In a few days I am leaving for our trip to Las Vegas,Nevada. I am so excited to be able to tag along with James on his work trip. The hard of course will be managing my eating while away from home. It’s hard to do when you are going out to eat for pretty much every meal...but I plan on being very diligent about looking things up and eating the lowest fat options that the restaurants will provide. If that means having a bunch of plain salads then so be it. I don’t care. I am determined to continue in my good habits that I finally am solid in again.
PLUS, I have not only reached my goal of 153 pounds but am actually still going down some and I am now at 152 pounds. I would love to hit an even 150 pounds so I am working towards that next goal. Still exercising 3 days a week and I figure even though I will end up missing those exercise days while in Vegas I will still be walking a TON, so I think I will be burning calories no matter what.

Lifting things that weigh more is getting a little bit easier. I am almost at the year mark and although I still can tell if I have overdone it, I am able to lift more without hurting myself now and that feels great. We are anxious for February of next year to come around because that is when we plan on going to get a second opinion on my left breast. I really wish I could post a picture of how it looks...but the best I can do is tell you to picture a water balloon...and then picture that you took a piece of yarn and tied it around that water balloon...not crazy tight mind you, just slightly snug so that it has that look of two parts are happening….and you can feel the two parts of the balloon. That is how my left breast looks and feels. The implant is in place...but for some reason it just doesn't look right. My surgeon says that there is nothing that can be done about this, but since he has had multiple opportunities to fix my breasts and I am still not fully satisfied...we are gonna get a second opinion.
Why February? Well for one it’s winter and no swimsuits will be worn. Second, that is when James would normally get his big bonus, so we would have the money which is a huge plus.
I really really hope this can be fixed. It bothers me every time I look at it. If it can’t be fixed, that’s gonna have to be ok. It is still WAY better than the flat pancake breasts I had after the weight loss, and I will make myself deal with it and be thankful. But I sure would like to have them fixed if I can.
So anyway...lots of positives happening...I am being successful with my weight management and that feels awesome!! I am so happy to be back into solid good habits. Thank God!
