      I must keep myself motivated and remind myself for once I did something for me!! The gym thing is going just great, a co-worker goes with me @ 7AM after we get off work. I am so thankful for her ((ANGIE).  I can now do 25 min on the treadmill at3.0 rate and also yesterday I ran on the treadmill. Listen did you read what I said?.....I RAN I haven't run in years. Now don't get me wrong I did not run for 25 min but 1 min at a time I RAN and I AM PROUD OF ME!!!!
    My starting weight was 328 lbs. and now I am 218 lbs. My knees hurt very little, No more asthma medications, no more CPAP machines, I can breathe, I am taking Biotin and my hair is growing so fast I don't know what to do with it, I can walk my dog, I can shop with the kids, and...and...the sex is great...lol
     It's a struggle day by day but I take it one day @ a time. There are bad days also but today I'm just focusing on the good!! So to all my "LOSERS"..Hang in there, we gonna do this together.
     One big thing in my life, I am a postal worker and management has been so wonderful with encouraging me. They are all so positive. You hear so many BAD things about the Post Office but they have been so wonderful to me. Not a day goes by that someone gives a boost of encouragement, and when I have those days that are just ughhhhh they check on me then to.  Thanks to all my co-workers and management.
LOSERS....YES WE CAN!!!!

Tonight will be my first day back at the post office. I work 9:00 PM to 5:30 AM hopefully I will adjust well with eating during these hours again. I am kind of intimidated with going back, people are so negative, especially postal workers..lol. Prior to my surgery I had so many co-workers tell me stories of "friends" who passed away from the surgery, it was horrible. Surprisingly I got lots of support from a few supervisors, one even goes to the gym with me now (thanks Angie). My partner suggests that when co-workers come to me let them know immediately that if its not positive I don't want to hear it.  I'm very nervous, so keep me in your prayers. Thanks

I have lost 56 pounds and I feel so much better. I was starting to feel like giving up on life. This journey isn't an easy one but it is certainly worth it. I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel and I'm not going to stop until I reach that light. God has certainly blessed me.

I signed up for the gym and..actually  went and got my workout schedule from my personal trainer.

I Just gotta tell somebody....I took my dog for a walk for the first time. I know this may not be a big deal for most but for me it is a biggie. My "Jasmine"  is 16 months old and I have never been able to go more than a few feet from the house with her because I would get to winded or severe knee pain. I actually walked 7.5 blocks yesterday and today. I am so happy I'm on my way!!!

Well, it's 15 days since surgery and I must say it is definetly a lifestyle change...lol. Let me start from Feb. 2, 2009...I was very nervous that morning yet very eager to start my new life. I remember going to the OR but thats about it. I awoke later that day not really in severe pain but just tired.  HOWEVER...when I tried to move to get up....I just couldn't find that truck that I felt had just hit me.  I asked myself over and over...is this what I begged for. The thing is that it wasn't that kind of severe deadly pain..I just can't describe it..hmm...maybe a severe ache, like I was getting over the flu. Long story short...that was on a Monday, and Wednesday I was on my way home. Becareful of those bumps in the road when getting driven home they go right through you. Once home it's been uphill ever since. I'm learning to listen to what my body is telling me. When it's full.....remember it's full..that one more bite can cause you to throw up  and make you feel so miserable. OK OK Body...I'm learning to listen. I have a big long road ahead of me but I'm ready and I'm going to do this. If given the opportunity to do it again I would do it immediately.  Guess what also....I havent needed my asthma inhalers in over a week.

I am so nervous right now I can't sit still. I keep saying to myself relax...relax..but then I just get all giddy...lol  I am so full of energy right now I'm thinking of going to paint the bathroom. I actually bought the paint a few weeks ago..hmmm. I haven't had an appetite all day  I just been drinking water but I'm gonna have some soup before I wont be allowed to have any. I just don't want to forget anything, I have went over my checklist so many times  It looks like its starting to change on me.   Ok I'm going to relax...hmmm  hmmmmm WAIT...let me check that list just one more time.........lol
