Major life changes are happening!

Feb 20th I'm getting married!

I've reached my goal and then some with weight loss.. I'm now down to 154.9 lbs... Trying to get down to 145! Wish me luck with that. :)

I'm leaving my job as of Today! - It's my last day today and I'm thrilled. I'll be able to be a stay at home wife, and soon.. I'll be a stay at home momma. We are going to start our family in the near future. :)

I hope everyone is doing well too!

Welllllllllllll today is the day! - 6 month's post op. I remember clearly what it was like waiting six days, six hours and six minutes before they took me into surgery. Let me say this has been a life changing expereince for me. One I am absolutely grateful for. I get tears writing this blog because this weight loss has changed my life for the absolute better. 100% HEALTHY, LABS LOOK AMAZING & GUESS WHAT......... I'M FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE... HAPPY! HAPPY! HAPPY! -

Its been a complete blessing to have the chance at a new life, a new start and to have a second chance at everything. I certainly look at everything in a different prospective and I am forever changed.

I've lost 88 pounds to the date. Not my goal but then again my goal was to be healthy. Not to be rail skinny. I've achieved that and now it's time to just embrace it, embrace myself. Something I haven't been able to do and live life to it's fullest.

I'm in a healthy and happy relationship with a wonderful man who has a little boy. We are everyday growing as a couple, which is a blessing within itself. I love life. I love my life but most of all I love myself. :)

Thanks for reading and thanks for the support! :)

The little train said ''I think I can, I think I can'' - well I feel like the little train as I write this blog entry.

Every week I've weighed myself at work, same scale normally always on a Friday ''The beginning of my work week since I work the weekends.'' - I've had this ''I MUST be 145 lbs at 5 ' 7 '' idea in my head since before having surgery. I don't know why I've said 145, maybe the number just sounds good... Personally I think it's a mental fixation I have. The lower the skinner the BETTER. Well! After being on the scale two weeks in a row at the same weight basically only loosing a lb here or a lb there I can say I'm down 2.8lbs! Which means I went from 182.4 last week to 179.6 this week Which MEANS. I'M 29.6OZ from the weight I want to be! Hooray! I'm thrilled. I'm glad I'm not staying at the same weight or just loosing a pound here or a pound there. That I actually am loosing more then one pound a week. It's exciting. I'm happy!

I think I can, I think I can - actually reach my goal of 145 and I'll be thrilled. :) I'm so excited!  

So today I decided to text one of my good friends that I met thru the hospital. She is a OR nurse and she really has helped me thru this entire process. I proceeded to tell her about my eating habits, the cookies the cakes and how I just feel I can eat what I want when I want because well let's face it. I'm bound to loose the weight. Well with that said she said to me that gastric bypass isn't a CURE it's a TOOL to help us get where we want to be. It hit me in the face like wow, she is so right. THEN... Tonight stepping on the scale. 183.2 six days ago and now I'm 181.6 lbs... That's like 1lb 6oz. in SIX DAYS. I KNOW I CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER THEN THAT. OMG! I need to cut the sugar out, focus on healthy and stop with the bs immediately. It's so unhealthy.

Done venting. :)

Oh here we go again!!! I'm stuck at my weight for a week now and I think I'm in a slump. I've had many people tell me that this will happen. Okay all well in fine but not now. Let me get to my goal which I'm about 35 lbs from before I go into slump mode. :/ I'm at 183.2 so technically I have gained a lb. since the last time I blogged which as last weekend. Sigh. I have started working out with hand weight's. Eight pound weights and I'm trying to tone my arms but damn does that hurt. :( I also bought a fitness ball and I'm waiting for it to show up, I'm going to use that and hopefully get some where. I'm almost ready to go back onto the cardiac diet so I can reach my goal. Maybe I'm obsessing and should stop. Who knows. Stressed! :/

Things are great! :) I'm continuing to loose weight and I love it. I'm getting smaller and smaller as the days come and go. I love the way I feel! :) I'm dating and life overall is going great. So happy! My current weight is 182lb 8oz... I've lost 3 lbs since last week so I'm slowing down this week but I didn't have a real productive week. I'll try harder to work out and maybe loose more this upcoming wk! :)

I'm down to 186 lbs, My personal goal is 150... I think I'm actually going to make my goal weight.. I'm not that far from it! Holy COW!

How exciting. :) I just really don't want to get anything below 150lbs. Things overall are going well. I'm taking my vitamins which I wasn't really doing before, and I'm finding myself more tired then usual and no I'm not pregnant. :) I think with the weather changing so much and overall life in general I find myself to be more tired. Maybe I should try my sleep apnea machine for a wk or two and see if that helps my sleep... I feel great. I need to work out though, I'm finding that I have loose skin and it's starting to upset me. :( Boo! I know I'll have some loose skin for a few months and so on but I don't wanna be a bowl of jello and that's kinda how I'm starting to feel.

There is my update! - Hooray!

So I went on Thursday to the doctors.. It was my 3 month post op visit. I saw the Dr. Alley's P.A. ''I don't like her'' - and I saw the dietician. I will meet with the fitness instructor next Thursday. The doctor said I had already reached my ideal weight according to their own Bariatric standards. I do stand to loose about 40 more lb's and then I will gain a small amount back and be done. She said I will see a change around six month's and things will slow down. I work out two to three days a week doing the elliptical. She said to add strength training and also to do zumba. I have to get into strength training and zumba. Then I'll be good to go. I've lost a total of 60 lb's from the first day I saw Dr. Alley about Bariatric surgery to now. I feel amazing and feel like a new person.

:-)

The holiday's are to blame for my plateau. I'm beyond the holiday's and well I've started to loose weight again. From last weekend to this weekend I'm down 6lbs 4oz... :-) Hooray! Still in small scrub pants and still in a size 14 jean. I have come to the conclusion that I don't need to work out, I am loosing weight naturally. Within time I'll start my strength training. I don't have loose skin, I don't need to tone. I'm 26 year's old with fabulous skin and thus far my figure is really good. I don't need to work out and be a gym rat just yet.

Hope all is well with everyone! :)

So from last week to this week I got on the scale and had only lost one pound. Can we say disappointing?.... Every other week I've lost anywhere from four to five pounds but last week to this week... Only ONE? Boo! What a major downer. I'm in a size 14 pant and I wear a small scrub pant which is snug and a med. scrub top. I mean, Did I reach my goal already? I really am wondering if I've reached my goal. :/ I mean granted I didn't work out but I was busy this week... It wasn't like I was a couch potato or anything. I guess I'm just disappointed.

Two months post op! Feel great for the most part. :)
