THREE lbs away from Onederland!

Here is a new youtube video I posted a couple of days ago

I just realized in the last couple of days I have officially had my elliptical for a year now. I have used it every other day for a whole year (other than when I was on a vacation or 6 weeks post surgery)!

I always wanted an elliptical at home and I was so excited to be able to get one last year. Not once have I turned it into a clothes rack!! What a huge non-scale victory hahaha!!!

Now I am trying to change my exercises up more. I do the elliptical a lot still, as well as dumbells and such at home, but I also go walking once or twice a week and hopefully will start some classes soon at a local gym. I was supposed to go today but Ellie was sick last night and this morning.

I bought some size 18 pants a couple months ago because my 24’s were getting way too big. I thought I would be able to wear the 18's sometime later this month, but to my surprise, they fit in early January. I was shocked. I really didn’t think they would fit me already. SO I’ve been wearing them about a month now.

Well, Torrid had a sale last week and I purchased a size 16 to wear this April/March timeframe. Last night I opened the bag and decided why not, let’s try ‘em on. OMG …they were a tad snug but they fit me. I have not worn a size 16 since high school, or even a size 18 for that matter so I am just beside myself in all of this. I am not sure I will wear them right now just because the 18's fit too. But I probably wore them for 5 minutes around the bedroom in shock. haha

I am really happy with my success and how well I have done so far. I have not had one regret about the surgery and hopefully, I never will. I am so thankful for it and New Life Center for Bariatric Surgery! What is even awesome-r is I am not done!!! ;D

Below are some updated photos of me and my journey:
