12 weeks out!

Aug 16, 2012

 This week I have reached the three month mark of having my RNY! Time has flown by!!! I had a goal of reaching normal weight before my 3 month follow up appt. with Dr. Alley and today IS that day!! I reached my goal and am no longer overweight!!! Today is my appt. with Dr. Alley!!! I cannot put into words how excited and proud I am. More importantly, I am grateful- for so many things!!! God blessed me with this surgery opportunity!!! Dr. Alley gifted me with the RNY tool!! The Guthrie Weight Loss Center taught me what I need to do to be successful and continues to support me thru this journey!! My friends encourage and inspire me each day with their kind words and hugs and willingness to exercise with me!!  My daughters faces inspire me every time I look at them- just by being mine and knowing I made a choice that will help me enjoy them more fully and longer. For all of these things I am grateful!!! I am thrilled to be moving again and enjoying doing it!!! I see and feel the previous athlete in me again!!! Runni g, walking, swimming, using elliptical, hand weights and Zumba class:-) My new goal is to reach my final weight goal of 145 pounds which is about 17 pounds away. Target weight date is mid-November, 6 month postop visit!! I am not as focused on loss anymore as I am on fitness and toning, knowing that pounds will fall into place!! Even my mind is healthier!!! Loving life
