is how I feel about not updating my profile!  Ok what has happened?  On May 22 I had breast implants and a tummy tuck! On June 28th (my birthday), I had the most fabulous all white party this town has ever seen!  It was the absolute BOMB!  There were so many people there and we had a f'ing ball!  On July 21st I started a doctoral program for nursing and on August 19 I took and passed my certification exam for nurse practitioner. 

I am holding my weight at 150 to155.  Size 6-8.  I feel great and I look pretty damn good if I say so myself! (my daddy says its a po dog that won't wag his own tail lol).  With these new breasts, I don't look so thin and I look more porprotionate.  I have been working out and trying to tone up.  My arms look better but Ion thank they is no hope fo these thighs! lol!  but I am so cool with that,  I don't really wear shorts anyway, and I do have pretty decent legs.

I pretty much eat what I want.  I do eat some sweets, but not much at all! As always, I really need to do better with vitamans. 

I can't believe I'm almost 3 years out.  This surgery really has been a true blessing from God to me!

It is on for me!!! I have finally graduated and will soon be taking my certification exam for family nurse practitoner, great.  But what is really the bomb diggity, LOL, is that on May 22 at 0930 I will be recieving my brand new titties, thats right OH, Ima bout to get some titties and will now longer be looking like a teenaged boy!!! I am so excited! Oh yeah and a tummy tuck too!  Baby I am going to be fine, fit, fabulous by my 40th bday.  I think I'm more excited about this surgery than I was about gastric,  which is ironic because without gastric this surgery would not be possible or warranted, but anywho, I am so glad and grateful.  I feel like my life is coming full circle.  I feel great, I look pretty good and soon Ima have me some big pretty titties!  LOL! life is too damn good right now...........HOLLA!

I have my last clinical day today and on to graduation on May 10th!  I am so hyped!!! As for my weight loss journey, well........I'm down to 143 on my scales I am not happy about that and would like to pick back up to around 150 or 155.  I am scheduled for my tt and breast lift with implants on May 22 and I'm really excited about that too. So by the time I reach 40 I plan on  being fine and fabulous!!!

My anniversary date was 4/03/06 it has come and gone without an update, please forgive me but school has had me so pre occupied that it is ridiculous!!! But alas, I will graduate with a master's in nursing on May 10 and sit for boards to become a family nurse practitioner sometime this summer.

As for as how my journey is going, well I fell off the work out wagon, again, but I am dressed for the occasion and ready to go as I type.  Surprisingly my weight has remained stable, I flucuate between 145 and 150 and its a happy medium.  I have been somewhat slack in taking vitamins, so with a renewed spirit I vow to do better.

I am scheduled for a breast lift with augmentation and a tt on May 22.  I am so excited about that!  I think I will finally be complete once that is done!  I am very excited about having titties again!  I never knew they would mean so much to me! Of course we all want that flat stomach, so by my 40th bday I plan to be 40, fit and Fabulous!!!
 

My friend Erica calls it the "Down Syndrome" because this shit will have you down....she's right,  poor food choices today have led to a night of abdominal pain and discomfort, nausea,  why did I eat that hot dog!!! WHY!!!!  I'm so sick I have made so many typos, it has taken way to long to type this update..I need prayer.........

Hey OH!
Just a quick update.  I had been pretty consistent with my work out up until last week.  I was going to the gym 3 times a week doing 45min on elip, 15 min on bike, and 15-20 min on weights.  I can really see the results in my arms.  But alas, I did nothing last week.  So I am going to get back on track starting tomorrow.  About a week ago I was all freaked out because I had gained 4-5 lbs.  I was really scared because I was thinking if these lbs can creep up on me so can 10 or 20 or 30.  Well, I cut way back on snacking and grazing and increased water intake and I'm back to my 148-150 range and I feel safe here weight wise.  This is strange for me because at one time I was really wanting to get back to 160. I now realize I do not want that.  I was really stressing.  Sometimes I look at my jeans and they look so big to me or when I look in the mirror, I see a size 12 body even though I'm wearing a size 6 or 8.  My best friend says that if I can't see that I'm skinny then I have anorexia (LOL), but another friend of mine said the mind is so funny...when you are gaining weight you don't really see it until it has progressed to an out of control state and you like wake up and you're like when did this happen??? So it takes a while for the mind to catch up with the body.  I guess he's right.  I am satisfied with my weight, but I realize that I have to still eat right, not overeat, and stay away from empty calories.

I am excited about my upcoming graduation date!  May 10th I will recieve my master's in nursing and nurse practitioner's degree.  I also have applied to a doctoral program and will interview on March 12th for a position in the program.  I am so pumped about that.  

Well this is all for now, will keep you posted on my journey.

Hello OH! This is my first update for 2008.  So what's new on my journey?  I am working out with a vengence! I am doing 45 min on eliptical, 15 mins on bike, and 15-20 min on weights.  I am seeing some results in my arms, they are not as flabby and my calf muscles  are really shaping up.  I had noticed that my calves were looking flabby, but they are back tight.  I think I have big pretty legs and those I want to keep.  Now, I have to work on these thighs and arms.  By this summer June 28 to be exact, I plan on being REALLY FIT.  It's my 40th bday and I am planning a big bash! So I have to be extra cutified (LOL).  No, seriously, I feel so good since I'm back working out, sleeping better, and eating somewhat better.  Not so much snacking.  I am maintaining my weight b/w 145-148 and I am comfortable here.  I wear size  6 to 8 pants and small shirts ( which will change in May when I get my boobies).  I had to change my surgery date to May 22 because I have to take a review class for certification,  You do know I will be graduating  on May 10th w/ my MSN FNP degree and I am so excited...Go Sheri Go Sheri!!! I have to pump myself up sometimes. OH and BAF continue to pray for  me on this journey.  I am so happy right now.  I feel great!  Gastric Bypass is da BOMB!!!!

I am so excited!!! I went for a consulation for breast augmentation today, I am going to have to have a breast lift also, but I don't care, I just want to have breast again!!!  My surgery is planned for May 15th.  I really wanted to have it done in Jan. but I can't be out of school and work for 3 weeks.  I graduate on May 10, have surgery on May 15th and by June 28th on my 40th Bday, I will be looking so damn good I may not be able to stand myself!  LOL!!! I will be counting down the months and days until May 15th.  It's on!!!

Well, its been a while, but here is the skinny on what's going on with me.  I got down to 145 from being sooooo stressed with working, going to school, being a wife, and being a mom to two grown behind negroes! :) Now I am back to 150.  I am in a sizes 6 and 8 pants, some of my 8's are kinda loose, small shirts.  I am trying to get a boob job for xmas, may not work out with my work schedule, but Ima get them before May for sure!!!!
Yesterday, I took my final exam for my FNPII class and I feel like I can breathe again.  There were times when I really did not think I was going to make it, but God is good all the time, and His goodness prevailed, alas, I made it. 
My sister had gastric on Nov 5 and as of last night she is down 29 lbs.  Way to go Tada Boo Baby!!! She is excited and I am excited for her.
We have 2 other sisters, one who really wants to have surgery and needs it also, but her insurance won't pay.  We are just praying that all will work out for her.
Now about that other one, sometimes she can be such a hater.  Before surgery she said, "I'm mad, yall gonna be the skinny ones and Ima be the fat one."  I told her that was a mean thing to say and she said she was being real.  Ima just keep praying for her.
I have new hair! I got micro braids with the wavy hair and it is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! Yesterday a woman at the gas station said "dont take this the wrong way but ma'am you are such a pretty girl, and I love your hair!" Then later that day at another gas station a man said to me "I dont mean no disrespect lady but you are abolutely beautiful, man I can't even drive off!" and my makeup wasn't even fresh!!! LOL!! I was looking kinda cute though if I must float my own boat.  
Anywho, I am going to try to get back on my exercise program, I really need to tone up and that's my goal for this christmas break, and to continue throughout the new year.
I have not been eating the right things either, I either don't eat or snack all day. So on Monday, its Fat Smash for me.  Just to try to get back on track and get rid of some of this junk in my system.
I guess I have rambled on enough..........
Oh yeah!  I miss BAF! I only get to read the post after I get off work and no one is really online.  I don't have access at work, and on off days I have been having so much school work it's ridiculous!  But I do so miss BAF!

I have been bad!  No updates on my journey in such a long time....well here goes...As of today I am weighing in at 150 lbs at home and 153 on the scale at my old job.  Actually I am kinda ambivalent about that.  On the one hand I'm like WOW I weigh 150 lbs! YES! then again, I think turn it off,  I don't want to lose anymore.  I am currently wearing size 8 pants and  small tops.  When people who havent seen me in a while do see me it's like Oh Sheri! you're going to blow away! Or Sheri! you look like you've lost more weight!  I really don't want to be any smaller.  My sister tells me to shut the hell up : ) ....She's planning on having surgery soon.  My goal was to be a size 12 and if I made it to 10 then woohoo! Now I'm worried. I don't want to look sick and I have never been this size in my life.  I want to have a tummy tuck and I'm afraid that I'll go down another pant size.  I never dreamed that I would feel this way...Now don't get it twisted, I thank God for the surgery, it has given me my life back and I would do it again in a heartbeat, but I guess I get kinda down when I see old friends and they say...You're done right? You don't need to lose anymore.
Right now I'm eating breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner drinking my fluids and taking vitamins... to scared not to!
Not exercising, need to but so busy with school and work and moma and wife that exercise has taken a back seat in my life.  Will post new pics soon.
