got a new hair cut! It's definitely shorter than I expected but I think I'll get used to it quickly. Definitely makes me feel like I have more hair!

really misses her husband today and hopes he comes home soon. Honestly, if it wasn't for my chat buddies here on VST, I'd be super lonely. Thank you guys

Today I'm feeling a little lazy. Didn't come close to reaching the 10,000 steps today. But I'm exhausted after babysitting a 3 y/o Friday into Saturday. WHEW! Thankfully tomorrow is a new day. And, I'll start over.

decided to give food tracking a try. Today is a good day

And the count down starts for us chica! I'm so excited.

I haven't forgotten about mailing your check! This week has been crazy with the snow. I will get it out asap! thanks again. The shirts are definitely coming in handy!

Congratulations on being half way to goal! That is so awesome

This week is Spirit Week @ Work. And, I'm beyond excited. Today was Hat day. and, I had to dress up for a visitor. So I looked like I was going to a horse derby or w/e. And, tomorrow is FANCY DRESS UP DAY! Uhm, Prom dress anyone? I bought a GORGEOUS dress. It was a 200 dollar dress which I paid 21 for! <3 Even though I broke my budget it's for a great cause because after I wear it I'm donating it to another school within my company who has prom and always seeks donations!

I almost didnt' recognize you through your display pic! AMAZING! how are you feeling?

Hey. How are you? Thanks for the photo comment

Day 2 of the 5 Day pouch test is almost over I know us sleevers don't have a pouch, but I wanted to kick some habits I got myself into! I thought it would be SO easy. After all, I made it through 2 weeks of liquids/raw veggie diet with a full stomach AND a hunger hormone with minimal cheating. I was most DEFINITELY WRONG!

Today I was actually a WILLING participant in 2 games of kick ball. My students were so excited for me to play... I <3 my sleeve a little more each day.

I'm so proud of you! That is AWESOME!

one of my newer students (who has only seen me as I am now) was giving me a hard time about eating some candy claiming I should eat healthier! I was telling him that I DO eat better than I used to. Explaining that I don't drink soda, limit the candy/salt intake, etc. I showed him an old school photo of me, and he couldn't believe it was me. He kept looking at the picture, looking at me... and vice versa. Finally he said "That IS you I can tell with your eyes! Wow, You REAL...

Today hubby and I were taking a walk so I could experiment with my new camera. And, out of know where (and after an extended silence) he says to me "Do you realize there's now 70 pounds between us?!" Ok, so I didn't know what to say. I had gotten so used to being the one who weighed more..... But, I was just happy to hear him acknowledge my progress in a positive way in comparison to his weight!

I'm getting so excited for you! How do you feel?

Hey. I am thinking my surgery is on December 20th. I just received my approval after a denial today! I think you'll do fine! Hang in there. Remember, if you need to talk text me!

is so close to losing 100 pounds. But, these last two pounds just want to stick around.
