GOAL!

So sorry it's been forever- life seems to creep up on you and next thing you know- you don't have 3 seconds to sit down and blog. lol

So- I've hit and passed my dr's goal, and my own goal...I'm currently at 149, in a size 4/6 pants, and a Medium shirt. I've lost a total of 106#, 8-10 pant sizes and 4 shirt sizes :Dblogentry-170006-0-90338200-1391109543_thumb.jpg

 

I'm saving up to have breast augmentation...they're WRECKED :( and I'm trying to figure out if my insurance will cover a tummy tuck, or if I'll have to fund that myself as well. I have lost over 100# so I think they might cover it, but they didn't cover my surgery- so I'm doing leg work on that right now. I'm with Blue Care Network in Michigan...so I'll keep everyone posted on that.

Life is amazing. I'm happier than I've ever been...I feel good, I look good- I have more energy- I'm motivated...this decision has changed my entire life, in every single aspect.

I recently re-started a 30 day challenge, and have been working out everyday, I'm waiting for this TERRIBLE Michigan weather to break so that I can start walking...and hopefully running outside this Spring/Summer....I'd like to try doing a 5k this year- that's my goal...so here's to that!

 

Here is a progress picture I wanted to share with you too.

Thanks to each of you that offered support, encouragement, or just an ear when I was having a hard day (or a good day!!).

 

I'm going to make a better effort to keep blogging here too- my journey is not over..no way! This year is just the start of the rest of my life :)

Awesome awesome awesome! Your surgery was a couple of months before mine so we're in the same graduation class so to speak :) I am so stoked to hear you've reached (and passed!) goal!

You've done SO well and you're very inspiring to me & hope I can get to my goal as well :) You look gorgeous! And happy and healthy! All the hard work you've done has obviously paid off!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!

Pinkylaty- I'm so sorry I didn't see this until just now :/ I wish I would have seen this and been there to support you prior to your surgery!! :( I feel terrible.

I had vertical sleeve gastrectomy...and I was very scared too. I've said before, I can't tell you how your surgery journey will go- and I'm sure yo'uve read both good and bad here...but I would do this again in a heartbeat, it has forever changed my life in a positve way- and I hope that you'll experience the same. Please let me know how you're doing!!
