Yep some non surgery victories :-D Friday I went to the movies with a friend and was able to put both arm rest down and still have plenty or room in my chair :-) Now my niece can hug me and wrap her arms all the way around me :-) oooo... Was able to wear a REALY cute pair or wedges all day :-D Okay I wanna hear some of y'all's now :-D

I was going thru old stuff at my mom's looking for a coat to wear this winter since everything I have is too big. I found my American Eagle peacoat from high school. Had a patch in the pocket from an ice hockey tournament in 2002 in the pocket, so I guess that's the last place I wore it.

Not only did it fit, it even buttoned!

My collar bones are peaking out a little today!

I was looking in the closet in the basement and found my step-daughters fitted leather coat her mom bought her 8 years ago. I remember she hated it, never wore it, and when we moved she had it in the goodwill pile. Well, so glad I kept it because now this size 10, really sharp leather jacket fits me!!!!! I'm not even going to tell her. I'm just going to wear it an see if she notices lol!

This weekend was my daughters 5th birthday party. Many extended family and friends were there that haven't seen me since surgery on July 1st. All day people kept commenting how great I looked. It was amazing. I've lost 86 pounds so far. Then today I saw my father in law who has been out of the country for 6 months and he didn't recognize me from behind! I swear this has been the greatest weekend ever

Collarbones.

Hitting the gym for almost an hour without feeling like death!!!

Today I bought new shoes in a size 8 medium instead of size 8 wide! YAY! I can buy regular shoes again!

This weekend was great! Went for a walk for an hour--twice! Went shopping at the outlets and bought regular sized clothes at New York and Co and Ann Taylor!!!! My 57th birthday was yesterday and I celebrated wearing normal sized clothes. It was super!!!

Tried on my pre-surgery jeans today. Talk about swimming in them.

Follow up to my post last week about my huge jean. I went shopping today and bought a size 24 :-). My old jeans were 32w! Feeling amazing!

Last Sunday I did not sit on the coach and veg while watching football. My daughter and I went out and played. Then the whole family went shopping at an outdoor outlet mall. I dont shop because shopping is evil and it seperates me from my money however I was able to walk around and enjoy the time with the family.

Maybe THAT'S why my husband hates shopping so much! Lol
