Wow, it has been a while since I have posted a real blog! I guess I'm just enjoying my new life SO MUCh that I haven't really had time to sit on the computer lolWell I am 8 months out today and down a total of 143.6lb and have a BMI of 29.9 (OVERWEIGHT YAHOO!!!). Since surgery I have lost 97.4 lbs. I enjoy life so much more than ever! This is going to be the best summer ever! I have worn shorts and capis and tank tops and dresses all of which I would have NEVER worn outside my house before. I open my blinds in my house because I no longer feel the need to hide in my own house! I want to enjoy the world and enjoy LIFE! I want to hike so bad!! I know I can!! I can cross my legs and almost feel uncomfortable if I don't, I can run with my kids, I can sit on my husbands lap, I am just LIVING, FINALLY!! I have had back sets. I have plateaued a couple times. I've gained and lost 3 or 5 pounds (see my health tracker) I started drinking Diet Caffeine free Dr Pepper, I eat sweets in SMALL amounts but try hard to keep it under control. I don't get enough protein (SHAME ON ME!) I am taking ALL my vitamins now which I have struggled with this whole time so that is a huge accomplishment for me. I washed my car for the first time ever!!! I have always taken it to the car wash because I didn't want to wear shorts outside but I washed it with a skimpy tank top on and shorts with my 2 kids while my husband scrubbed the wheels. I bought my first SMALL yes I said SMALL top and wore it yesterday!! I usually wear a medium or large. I wear a 12-14 pant and I have a size 10 dress that fits beautifully! I wear regular women's width shoes where before I wore an extra wide men's shoe. I could ramble forever but I wont
The only thing I really NEEDED to document is I LOVE MY NEW LIFE and I am going to push until I am 100% content!!!
