A while...

It's been a while since I've blogged. Things have been slow in the weight loss dept but otherwise life is good. We're almost finished with the purchase our first home! Hopefully moving in a few weeks.   I think I'm in a funk right now, I'm having trouble sticking to my pre-op diet and now I'm getting discouraged. Not to the point of quitting, but I'm not as dilligent as I once was. I've increased my exercise but I'm not eating as well as I was six months ago.   It's times like these where

I'm a quitter

I quit school. Well, technically I've interrupted my enrollment/taken a leave of absence with an unknown return date. I feel really good about my decision. I think what cinched the deal for me was understanding that it doesn't mater if it takes me 10 years to get my degree but it can't take 10 years to lose the weight. I have to lose the weight. I still have about 30 lbs to lose before I get a surgery date, I've been stuck for over a month now. I'm really trying to get back on track.   I thin

Stressin

I don't think I realized how time consuming all this weight loss stuff is. Maybe I'm trying to do too much, or maybe I'm a wimp. Perhaps both. I work full time and I do enjoy my job. I also go to school 1/2 time, I take classes one night a week for 9 week sessions. We're shopping for a house and hoping to buy soon. All of these things are great, but they're wearing me out. I try to prioritize. Work is always #1, I have to go to work because that's where the money comes from. #2, the house? or sc

The First 50

I've lost my first 50 lbs. I can't believe how much better it feels to have lost 50 lbs than it did at 49. I feel more committed to the choices I've made and I feel less like cheating. 50 is something. The greatest part, in my opinion, is that I still haven't had surgery. I just lost 50 lbs without surgery, I'll lose some more, then once I have the surgery I hope to lose at least 50 more.   When my doctor first told me to lose 80 lbs pre-op, I thought he was basically blowing me off. Now I t

Starting my journey

I'm starting my journey to a smaller, healthier me. I have my orientation at Kaiser Richmond tomorrow morning. I know what to expect there, I've been to the orientation with Dr. Machado of Mercy San Juan and the one for UC Davis. Now I have Kaiser and from what I can tell, it's going to be a really good fit. Just reading all the posts from the other ladies who went through Kaiser Richmond makes me feel a lot better. When I did the UC Davis orientation, the surgeons were very much against the lap
