Sorry its been so long since I posted. Its been a busy past few weeks! I ran my first 5K race and met my goal of running the whole thing, never walking and my time was under 40 min. (37 min.) My daughter started Kindergarten and I've been enjoying my 6 hours of FREE time!!
Today was a really big day for me. I jumped on the scale this morning and I had FINALLY lost 50 pounds!! My weight loss had really slowed down the last 2 weeks but the nurse at my Dr. office said it is normal to platue and then pick up again so I wasn't too worried. I already bought a beautiful ring to celebrate my 50 pounds lost but I don't think they sized it correctly because its the same size as my other rings that do fit me and it doesn't quite fit. It goes on but it is really hard to get off. Oh well, it will fit soon enough. :-)
That's all for now. I'll try to post some pre-op/post-op pictures soon so people that don't see me everyday can see the transformation. Its very exciting!
Have a great week everyone!!

I've lost a small child! ;-)
So yesterday I got on the scale and it said I had lost 40 pounds! Julia (my 5 year old daughter) weighs 39 pounds so you could say I've lost the equivalent of a small child! I feel good, I still struggle with nausea but I'm learning to slow down when I eat and I actually try not to eat with my family because my daughter stresses me out during dinner because she never wants to eat what I set in front of her so we get in a fight. Which upsets my tummy. So I just try to let Daddy handle things at the dinner table for a while.
I've been training every other day for the 5K that is Aug. 21st. Every time I train I get a little faster. The program really works. And I feel good when I'm done. I'm excited to run the race.
Yesterday I stopped by the local jewelry store and I looked at a beautiful Amethyst flower ring I have been admiring for quite some time. I decided I would splurge on it when I hit 50 pounds lost. I think I'm going to miss my goal of hitting 200 pounds (losing 54 pounds) by the first day of school. (that's next Tues.) as of today I'm about 14 pounds short; I'll probably miss the goal by about 9 pounds by the time school starts next week. But I'm OK with that. I'm happy with my progress and what's important is that I'm feeling good.
This weekend I'm having the last garage sale of the summer. I have 3 garbage bags of clothes to sell and I need the money to buy new clothes! (Well new to me...Salvation Army is the best!) I've lost 2 sizes in my tops and 2 sizes in jeans. I've been hoping to find someone having a garage sale that is my size but so far no luck.
Well I'm off to enjoy the last days of summer here in Alaska! So far we have had 9 days of rain. :( But sun is in the forecast for later this week.
