I'm doing it!
Jan 30, 2010
It's been awhile since I did a blog. But, I just weighed myself and I am now down to 219 pounds. My main goal was to get below 200 and I am almost there. I am so excited, I am shaking.
It's amazing the things I can do now that I haven't been able to do in the past. A big one is bending over in the car and picking up something off the floor! i use to have to get out of the car to get whatever it was I wanted that was on the floor. So, that's cool. Then, I took my first tub bath in YEARS the other day. I bought some nice smelling bath bubbles, lit a camera, and EASILY sat down and just enjoyed the feeling of having room in the tub and knowing I would easily get out again, and I did. So that was cool. And another things, this is sort of weird, but, when sitting on a hard chair, I can feel my but bones and tail bone, and my tail bone sort of hurts. I was worried I had bone cancer or something and my Doctor laughted saying that I don't have all that cushioning there now and my tail bone is just not use to the pressure, that I am fine. Isn't that a hoot? I can easily clip my toe nails, and just putting on socks is amazingly easy, I can just stand and do it or sit and bring one leg up and put on the sock and then the other. Before, I had to sit on the sofa, turn to the left, and put my knee up on the edge of the couch and put the one sock on, then rotate and do the same on the next foot. Same as putting on shoes! I was getting to the point where I didn't even want to walk into stores or to the post office because it was getting so hard to walk, but now, i jump in and out of the car and no problem. I stillt think, oh, I don't want to do that, but then I remember it's not difficult any more. I am actually wanting to go snowshoeing, that is something I NEVER thought I'd like to do, and I really want to this year. My goal is to be in good enough shape by next winter to do the snowshoe walk around Fayette for their annual lantern night walk. Too far this year, but, if I am shape I am for sure doing it next year.
I am also noticing that I am more interested in getting together with people and more confident in myself, which is wonderful. I am sure there are many more things but, this is all for now. It has been 101/2 months since my surgery and I have lost 138 pounds. I have went from a size 32 pair of dress pants, down to a size 18 from Maurices, not even a womens size! I am in a size 9 in undies and was in a 12! I was a C cup, and now am in a B and can by cute little bras and undies now. I know-too much info. But hey,Yippie for me.
