I might of said this before but I just don't get it. I am the kind of person I used to hate. I love to run! But I don't know WHY I like to run now post-op. Why did having my stomach made smaller and my insides re-routed make me LOVE to run. I swear when I hit that track and my favorite song played loudly in my ears I just about burst with excitement. Really weird.
I'm about 25 days away from hitting the beaches of Hawaii with my family and I'm about 6 pounds away from hitting my 100 lbs. lost mark. That was my goal, to loose 100 pound before we went to Hawaii. I'll be cutting it close but I think I can do it since I'll be exercising more. I think my goal weight will be around 150 lb. (Gasp! She said how much she wants to weigh!!) But at 5'9" I think that will be a good weight for me. Right now I'm wearing a size 8 or 10 and I really like the jeans I have in those sizes (A pair of Lucky Jeans, Rock & Republic and a pair of Silver Jeans that I could wear 24/7 if I could all bought for $6.50 from a Thrift Store)
Anyway...that's about it for now. As always I want to thank my friends and family for supporting me in my journey. Without them my success would not be possible. I love you guys!

Happy New Year!!!
Happy New Year to all my friends and family! 2011 was an AMAZING year and I can't imagine what 2012 has in store for me!
This morning I woke up and was reading through Facebook updates where people were asking what your New Year's Resolutions were and had a revelation. This is the first year where I'm not staring down the barrel of "dieting and loosing weight". I almost started to cry! The pressure to diet and loose weight every year and failing and trying again and again every year was so unbelievable! Even as I write this my heart flutters a little at the thought that I'm not standing at the bottom of a hole looking up and wondering how the heck I'm going to get out of it. (that's how I used to feel when I knew I had 100 pounds to loose.)
Don't get me wrong. At the top of my list is to continue to eat right and keep up the exercises but that is so much easier to do now then it was before. Now I enjoy it! I'm one of those people I used to hate!!
I just jumped on the scale this morning after a night of grazing on veggies, chips & dip expecting a little gain and was pleasantly surprised to find I had hit another mini-milestone. 90 pounds lost. 1 month, 1 week & 4 days to loose 10 pounds before Hawaii. (My goal was to loose 100 pounds before our trip.)
So now that I am finally happy with my body what do I do for New Year's Resolutions??
1. Keep up eating right
2. Keep up exercises
3. Read all the books assigned for book club
4. Try not to be an "over-poster" on Facebook
Thank you again to Dr. Todd and his staff for giving me the tools to meet my goals. Thank you friends and family for your continued support! Happy New Year to everyone!!
