Made it to the gym today, walked three miles...slowly. It is a beginning. I have been in a stall for a few weeks but feel good. Would like to move forward but I will need to learn to eat more protein and very little carbs. I need to stay away from anything too sweet because it yells my name when I remind myself how much I love sweets. Five weeks out and getting energy back, lost a size or so. Sometimes I feel like I am not going to lose weight any more, I guess it is just my brain wondering...

Doing real well, healing well, looking forward...

It's a good day and I am on my way...to being the me...I always believed I was...healthy, fit, thin.

Heading to bed. Up in five hours. The day and time have come. May all be well and good. There is no looking back. If I could have done this myself, I would have done it long ago.

Tomorrow is the day. Looking forward to being on the otherside of all the pre-surgery thinking. If you are a pray-er...please say a prayer for me.

My pre-op diet didn't go too well today. I actually sat down and ate some candy. It was crazy. I have been walking four miles a day and getting in lots of protein, but today with all that Valentine candy in the store...I lost it/ice cream too. My surgery is on Thursday. I have been really good. My surgoen said on Friday that she wasn't very concerned with the pre-ob diet and me. It was going to be fine. Not a good thing to tell me. I would have done better if she told me...don't...

One week from today! Can't wait. Yet, I am starting to crave food that really needs to be chewed. I feel like after this surgery I will be chewing like crazy for a while...while eating little, so if I want meat...I best eat it now. I did make it to the gym again last night. Put in a quick 4miles on the treadmill. Felt good.

Only ten days. Wow. I finished the paper work at the hospital today. Tomorrow my dog goes for surgery for a torn ACL. First her surgery, then a little over a week, mine. Then we can both recover together. It is a crazy time. Just knowing that it is so soon. I can't wait. I am very ready. No turning back.

Met with surgeon today and I have a date! February 16. Only 13 days a way. Very Exciting. Not really telling my friends, just one and my husband. I will see how well that goes.
