  It has been a minute since I have been on... but in the time I have been away I have been very busy working on my lost and working on becoming a smaller and happier me. I have not only lost pounds but lots of inches... Inches in some places I would have rather kept :(... But hey a sister gotta get smaller right.. In my intese journey I have lost weight and gained me a great new love interest... Funny thing is I have also had some who decided smaller Sophie was more attractive than "bigger" Sophie.. So I had to cut those off as well... But I am so enjoying the new me... Now, if only I can see myself as over 80lbs lighter it would be better. They were right when they said you can't fix the mind... But I do know I am shrinking because I see it as the dress sizes fly by... YEah Me!!!

Anywho.. I'm loving me and so is he.... We can deal!

So, today I go to old navy to catch a sale....  I love a sale!!! I go in my jeans skirts are on sale.. I pick out a few and decided why not try size 16? 18's are sort of slack. Well hot damn if it don't fit... I can wear a size 16 and wait for it... there is space in the waist... hahahahah!!! Love it! So, today I got 3 tops and 2 skirts from old navy for under $30.00. Gotta love it... I made my goal by daughter's 1st birthday!!! And the best part I can see the 14's looming nearby... I'm in love with the new me. I have even been trying out makeup on my own... Watchout world I'm coming... Pics coming soon...

  My goodness I have been gone for a minute... I got lost in my scale challenged came up for air and then life took me back under but guess what, I'm still standing!!! It has been a great journey thus far. My weight loss has being good. I mean I did hit that six week mark everyone talks about, I felt the stump but I saw the inches and I loved it. I am doing good... Getting closer to my size 14/16 dress. Actually, I am about to be closer than I thought... Yeah Me!!! 
My shift at work has now shifted, I am now on the night shift 7p-7a shift. New eating habits, well not new just gotta cut the snacks but hey my snacks are healthy! Peanuts, cranberries, and that kind of stuff. Drinking lots of water doing good. I am meeting my protein intake. Had my 3 month visit... kind of early (shhh 7 days). Doc said I am healing really well, my lost is doing good... doing 28%.  Bikini Body here I come... Toot Toot!!!

As for everything else it goes.. in 5 weeks my baby girl is going to be One... what I am a mother of a one year old? I would ask how but that conception I do  recall... ! 

Anyways here is my latest lost... in a dress.. I love dresses now that pants are all falling off my ass... and who can afford to keep purchasing new ones?

This morning as I was getting ready for church I pulled the dress out the closet and said what the heck, let's try it and see if it fits... IT DID!!!! I feel unstoppable, which is funny cause the message in church was being unstoppable in 2011.... Can we say confirmation!!!! On a daily basis when I look in the mirror I see no major change but today for the first time I realize just how far I have arrived since Dec.9th...  I feel good!!! So, here I am today for church... Oh and I'm back in my heels with no pain!!! And the feet did feel like they shrinked a bit..... Whoo Hoo!!!!

PS... I bought the dress 3 years ago and removed the tags first time this morning!!!!

That is how I am beginning to feel... that was until I stepped on my Wii Fit and chick said oohhh like I gave her pain... LOL!!! I thought to myself dont worry hun I will weigh less eventually. So, I havent weighed in almost two weeks... everyone wants me on the scale but me... I look in the mirror i'm still plump but that is ok cause i cant see it but I feel it... It feels so good to be now called "the incredible shrinking woman" that is my new name at work. I am doing workouts... Zumba on the Wii has kicked my butt but I am loving it. I get up daily and work out. I especially love the fact that my scrub pants are sagging and everyone is suggesting I but smaller ones... hahahah@ that!!!!

So, weightless me is floating through life on this wonderful journey. Sometimes things stay down, sometimes they don't. I just remember what makes me feel what and continue on. This is only the beginning, to the rest of my beautiful life...

I will do my inches tracking on the 9th of Feb though. After one month I lost a total of about 8 inches and feels good. Tried on all the clothes that I did buy prior to getting preggo and they fit again, and still got tags so I have clothes to wear just gotta find the places to go.

My schedule at work has finally changed as well, so I can now get back to church. Life is falling into place... weightloss, job, now to one day Mr. Right but for now a sister will settle for Mr. Right Now... Ohhhhh

Until my next post....

So, today is my last day stepping on a scale for one month... Will I survive? LOL!!! Who knows? I shall be good scales scare me anyway... So, for the week I am down 2 lbs.. wonderful!!!! Total is 32 in my 5 weeks. So, to keep me mentally focused from the scale I shall be exercising lots... Riding my bike in house while watching Maury and whatever else I can get into.

My eating habits has improved. I have started timing myself to eat making good choices. Just wishing I still could taste the flavor. Crystal light flavors my water which makes it great! Need to remember vitamins, moving em next to my tummy lotion that way I shall remember to take em as I lotion away my surgical marks.

Anywho, I am losing inches, losing weight, feeling great minus the "pitting edema" of my once solid legs and ass... oh well the price I pay to be healthy and in a bikini . I am excited and cant wait!!! Hope all who reads is well and enjoying the wonders that is life!!!

Much love!!

This time one month ago I was being wheeled into the OR to begin the start of a new life... I went in at 326 lbs... Today I am 296 lbs 30 lbs lighter... Can I see it, not really but trust me I know it is happening.. I feel it in my clothes... I feel it in my steps... Climbing the steps doesn't equal pain anymore for me. I am so loving this life alot extra... Still adjusting but feeling so blessed!!! Yeah me.. More pounds to go... Zumba starts tomorrow, trainer on Tuesday... Gotta keep the skin nice and tight

On December 9, I shall begin a new journey in life... That's the day I'm having the gastric bypass surgery. I got my letter in the mail last Wednesday, days before my birthday. I am excited and at the same time I'm scared... Hmmm let my journey begin....
