4 weeks and 8 weeks combined

Here are few tidbits from the Weekend TJ and I spent down in Rockport, TX... Mid October.

FLYING HIGHER!!
(friday)
Flying on a smaller plane headed to Corpus for the weekend. I had no trouble buckling my seatbelt! Last time I flew I was 50 lbs heavier. While waiting to board the plane I glanced down at my DL which I had been holding along with my boarding pass... Almost cried right there at the gate when I realized how FAT my face is on my pic! It's little realities like that that make this sooo worth the journey! 

Work... Has been insanely busy since I've been back. I think I've had maybe two days with space available. Every other day has been stacked with clients! This is definitely a good thing since being off for two weeks (no PTO) for surgery. I think we'll get caught up on things an not feel so tight financially. 

(Sunday)
Eating: it's different from day-to-day and sometimes from one meal to the next. For example, today I had a whole banana with a spoon of peanut butter for breakfast. 3 large grilled shrimp and some sautéd mushroom and onions for lunch. For dinner, I attempted about 10 bites of a taco salad at the airport bar. (no shell of course!) it really was ground meat, beans and lettuce...
After each meal today I've felt full and gross. Lunch I realized I was eating fast so I started pacing my bites. But I was still full after. Dinner which I just finished, is weighing heavy and I want to lay down!! Actually feeling a little pukey too.

(Monday) I puked at the airport. Just a little bit. Felt better by the time we boarded the plane! I think it was just a bad food choice...

I weighed this morning; 225.6!
Down 27.4 lbs since surgery. 
Post op is next Monday. I'm hopeful this will be a good rate of loss for me!




Today 11/09/2011 - 8 weeks post op - I am at 215 and have lost a total of 31.75 inches head to toe!


I've begun walking some, not as often as I should but for longer times than they wanted at my Doctors office...


I'm able to drink much more in a swallow than I was several weeks ago, so that's good! 


Didn't really plan on updating right now so I don't have much to write, but I wanted to get something on here and add a photo, even if it is an old one! 


Had a recent revelation that gave me a new outlook regarding self image and such. I can really see how my new self confidence is helping me at work and how I carry myself and everything! It's a great story I'll have to share another time. 


Sorry it's not a great update! If i get a new computer and maybe internet at home I promise to be better at this blogging thing!
