A new year and new do!

Jan 06, 2012

So i have been wanting to get my hair cut shorter.  But at 320 lbs it didnt look good on me.  So now that im down quite a bit.  I wanted to chop it off.  So i decided today was the day.  I have about 15 inches of hair i get to donate. I have donated before and my daughters have both donated hair also.  If seems such a waste to just throw it away when someone can use it.  So anyways enough about my hair,lol!  This year im going to have so many wonderful experiences i get to enjoy with my new smaller body!  Of coarse im not small yet but i know its in my future.  I have went down 2 sizes in shirts and all my old pants are getting baggy, mainly in the booty and legs.  My bra seems to be getting roomier,lol I just bought this one last month.   But who cares right.  Thats what padded bras are for.   I have been loving my exercise.  I am so glad i went with my gut and just did it. I feel so much better!  I walked 4 miles yesterday and i could have went to 5 if i didnt have a house full of crabby kids.  I love that i can do that and so fast.  I used to walk 2 miles in 1 hour and i was dying at the end.  Now 4 miles was nothing.  I still do my turbo jam and i really enjoy it.  I am thinking about buying the turbo fire at tax time.  Its a step up from turbo jam and looks really fun but hard so i will have something to work towards.  I find that instead of wanting to sit and play on the computer or watch tv i want to get up and move.  I hate sitting still.  I want to be up and about and i just cant wait till spring so i can go outside and walk in the neighborhood and go to the park.  My daughter does cheerleading in the summer and one of the mothers always walks while her girl practices.  She always wanted someone to walk with and im so excited to get to do it this year.  I didnt want to slow her down last year or i would have done it.  But this year im confident i can keep up with her.  There are just so many things i look forward to enjoying this year.  Im 2 sizes away from shopping in the normal section.  That is crazy to me.  I weight my self everyday and i think thats why i get discouraged sometimes.  I see a pound here a pound there and it seems so small. But i actually thought hard the other day.  I weighed 300 + when i got pregnant with my last child.  I weighed 290 when i was prego with my middle child.  I was 260's when i got married and got prego with my first child.  Im at that weight.  I have not been this small for 9 years.  That blows me away.  If i loose 30 more lbs i will be at senior year weight.  Its all about how you look at things i guess.  I know my weight is not flying down as fast as i would like but its going down not up so im just going to be super happy for that.  And im 1 lb away from 60 lbs down.  It really doesnt seem real that i have lost that much.  And i know its NEVER coming back.  Tommorow it will be my 2 months post op and it seems like i just had surgery yesterday.  Time is flying!  Happy 2 months to all my surgery buddies and i hope everyone of you are doing great.
