Update #2
It has been almost 7 weeks since my surgery. I started at 268 pounds, and I am now at 236. I am so very happy with how I am progressing. It’s easy to wish that the weight would come off even faster, but really the rate I am going seems great. It’s not too fast and I can tell that I am still losing it all over, instead of just all from my stomach area. I think that will help my body bounce back a little better. So many things are already changing, I feel like everyday I get a new surprise. Recently I discovered that I can finally cross my legs like a lady should...that was a HUGE deal for me. I am discovering that the towel is wrapping around more of me when I get out of the shower...I can’t wait for the day when it goes ALL the way around me. Even sleeping in bed has gotten easier! I haven’t woken up with my back hurting in over a week.
The only thing I am really struggling with doing is exercising. It is hard to make yourself do it when you are losing so much weight with out it! I know I need to do it though, I know it will not only help me lose weight faster but will also help my body tighten up. Seriously though it is hard. It’s not that I don’t have the time either, it’s that I am always making an excuse about why I need to do something else instead of exercise. I will even say to myself, “I really need to dust those pictures first!” lol Lame right? But this is what I do. I HAVE to make exercising a habit. I HAVE TO! I need to just pick a time of the day when I do it no matter what else is going on, no matter how many other household chores I think need to be done.
James has noticed a difference in my body also. He said he can tell that I feel different when he hugs me, or just hands his arms around me in general. Other noticeable things have been wearing a new pants size, my bra is getting looser, and my double chin is getting much smaller! I can not wait for a few more months to go by, or even a year! I am so excited to know what the final “product” will look like. lol
In other news I am doing great working at Brick Elementary where the kids go to school. I have been there for a few months now and I like the ladies I work with and of course the hours I work are awesome. The only downside right now is being outside when it is so damn cold. But hopefully Spring will come quickly and save me from that torture.
I can’t believe Christmas is coming up so fast. We have all the presents purchased and wrapped for the kids and other ones to family in CA have already been shipped off. James and I agreed to not buy anything for each other so I didn’t have to worry about that at all. If I get paid from work before Christmas I may even buy a few more items for everyone. The kids could use some more clothes.
Anyway, that is all for now I think. Nite Everyone!
