All is well.....which is awesome!

Well hello there.  Things are going really well.  I have been sticking to my 1600 calories 98% of the time (the occasional slight overage happens once in awhile.) and I have lost all the weight I gained while in California.  I am working on getting down to 150 pounds right now.  James and I agreed that would be a good next step onto my end goal of 145 pounds, which is what I was at immediately after the tummy tucks.  I do realize that 5 pounds isn't

a huge difference.  But it is where I would like to try to be and so I figure it couldn't hurt to continue with the same 1600 calories and see if my body does it on it’s own.  If it does great, if not great.  Either way 1600 seems to be a really great caloric intake for me and I am excited to have found that magic number.

I have been exercising regularly still although I did just take a week off.  Lots of different things were happening and it was nice to have that extra free time.  Getting back to it tomorrow, although I don’t think I will be able to do any outside bike riding because the weather is now changing and it is getting more than a bit cold in the mornings.  So back on the treadmill I go which is really NOT my idea of fun.  I despise running and really treadmills are boring.  But I gotta do what I gotta do.  I am hoping that I can maybe buy one of those devices that lets your outdoor bike turn into an indoor stationary bike for the winter.  That would be so nice.  Then I could ride it whenever I wanted and earn back calories whenever I needed too as well.

I have an appointment with my plastic surgeon this coming Saturday.  I am going to tell him that I am doing my best to be content with my breasts and like them how they are...which is true.  No more surgeries for a long time, even if I am slightly unhappy with a couple small details.  I need to just trust him when he says that these things are not big deals and that really it would cause more problems if he did try to adjust it.  So….I will do that and then at home continue to pray to God every day about helping me to be content and accepting of how things are.  i can’t change my mind set on my own...only with God’s help can I do that.  :)
