Finally!
Jan 09, 2012
I finally found something that makes me feel as excited as surgery did! THE GYM! I love my gym, I think I may have said something about that in my last post lol but I took Alivia (3yrs) with me this morning and to the daycare for the first time. She had so much fun she didnt want to leave! I can no offically say I can go 5 days a week now :) Im also keeping track and weighing all of my food now, well most of the time. Sometimes I still forget that I need to do that but my hubby is trying to help me out as well. It helps being able to track how many protiens im getting in a day, which I have to admit I wasnt doing before. I have a wedding and flight I want to go on in June so I am super excited to be able to fit in the plan seats a little more comfortable this time AND to wear a NEW DRESS. Its been oh I dont know not including my wedding dress, probably grade 8 graduation which was.....13 years ago.....gross.....lol since the last time I wore a dress to anything. I went out yersterday and bought a few new scrub tops, man they have such a nicer selectionin the XL compared to all the plus size scrubs out there. Im still not in Larges yet but I can feel it coming and it feels great. Im so happy now-a-days it seems almost surreal. People at work and out in public are complimenting me left and right and yes it feels super weird and uncalled for and I wonder most of the time if they are actually seeing a difference or do they just know about the surgery and feel like they must say something about it. Anyhow ill update at the end of the week about how my gym days are coming along. Yesterday i weighed in at 210.4!! MY GOAL if to be 199 by my 29th birthday on Feb 13th.....heres hoping all goes well and NO STALLS!!

GYM DAY :)
Jan 06, 2012
So 10 days later lol I FINALLY got to the gym today and man it was awesome! I actually see now why its so different. Once you are there and people are right beside you and all around you working out and sweating and not caring what they look like you want to be there and work just as hard as they do. I did a fast pace on the treadmil for 36 min which was 7 laps as it said and about 1.5 miles. 268 cal burned. Then I got on the arm machine lol not sure what its called, didnt do much of that cause it really did hurt my arms I think there was too much weight on it and I was too distracted to ask how to change it. I have my orientation on Monday morning at 915 on how to use all the machines, which I think is such a waist of time, but has to be done. I also signed up for a 50 day challenge! I know a bit crazy but Im stoked for it. Jan 16th to March 6th 2012 not even sure what its about, she said they will email me details. I also did 20 min on the stationary bike with incline thing. That was fun too I personally hate biking, but I think its cause bikes hurt my ass and I never get far before im just winded and it hurts. Hoping that gets better. Anyhow just got home and its absolutly beautiful outside so my hubby and 3 year old are going out for a walk :) I will be back at the gym tomorrow morning with one of my BFF's and hoping my cousin whos depressed and in a bad place right now will maybe join if not come with me a few days a week. I do love going alone tho makes me feel more comfortable if that makes sense. I like there not being any competion with anyone or anyone that I know seeing me sweat like a roasted pig. Talk to you all soon, FYI I posted this on FB but I thought Id add it here as well so I have it in my blog.
Just found a bag of "too small" uniforms (13 of them to be exact) I'v either had from when I first started this job (8 years ago) and some I'v just bought in hopes to wear them some day. TODAY IS THE DAY!! I put ALL 15 of the uniforms I'v been wearing for the last how many years IN the bag and now get to wear all new (to me) uniforms!!
Im super excited about the uniform thing, everyone at work yesterday commented on how great im looking so that always feels so nice.

So I am so excited about this! They have a daycare but just from 9am to noon, but ill take it! its a smaller gym and I kinda don't like that....Just for now tho, once im a bit more comfortable im sure i wont mind as much. Im going to go tomorrow morning, Nicks home so I dont have to take Ali yet, im also kind of nervous about that, cause I have never let anyone watch her that wasnt family or a close personal friend. I just know I have to get it done..I have to get on top of this workout stuff, i cant just sit on my ass all day and blame it on Ali not napping anymore. Yes I think its a valid excuse but an excuse it is. Ill post again after a few days of going and remind myself how much it sucks but feels so good to do it.

Ok so today I weighed in at 212.4!!!! Only 12.4 more to go before I hit 199 and my goal for that was my birthday feb 13th! Im sure ill hit it by then (preying no long stalls). I had the best christmas my daughter turns 3 on New Years Eve day (the 31st) and she was such a riot this year with all her gifts and her crazyness lol. ALSO as part of my hubbys gift i'm going to sign up for a gym membership tomorrow...now in my opion they are a huge waste of money but I figure this one has daycare and I am only going to sign up for a month right now, just to see how many times I actually go. I want to go 5 days a week so that I can drop Nick off at work and Koby off at school and Ali can hang out in the daycare there and play while I walk walk walk. Im very excited because since she stopped napping in the day I have stopped walking in the day. She freaks out when i try to sit her in front of a puzzle or the tv to a movie cause she wants to come walk with me...NO! Anyhow way too happy about the 212.4lbs! Also my ex told me that I was looking very good and he caught himself starring at my ass the other day lmao. What an idiot, but it kinda felt nice to be told that again.

NSV --- 7 weeks post op tomorrow
Dec 06, 2011
So in my last post I was talking about going to the USA shopping. I got home and realized I bought 15 new shirts! I had to buy a new pair of pants as well!!! I went in a size 24 pant and left with 20's!!! So close to 16/18's I can taste it! The 20's r a bit big cause I dont have to undo them to go to the bathroom. I did for my mothers sake try an 18 and they were just too tight. Hopefully not in another month of so tho!!
