1 month! 1 month! 1 month! Holy moley I think I might be having a anxiety attack. Now just counting the days..

1 week weigh-in, down 9.2 lbs.

1 year later and I know it's the best move I've ever made.

14 hours from now I will be ascending on my flight to San Diego. I can't believe the time has really come!

2 days sleeved and feeling pretty good today. Not as good as GardenDiva though! She's already headed back to the States!

2 week stall followed by a 9.6 lb loss in a week! I'll take that!!!

2 weeks +4 days to go! I'm ready, how about you?!

25 days to go. I am watching the numbers shrink before my eyes and anticipating watching the numbers shrink before my eyes.

3 weeks and 1 say to go! Less than 2 weeks until I start pre-op diet. Sooo very excited.

30 days to go and I realize the thing I will mourn most in the beginning. Coffee. I don't drink it everyday but my twice weekly Starbucks stops are a little piece of heaven in a bad week. How big is a SB short?

4 weeks. Things are looking up.

4.4 lbs down this week! Softball tonight. Happy Friday everyone!

45 days until I hop on the plane! 46 days til surgery so I'm sitting pretty at a month and a half to go. Woot!

Am I the only one having trouble posting?

And I shall call you "parade rainer onner". Yes... I know those aren't words....

At IAH waiting at the gate on my flight and texting Gardendiva3. This is starting to get real.

Being a younger mom means we met a little early, but I get to love you a little longer. People said my life would end when I had a baby, but my life just began. You didn't take away my future, you gave me a new one. Re-post if you're a proud mom and what age you became one♥20

Can I go to sleep now? I don't REALLY need a mimosa.

Can someone come on over and finish my drawing take-offs for me? I am exhausted and I have to finish tonight. Boo.

Coffee after church, before birthday party. Perfect.

Counting the days. 94 seems like so many!
