Been a long time since I started my journey. It began in 2008 when I started all my nutrition appointments bloodwork etc.The waiting process was definitely a long one but worth it all. I can definitely say this has been an amazing journey for me. I feel so much healthier,I live for the day now where before I lived to try to pull myself out of bed by rolling out of it. The asthma has definitely settled down I have only used my inhaler a few times since the surgery but I have noticed I haven't used it at all in the last few months. No more cpap machine
. My energy level is through the roof and I am so happy I have it all now. I worry about the cold winter months praying I don't get lazy cause it is so cold outside. So I will be setting myself a workout plan and praying I stick to it. Definitely have my tae bo tapes and once I get a car I will definitely be joining a gym because walking in the snow is not something I want to deal with. I also have my workout coach on my sons wii system so I know that will come back into play as well. So as far as my goals not exactly where I want to be but I know I have come a long way so I will definitely be thankful I have come this far.

. I feel I should be further ahead due to my messups for almost two months but I am not. I however am happy that this amount of weight has come off of me. I have learned to take my time eating again and I also wait thirty minutes after I eat to drink my fluids. That is where I have messed up previously. I am looking forward to more of this journey and get myself back onto track. I look at it this way about ten pounds per month and if I keep on doing what I am doing I should be at my goal weight hopefully by the end of this year
. I have fifty six more pounds to go for my goal to be at one hundred forty-five and only thirty one more pounds to be at my surgeons goal weight of one hundred seventy.Start weight 276

Accomplishments

This journey has been a great one. I am so happy with all aspects of my life right now. I haven't used my inhaler for asthma in over two months.I am no longer using my c-pap machine and I certainly am not rolling out of bed anymore. I have more energy and my professional career is great. I have a man in my life that truely adores me for who I am and not what he wants me to be. I opened up to him and let him in and know about my surgery and why things are the way they are. He helps me out so much. He goes for walks for me he watches what I eat and when I have those cravings he helps me out and reminds me is that something you sincerely want and 9 times out of 10 I end up eating my yoplait yogurt. He has gotten to help me eat pork and fish he's a great cook some foods I stayed away from. But knowing I need protein and all I try foods and they are actually good. Here are some before and after photos I tend to be hard on myself I still see the huge obese girl. But pictures don't lie and I know I am seriously making progress.

I set myself a goal to walk 5-6 miles today and I accomplished it all. I walked three miles this morning and this afternoon I walked another 2 to 3 miles. I feel good but I am now tired. Just want to kick back and relax. Will set another goal for next week.
