Update

Jan 28, 2010

I always look at my blog with the very best intentions to update it, but you can see that it doesn't happen very often.  I am almost 10 weeks post op and it seems like my surgery was a lifetime ago.  If you told me 6 months ago that I would feel as good today as I do, I probably would have laughed at you.  I feel amazing.  I am at the gym most mornings and actually take great pleasure in running on the elliptical for an hour every day.  My scale is not showing a very rapid decline in numbers as I would like it to, but I had my stepmom help me update my body measurements and the results were much more telling than the scale.  Last weekend, I actually went to a store and bought some workout clothes in an XL - the first non-plus size clothes I've purchased in over 10 years.  What a great feeling!  I am starting to branch out in my eating, not just sticking with the tried & true choices that I know will fullfill my protein requirements.  I'm trying out new recipes and my kids actually like them as well.
I want so much to introduce a healthier lifestyle to my family, not just myself.  At the end of the day, I'd like to say that we have all adopted a healty lifestyle - and we're on a great path to making it.
I am so excited for summer!  I told my husband that we'll be spending a lot of time outdoors hiking and such.  I am so upbeat about life and the great shift in direction that mine has taken.  There's no stopping me now!!
