It is a new year and I am excited about the new experiences and prospects this year will bring! I only have 61 lbs more to lose to get to my goal weight! I am trying to quit smoking again and I will sign up for martial arts soon. Life is going pretty well and I am starting classes at a local community college. I am trying to get an associates in Hospitality Management it will go nicely with my Public Relations and Marketing degree. Good luck this year in whatever it is you want to accomplish!

So, an MMA fighter I work with says to me "are you working out or dieting" and I say "a little of both and I had surgery" and he says "well its working!" That was the thrid person that said something this week and even though its not why I did this, it still feels great!

well my friend had her surgery! another one of my friends went to a seminar and she found out her husbands employer excluded the coverage for obesity surgery which sucks, but she is trying to find a way around it. She contacted the employer to see if they will make an exception and they are looking into it. i will be crossing my finger and praying for her! Its the best decision I ever made!

 I have a personal trainer now... like since the begining of August. She is kicking my ass but I love it. Much stonger and healthier now. My weight loss has slowed down and I am having trouble dealing with that but I will get over it. I am 6 months post op so this is when the slowing down starts. I had to buy new clothes 2 wks ago and had to get new workout pants again this wk. LOL I'm not going to complain though about needing smaller clothes, cause honestly it rocks!

 Going back to work tomorrow after the tonsil surgery. I'm feeling pretty good! I also am feeling great about having a bag of clothes to give away that will NEVER EVER fit me again! They are going to my friend who now is awaiting her approval for the sleeve! Exciting things are always happening to somebody. Another positive I saw the doctor this week for my 6 month follow up (I know it was a month early) but I had a few concerns so they went ahead and did my bloodwork for the 6 month follow up should have those results back by Monday or Tuesday. Other then my paranoid concerns the Doctor said I was doing great and that I have been a model patient!

So, I got my tonsils out a little over a week ago... which on the upside is greatly helping weightloss, however not helping with protein consumption. Throat is starting not to hurt so much so should be back to normal soon.

 I have passed my test to get my motorcycle license and I I have lost 30lbs! What a great day.

So, I am still strugglling to get enough protein. It is getting better. Everything I eat gives me a tummy ache and that is getting old. Yes, sometimes I think I am eating a little to fast or maybe trying to get to much in but not every time. Most of the time it is very short term unless I eat to much or to fast thats how I know the difference. I think I am eating slow enough but I most not be sometimes. It is kind of a pain but I know I will eventually get the hang of it.

Ima belly sleeper. So, as you can imagine it has been not easy to sleep for me! But last night I slept all night through and it was cause Im back to sleeping on the belly! Im stretching out my walks and I started doing 5 min at a time on the stationary bike. Things are moving along.

Felt really good today. Went on lots of little walks with the pug. Belly has a mild dull ache not even enough to bother with pain meds! I am very glad things are looking up.
