My blinds are open when I wake up but it is 400 in the morning so there is nothing to see. The sunshine won't be around for three hours. Luckily the windows of my job site open on the east and we see the sunrise every morning.

1. My personal goal is to get down to 150 and stay there.

2. I am having RNY to SADI revision. I am pre op. My operation is on Wednesday the 5th.

3. my weight is 246 Lbs.

4. My favorite winter activity is piling on the blankets or standing in front of the heater with a kitty cat by my side.

2. I had VSG in Feb 2018, revised to RnY Oct 2018.

3. my weight before I left on vacay was 153 Lbs.

Happy December. I'm almost to my one year surgiversary and still losing after having a sleeve done. Today I'm 186.6 and BMI 34. I'm thrilled I didn't gain while on holiday these past few days but I hit the gym every day except yesterday and tried to stay on program. I need to re-up my fluids again.

When, home, I open my shades every morning to let the light in. I do watch a bit of tv most days but am most likely to binge watch during Xmas week when I take a staycation. Yoga challenge is yay! Will be doing most of those poses regularly. Candle and cow face are works in progress.

Had a great time going home to PA and shocking everyone with my changes. It feels so good to be me and just me and not me with a weight problem. But still, going to keep up the program until I stop losing or I hit a place that I don't want to go under.

Off to the gym! Have a good day.

3. It's snowing...but I'm going to the gym and work....and hopefully yoga tonight. As far as dessert goes, I'm sure I'll have something. Still trying to get past Turkey day treats which have travelled to the office. But I do try to keep sugar free stuff around but I also seem to like a piece of dark chocolate on the regular.

Stay warm and dry peeps!

Day 3: I have been avoiding dessert but Ill probably sneak a small spoon of ice cream 🤤

FYI - I dont know anything about yoga but from the yoga flow for stress relief pic ive learned that everyday im doing position savasanna....

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
