One Month Later....

Jun 06, 2009

 Here I am, One Month post op.  I'm feeling good right now. More motivated than I have felt in a VERY long time.  The first few weeks were rough. Today I walk 1 - 3 miles a day, I can't even remember the last time I even walked around the block let alone a mile before surgery. 

I'm so happy that my clothes are actually loose and I'm hoping that I won't have to buy a whole new wardrobe too soon.  I can't afford it after I got all the medical bills.  LOL

I'll check in again in a month and let you know what's up. (o;

I have pictures, I just have to figure out if I'm too embarrassed to post them though.  They are Biggest Loser style, sports bra and bike shorts.... I look like a goon.  We'll see.

Happy Losing!

YAY! I've got my date!

Apr 09, 2009

Man this is going to be one crazy month for me... Less than 30 days away and I'll be getting my band!  I'm EXTREMELY nervous and excited at the same time.  SO much to do, so little time.  I wish I didn't live an hour away from the surgeon's office.  

At least it isn't the middle of winter!

Flying by the seat of my pants...

Mar 09, 2009

I don't know if any of you have heard of FlyLady.  Well I found this site www.flylady.com a few years ago.  I needed something to try to help me keep on track.  I started the program and it didn't last long because my DH was constantly making fun of me.  Basically what it does is help you get control of your house by taking it back in bite size pieces.  15 mins at a time in one place at a time.

I decided last weekend that my life is out of control.  I've allowed an anything goes policy for myself and I have failed to keep my routine and in order to get my control back I have to be motivated enough to get off my butt.  So, I pulled out all my notes from a few years ago, I went to the site to refresh my memory and started again this week.  As soon as I took out my 15 min timer my DH was all over me. OH COME ON NOT THAT AGAIN.  I told him to just shut it.  I need to get control of the house and if I need to get myself on a routine this is what I have to do.  If you don't like it, just shut up about it.

Since I work full time I've had to modify the schedule so that it works for me.  I've been keeping up with it now for a week.  Everyday my house looks a little bit better.  I feel better.  Since I'm so busy now I don't sit there and think about chips. LOL  

I want nothing more right now than to be able to feel like I've got it together.  Baby steps is the only way that I'll be able to get there.  I don't want to have my life be like it has been, where I try and give up because it is too hard.  I want the changes I'm making to last the rest of my life.

I'm meeting with the surgeon in 10 days!!! WOO HOO!!!
