Amazing days behind me...amazing days ahead. This whole WLS thing and the opportunities it brings are so worth it.

Had a wonderful evening with my TWAW girls. This group has been such an inspiration. The confidence that i have now knowing i can defend myself, whether it's physical or with a weapon is empowering. Go look them up https://thewellarmedwoman.com/

Well. I did it. I mean I REALLY DID IT!!! Hot Chocolate 15k here in Chicago today. Had two buddies from HS at my side, as we cajoled and dragged each other to the finish line. An amazing feeling, really was!!! I could see this becoming addictive. There is one in Atlanta in January. Hmmmmm. But seriously. If I can, anyone can!!!

Had my 9 month follow up and have lost 92 pounds. Total weight loss 274. Dr is finally looking into excess skin removal surgeons in my area. Have 43 more pounds to lose before he will refer me to the plastic surgeon. HURRAY!

Lawd.....woke up this morning with ringing ears and pounding head. Too old to stay out late in loud places......but I know coffee....glorious coffee awaits each dawn.

I'll be 47 tomorrow. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I am glad however, that I finally took concrete steps to improve my health, after many years of promising "this year I'll do better".

feeling guilty ..been eating more ..7 months out and eating sweets like ice cream and cookies

Been away a good while...feels good to be back.

I get the majority of my protein from fish but am working on getting more plant protein into my diet. Did you know that for every 3% increment of plant protein in a diet, risk of death decreased 10% & risk of cardiovascular death decreased 12%?

Today is one month post-op for me. I lost 21 pounds this month, and 120 pounds total. I still have 2 more weeks of medical leave to concentrate on this full-time. Onward!

Stepped on the scale this morning. For the first time since probably about 8th grade the first number was a "1". I cried, but it was a good cry.

We made new pictures yesterday. I feel like a normal-sized person for the first time in a long time. Also, I get to add salmon back into my world today. And Auburn beat Ole Miss. What a great weekend!! Now if the Saints can just surprise me with a win today...

Officially down 160 pounds! I was already low carb, but I'm finding that my tolerance for carbs is nil. Now, onward to my goal. :-)
