Hi Everybody! Its Been Awhile......

I try not to blog every day anymore. Its been 3 1/2 months since my surgery and honestly things don't change much day-to-day regarding my eating, exercise, health. I've successfully overcome most of the habit and emotional changes and enjoy immensely feeling TREMENDOUSLY better every morning when I get up.

 

I'm 51 (almost 52). I seriously feel better than I did at 40.

 

My only complaints in life are related to my job, and not really any there, either. I'm grateful to have a good job and a paycheck that gives me freedom to enjoy doing the things I do.

 

I do a lot more than I used to socially. I'm going to Marketing meetings in Orange County, volunteering with church, more social stuff with friends. I don't stay home much.

 

I attribute the attitude, the energy, the emotions with the band and the changes I've made since deciding to be banded in January 2010. Its becoming more of the usual lifestyle and less thinking about banding.

 

I never dreamt 9 months ago I would be where I am. I've lost half of the weight I want to lose, and a big part of the hangups I had associated with how I felt about myself. I'm still obese; but I'm truly at peace.

 

On to the next chapter :-). Smiling all the way..........

Good to read from you again! So glad you're out and about more . .. I would not say I've increased my social life yet, but definitely understand about feeling better. It's just amazing, isn't it? Let's just keep doin' what we're supposed to be doin' and we'll get there, huh?

Girl you are absolutely adored, so you blog whenever and whatever you want. :) I've found that the blogging should be whatever you need it to be. I need it to be every day, or I lose my focus. Even if the entry is boring and no one comments. I LOVE comments, but sometimes, it is just about doing what I need to do to focus.

You keep up the fabulous work, girl!!
