Time is flying by...5 months already

Feb 23, 2011

It seems like just yesterday I was hugging a pillow getting out of bed lol.  I am doing really good.  I have been MIA for about a month my company moved to Rockville, my dad has been in the hospital but all in all nothing too bad has been going on.  I try to write at least once a month for the new people to see how others are doing.  I know I liked reading other peoples blogs before I had surgery

According to my Dr my diabetes is considered "in remission".  She doesn't like to tell people they are cured because she said once you had it, it can always come back but as of right now I am off of all of my medication (except the ones my surgeon has me on until 6 months...next month geesh).  I am so happy about being off my meds I wanted to hug my doctor.  The surgeon might get a hug when I see him next month (FYI I am a hugger)

I am also very happy to report that I am 170.6 as of Tuesday morning.  So close to the 160's I can taste it.  My surgeon will be happy that I have passed his goal of 175 and I don't see him until March 21st so I could be in the 160's by then woo hoo.  If some one had told me a year ago I would ever weigh 170lbs I would have laughed at them.  The scale is not running my life anymore.  I even forget my weekly weigh in's sometimes.  That right there is an accomplishment for me..instead of a NSV (non-scale victory) I have almost overcome my scale addiction.

This has been so crazy, I am learning how to make healthy choices and I can pretty much find something healthy any where I go.  I almost feel normal now...almost.  I do have occasional problems and days I just can't seem to eat the amount of food that I am supposed to.  The other day I had salad dressing that came on the salad already I didn't even think about it and the pouch spoke to me like it never had before.

I still am making excuses about the gym...insert eye roll.  But my new building has stairs and I have started walking up and down from the 6th floor.  I have been taking a lap around the office when I have to go to the bathroom.  Any extra bit helps.
 
I am a work in process and I will leave it at that

Good luck everyone!
