Today I feel significantly better.  I think I'm almost done with this cold, and I feel noticeably less fragile from the surgery.  Yay.  Don't get me wrong, I can still tell that I get I've had a major organ partially removed but i do feel better. 

Other good news...in two more pounds and I will have lost a total of 20 pounds.  That's music to my ears.  My goal weight is 145 pounds so that meant that I needed to loose about 120 pounds. Wow.  That just seems overwhelming so mentally I have broken down the journey into four 30-pound milestones.  Soooo, I'm 10 pounds from my first milestone!  Exciting!  Basically, I need to repeat this level of effort 3 more times and I will be at my goal.  I know it will get harder as I get closer to my goal, but mentally the self-talk is really helping me stay positive and focused.

Hope everyone is doing well today.  Thanks for all of the supportive messages!  I really, really appreciate them!
