Today I finally weighed in at 199! I am so flipping ecstatic, I can hardly contain myself. I had surgery on 8/15/11 and I think I have been losing slowly or slower than I want too but my results are inching along. I make sure to take my measurements monthly and that helps with the slower weigh in numbers because I see results monthly in my measurements.

My goal was to be under 200 on my 37th birthday on 12/17/11 so I am happy that I met that goal early. My next goal is to be 189 by 1/4/12. My husband should be home from Afghanistan around 1/5 and I think that will be an awesome surprise for him! We have skyped but I sit at the computer so he doesn't see the whole me. I really want him to be surprised when he gets home. I can't wait!

I really try to stay on program and get in all of my Protein. I am supposed to get in 65 grams a day and most days I make that goal and if not I always get at least 50 grams. For my last labs my only Vitamin low was Vitamin A so I added that to my Vitamins this month. I feel great and am not tired at all. I do exercise at least three times a week. Twice a week I workout at the gym for 50-55 minutes while my kids are in Tai Kwon Do class and usually do cardio, elliptical or treadmill. Then on the third day I do a lunch hour class at work that rotates weekly between hustle dances and kickboxing. When my husband comes home I hope I can up my exercise to 5 days a week but for now I do what I can.

I am so happy that I am finally out of the 200's. I can't really remember the last time I have been in the 100's. I love my sleeve!

That's awesome...keep working that sleeve!
