake!!!! Thanks alot- it is always great to know we are supported!!!  I will make my goal because I have such wonderful supportive friends!!!!

I can't believe a size 12

Apr 20, 2008

While I was in the only shopping store know to the people of our fair town-WAL_MART the other day I decided that since I gave away every single pair of capris that I owned- ( Yep they were all to BIG!) I would buy me a new pair to wear to work. I found the rack of normal sizes- you know not the womens sizes that I have been looking at for the last 15 years.  Oh yes to my dismay there were NO 14's except in the stretch kind and I have decided that those are not coming back into my wardrobe. So I picked up a size 12 and looked  at them and put it back on the rack and looked some more -picked the 12 up again and thought well if they don't fit I can bring them back or hang on to them and in another month they will fit. SO I took them and checked out and went home. OMG!!!!! I got home and tried them on I was shocked....... they fit!!!!! Maybe a little tight but they zipped and I could breath, I can wear them a size 12 at 178lbs. I do believe this exceriseing is paying off .  I have never been able to wear a size 12 at 178 before!!! I love my RNY!!!!!

did i just buy a size 14?

What a wow day I have had. First of all i went to the gym for a personal training session, that was great i really worked hard ran faster than I had been! I got home and cleaned up and got on the scale and horray!!!! I was under 180lbs!!! I have been waiting for that day for 3 weeks! Then I met my daughter at Walmart and she told me I was getting skinny, she lives in another town and hadn't seen me for a few weeks.  I decided to buy myself a new pair of jeans that actually fit. I  took a risk and bought I size 14 got home tried them on they fit perfectly!! I am so excited i have got my excitenent back. I have been on a stall for 3 weeks and was getting really down in the dumps. But now I can go run down the road in the pouring down rain!!!!!!!

Well I am really enjoying - did I say enjoying excerise?

 I asked a friend if she wanted to join the gym with me and she was so excited ! We have been meeting at the gym and working out together- such a big help to me. We decided that we wanted the trainer to help us so Last Saturday was our first session! OMG! I was so sore when I left there I didn't think I would make it. I was in pain Sat, Sunday, and Monday! I made myself call my trainer and he said to come back Tuesday and he would help me so I didn't hurt myself! I can't believe I am going to say this but honestly it felt good to do those god forsaken sqats! I really felt good after Tuesdays session. I have been there everyday since! We have done cardio the last 2 days, Tomorrow back to the weights!  I was cleaning house this morning and put my hand on my hip-well were I was always told my hip was- guess what I felt my hip bone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was great!

Had a Great Easter...

Mar 24, 2008

Well I made it through Easter and still lost 1.5lbs through it all. I got sick a little bit last night but I made it and it wasn't a lasting thing. I had my parents, my in-laws, and my kids and my perious little granddaughter here for Easter on Saturday nightl yes I cooked and was able to control my eatting. I baked a ham and I knew i couldn't eat it yet so I baked a turkey breast so I could have something to eat. I fixed serval things I would not allow myself to eat and I managed just fine. After all it will be that way the rest of my life. Made dessert with splenda! Everyone said it was wonderful. Went out to eat  last night with my parents and my brother and sister in law and felt really good about being able to do that. And was i so happy when I got up this morning and stepped on the scale and lost another 1 1/2 lbs!!!  WOW !!!!! I can do this and be happy! Thanks to this site and my friends here for so much support!
