A Little Over 4 months...
Aug 18, 2011
So, I'm a little over 4 months out from surgery and I've lost about 76lbs. How great is that!? I'm getting very close to surpassing my previous weight loss record! I've been reflecting on changes in my life in these short 4 months. My clothes are finally all too big - it seemed to take a long time for the weight loss to really be noticeable. I have a pile of clothes in my living room that I need to give away or toss. I'm wearing more dresses these days and starting to feel pretty again. I'm wearing heels - and not the chunky kind - actual thin high heels! Granted they aren't that high - let's not get crazy! I can fit comfortably in the seats at the movie theater - no more having to raise the arm rest between me and the person next to me!! I sleep better. I have more energy. I took a strength training, yoga, and pilates combo class - it was tough at first but I got stronger and more flexible! I have joined a gym and had my first session with a trainer today! I am actually excited about working out - whoa! I have noticed that my weight loss is slowing down a bit and I am hoping that amping up my workouts and adding more strength training will really help with that. I need to have some new pics taken so I can compare and see my progress. There are days I look in the mirror and think I look exactly the same - even though the pile of clothes in the living room says otherwise! All in all, things are going really well and I am excited to see what the next 4 months bring!
