Moving to an island, Volcano bodies, and other musings!

Mar 16, 2012

I have been running around like a mad woman for my move to St. Kitts for vet school. Been so focused on paperwork, visa applications, student loans, vaccines, and doctor's visits that I have barely come up for air! But it is still so EXCITING!

One of the neatest things is..I just got my housing assignment and my apartment is on the top floor of a building overlooking the Caribbean Sea..I still have to pinch myself to remember it is all going to be real in 39 days.

I feel like all of this amazing change in my life is possible because of my VSG. Today, 15 months postop, I am feeling like a new person. I walk around HAPPY and smiling. So many people have stopped me and told me I have a glow, an aura. For someone who was often depressed pre-op, this is a total change.

I feel like VSG has given me the confidence to go after what I want. I now have the self-esteem to go after my dreams and make them mine. VSG has stripped away the obesity that seemed to drown me, to define me. It has let my true self shine through and I am so happy I made the decision to have bariatric surgery. I am ME again! And I'm celebrating it.

So.. I have also been busy working on my volcano body. What is a volcano body, you ask? Ok, so its a term I made up..sort of.. and it has 2 meanings. Sassy's defines a Volcano Body: 1) A human body in good physical shape, able comfortably to climb 4 hours up a Caribbean Volcano  and/or  2) A rockin', hot as lava, athletic, bikini body.
 
I have been working since November at the gym, 4-5 days a week, lifting and doing cardio to be able to climb the island's volcano, the highest point in all of the Eastern Caribbean. And of course...the aesthetic benefits are amazing! I have tone! My stomach has muscles! And I have a confession...I've gotten a little out of control with bikini shopping..I think my collection is nearing 10! I never, ever, ever would have thought this was possible.

Just wanted to update yall on my move and remind you that ANYTHING is possible in this life, more to come!

Peace Out Friends!
Sassy
