CROSSFIT! I have done it in the past but I'm sorry, I know they say its scale-able but if you are heavier than about 230 pounds you are going to hurt yourself and/or your joints. My plan is to power down to as light as I can get as fast as I can (ideally about 200) pounds then start crossfit ASAP to take me the rest of the way.

I want to take a 'sexy' dance class.

I want to learn how to run, then run a marathon.

I want to take 'hot yoga' and have more control of my body.

I want to shop until I drop in trendy regular clothing and lingerie shops!

I want to travel and be able to take in all the excursions without worrying about being too large to fit in seats/zip lines/kayaks etc.

I can't wait to run and play with my kids and not get tired after 5 minutes!!! <3

I want to go out and see people again.Missed my reunion too. I want to start race walking again and do a marathon. I want to want to have sex! I want to wear my heels again and swim. I want to do things with my grand babies that I never could. I just got off 18 mo of chemo two years ago and my granddaughters other grandma was on chemo at the same time. I remember my granddaughter age 6 telling someone " both my grandmas are sick and can't do anything" that broke my heart. She although age 6 has supported me emotionally through everything drawing me pictures to put next to my bed saying " grandma this picture will really make you feel better" I will be so happy to be a real grandma to her. She can't remember when I wasn't sick and overweight. I want to do everything with her!

I wish you all lived closer to me. I love finding cute/flattering clothes. None of my friends have such enthusiasm for it!!! Wouldn't it be just a hoot for the formerly plus; newly skinny jeans wearing crew to go hit the stores together! Lookout....hot babes in a pack!! :)

Talk to me about cross fit... I need to get those last 10# off. I keep getting slimmer looking (woo hoo) but the scale hasn't moved since Christmas! I do spinning, other stuff at the gym and just started julian michaels ripped in 30 days DVD.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
