50 lbs down!

May 31, 2010

I am very proud that I have now given away 2 sizes of clothes and am seeing an amazing difference in my body.  I am getting pretty concerned about the skin/flab issue.  I am excersicing every day and have even taken that down a notch to slow my weight loss as I'm hoping that might help with the skin issue.  I could hardly make it 5 minutes on the elliptical without stopping 3 months ago and now I'm doing 20 minutes with no problems and lifting weights when I"m done. Pretty awesome feeling!
I got a bit off track in the middle of the month with my food choices...I took a new job and was very concerned with telling my amazing current boss that I was leaving as she and I are very close.  I let my old habits of dealing with stress creep in and the scale didn't move for two weeks! Luckily, I caught myself and am back on track. Knowing its going to be so much easier to recover from a bad decision since my surgery makes it very simple to motivate myself again.
Here's to another 50!

First Date :)

Mar 27, 2010

My husband took me on our first date after my surgery last night. We haven't even been married a year and it was so special to be able to just have a normal meal with him again after all the liquid diets, shakes, and surgery stuff.  I had some sauteed fish, black beans, and even a little guacamole :)
It was nice to be able to eat more normally again. I was scared I might get sick, but it was fine.  He must have told me I was hot like ten times...so nice to hear!  I cannot wait to see what he says when I'm down 30 more pounds.  I am so blessed by how supportive he has been through all of this and now I am grateful I get to enjoy things with him again without being unhealthy or having to feel guilty.  Life is good :)
