I went to my brothers 30th birthday party and decided to have a glass of red wine.  My husband took the picture. 
That night I had a glass of wine and a shot of patron.  I felt smashed for 30 minutes.  I didn't want to take the shot but my dh bought one each for me and my brother.  I guess the party animal will come out soon. 



Me and my not so little brother. Don't you like the dress attire at the restaurant.  Slippers and shorts during the winter.  There is no place like Hawaii.



My first glass of wine.  Lasted me all night.  We were the last to leave.  The restaurant closes at 10 and it was 10:30 at this time.




I am the ultimate mic hog.  Mind you the girl behind me is 10 years younger than me.  I can hang with the youngsters.  I was singing Material Girl.  I guess that is me now.

Well this week I lost 1 more pound.  This puts me at 76 lbs lost since surgery.  I am feeling fantastic.  I am exercising more now.  My boss and I go to the gym everyday at lunch and I do 30 minutes of cardio and 15 minutes of weight training.  Well yesterday I also went to exercise call and I worked my butt off.  I am feeling a lot better and I am able to keep up with Cindy now well at least for the cardio part.  I hate push ups!!! I just can't do them. 

I will keep you posted.  There really nothing else to say.

Well it is week 17 and I am down to 165 officially.  Yesterday I went to weigh myself at the weigh loss center.  When was the last time that I lost 12 pounds during the holiday season.  Let me tell you never.  I always gain 15 lbs. 

Well exercise call was great.  I am sweating more now than I did before.  It seems the more I lose the more I sweat.  I am thinking its because my body is burning the fat a lot faster.  I am loving exercise and Cindy don't correct me as often anymore.  Before I would give her stick eye but now I am just smiling away and can't wait for the day that I can actually keep up with that Barbi Doll.

I need to keep take of my food a little better well actually I need to keep track of my food period.  I only have a few rules that I follow and that is not starchy food, no sugar, no soda and alcohol.  Now I do cheat once in awhile but not to much.  I will have a cookie only if it is homemade and with that it is only 1 at the most.  I do eat dessert but only a small piece and if I stuck to the basics of my everyday eating I will at a piece of candy.  I do not dump and I am happy with that.  I remember telling myself before that I wish I could dump but now.  I am glad I am this way. 

I am still coaching soccer.  The girls are so fantastic and I love running with them.  I am also referring soccer games and having so much fun.  I work PT at Taco Bell and I might be looked down on but this job is so much fun and keeps me moving.  I do work full time as an Administrative Assistant doing construction management and I love it.  I am actually at work right now typing my blog.....I love my job here.  I am also the team mom for two of my son's basketball games.  I love being active now.  I love going out, wearing nice clothes and just being me.  It has been a long time hiding that this is the real me.  My husband don't want me to change but I told him I am not changing.  This is the real me that has been changed because of the weight I put on.  This is the person I always wanted to be.  I can actually say that I love myself.  What a feeling to say that. 

WLS is not for everyone.  You need to work hard.  I might not exercise every single day but I do follow a strict eating behavior and stay active.  I see a lot of people at the support group meeting that don't follow all the rules so if you are not ready to make a big life changing commitment don't do the surgery.  If you are then go for it.

This is just a fast post.  Here is a comparison chart!!!

I had so much fun with my two girlsfriends.  It was suppose to be just the girls but dh had to come.  One guy even asked me to dance however you should see my dh's daggers.  Whenever someone touched me or came to close he was like holding me and everything.  This is so strange because he was never "J" and now he is.  It seems like HS all over again however we been together for 14 years and married for 12 with 5 children.  I guess I should be happy. Here are some pictures.



Inside the club.  DH was in charge of picture taking

Me and my hubby.

Today was a great day! First thing I did was go to the bathroom, make sheshe and weigh myself.  Guess what I am 169 lbs.  I was like this is the best day ever.  I had my first goal for the New Years at 179 however I passed that on 12/10 so I changed it to 169 and I got that one too.  Omg is it to much to say 149 for Valentines day.  That is what I am shooting for.  I better get my butt into gear and start running. 

Well my kids got a Wii and they are playing it right now.  They love it.  My baby is sleeping after a long day and my other daughter is playing on her DS.

I think I ate to much today but that is ok.  I even had two chocolates the ones with liquor in it.  It was so good.  Guilty? Not one hint of guilt.

Well our football season is finally ended.  Well the last game was 1 month ago but we finally had our banquet.  It was so much fun.  Here are some pictures.  I wish I took more of the kids but I am such a camera hog now.

Me and Ixchelle.  Here husband is getting the VSG on Jan. 20, 2009.  I can't wait.



Me and Ixchell again.



After the banquet we dropped off the kids, changed my top and off to the bar.  I still hate full body pics.  It is suppose to be boobs and up only.  You notice my big cup of water.

I am just so sad that I never took pictures of my older son.  He is always avoiding the camera.  O well more pictures of me.

To everyone Mele Kalikimaka!!!! (Merry Christmas)

Well I am 3 months out and my weight today is 175 lbs.  My surgery weight was 240 so that is 65 lbs gone.  OMG this is a ride and I don't want to come off.  Well I went to Dr. Fowler's office today he didn't even recognize me.  Well he did but had to do a double take.  What a good feeling.  He was happy that I surpassed his 3 month weight goal of 188.  Now his new goal for me at 6 months is to be in the 150's.  I told him I will be in the 140's.  Even if it is 149 I will beat his goal for me. 

I had a meeting with my Physical Trainer yesterday and she told me that I have to exercise more.  Tell me something I don't know.  Well during the meeting she wants me to start studying so that I can be certified so that I can teach the class.  Its kind of exciting however I don't know.  She has so much energy.  I will see what happens.  I still think she is crazy to even think that.

My nut says everything is doing good.  She wants me to add more fruit, vegetables and whole wheat.  She also wants me to up my calories to 800.  Yesterday it was at 550.

OK the bad news.  I am so constipated it is the worst thing in the whole wide world.  I was sitting there for 45 minutes.  I really don't want to talk about the bloody details.  The only thing I have to say is to take your fiber everyday and your stool softeners.  I will take them like vitamins from now on.  I have to carry my PH in my pocket for the next week.  Man it is just painful just to sit down.

Well everyone there will be weigh ins for two weeks because no exercise class.  I am hoping to get to 168 by the New Year.

Last Friday my company had a Christmas Party and I had so much fun.  I did start great with my crystal lite however I ended with a glass of wine.  I probably drank 1/4 of the glass.  I just had a hard time.  If it was a margarita I probably would have finished it.  I ended up winning a $50 gift certificate.  Here are some pictures.



Me and my husband.  Spouses are not invited but we work at the same company so he was able to come.



I am modeling my crystal lite.



These are some of the girl co-workers.  There is only about 15 girls all together in the Hawaii office. 



There is about 90 men.  I LOVE MY JOB!!!

I still hate my side view however I love being in pictures with handsome guys.

OMG this was a great day!!! First of all I made my New Years goal today.  That is 3 weeks early.  My goal was to be 179 lbs and I hit it today.  179.8 but I will take it.  Before getting on the scale I had to take off my Hawaiian Bracelets those things weigh a ton and I didn't want any extra weight on me.  Then bam.....179 I was sooooo happy.  I haven't been in the 170's since 1997 when I have birth to my daughter.  I was so sick that pregnancy that all I did was well you know what.  Well that only lasted 3 months then I got pregnant again and the next one I gained 50 lbs.  Never again to be less than 190. 

My dad is saying that I look great.  He has this lady at work and now it seems that he is preaching WLS.  He still don't know about the RNY he thinks band but I don't care.  He told the lady that I work really hard and excercise.

Well today was excercise class and I did really really well.  I hate step but today I jammed and wasn't even out of breath.  It was great. 

I went to a company secretary meeting today and won a $50.00 gift certificate from Home Depot.  I am pretty lucky this year.  So far at to parties I won one $120 gift cert to a hair salon and 1 $50.00.  I have one more Christmas party on Friday. 

This is going to be the best year ever.
