I've officially lost 100 pounds since surgery!!! 3 more pounds and I'm out of the 300s!

Apparently, cheese is a no-no for me. :-(

Today's NSV - work up this morning and just wanted to stay in the bed. It's damp and rainy, I wanted to snuggle under the covers. However this is a big gym day. 9 am aquafit, then 11 am silver sneakers. So I got up & made both classes. By 1 pm as I was running errands I realized how good I felt and I was really happy I got my self up and went. Some days you just have to push through your natural inclination. Otherwise you never change old habits.

Consultation Scheduled! I'm relieved that I finally get to meet with the surgeon but just a little sad that I have to wait until after the new year. I guess that maybe I should be looking at this on a more positive note. This gives me time to deal with preparing getting into a exercise routine and sticking to it, taking a deeper look at what I am eating and how it affects my health, and getting my head in the game mentally for the ride that I am about to take. I already know that I meet the criteria for having the surgery so I am not worried about the process of being approved. God has brought me too far to fail me now. I'm exited, I'm anxious to get started, and I am ready to say good bye to the old me and hello to the new Diva that I know I can be. I'm crying tears of joy because I am finally starting to see the light at the end of a long tunnel. I wouldn't wish being overweight on my worst enemy. Through it all God is good!

Guess what I did tonight?!! I went shopping for boots to wear with my skinny jeans. I literally tried on 10 pair and could fit in all of them. Even the wide calf ones used to not fit me! Now I can wear regular ones with no problem! My husband was so excited for me that he bought me two pair! One black leather coach and one brown pebbled leather pair! They are so dam cute I can hardly wait to wear them! Yeah me!!!

Having a blast shopping my closet. I was having a bit of a panic about not being able to shop this year. Once I realized it makes no sense to buy clothes I won't get to wear again, I went into the closet and got creative. Discovered shoes and a dress I literally haven't worn in years.

Bought a spaghetti squash today, the first in eons. It will be the foundation of a brilliant concoction and I can't wait to chow down. The hardest part is cutting it open raw.

I'm definitely going to need an electric blanket. I'm so cold and it's only November!!!

Lose a pound,, stall, gain a pound, stall.... God help me!

I need help with the clear liquid diet...I cant stand any kind of the store bought broth...any tips on what to use. Ive just been drinking water gatorade orange juice coffee eating sugar free jello and fat free vanilla yogurt. uuuuuggg.

I was so excited when I got on the scale this morning! 1. I lost 1.4lbs yesterday 2. I hit one of my goals and surpassed 125 lbs lost! Only 19 pounds from my ultimate goal!

I've never anticipated the excitement of waiting for Cream Soup. Thursday Hurry Up!

Today's my day! 1:00 PM surgery!

Just hit my 50 pound mark from my sw and 70 from my hw! 50 pounds in just about 5 months, good...right?

Had my ring finger sized...its now a 7.5, my current wedding ring set is a 9. Guess I'll be retiring them for a while till its time to re-size. Its hard b/c I LOVE my set.

Today was the first time I could see the difference in my face without comparing it to old pictures. It's nice to not have to work so hard to create cheekbones & contours with makeup because you can actually see your real cheekbones.

I an going to start a daily conversation. Feel free to join in if you'd like. Todays conversation? What are your favorite exercises and, why?

I have a caprazy amount of energy since starting preop diet on the 7th. Is that normal?

surgery in 3 hours!

I got my A1C results at my 12 month post op check in. 4.8!!! Wahoo!

***New rule - If you're gonna stalk my profile, you've gotta at least say hi...***

Old habits die hard. I was all the way off the wagon over the weekend. Somehow I was within a reasonable calorie range, but my food choices were awful. Back on today!
