Default Busy Week

Thanks everyone for posting on my CENTURY milestone!!! It is much appreciated! I was starting to think it was NEVER going to happen!!!!

Tomorrow is my 6th month since my surgery. It is also my 6th month post op appointment. I am anxious to go to the dr. since I have not been there since October! My dr. no longer required a 3 month appt, so it has been a while. This is the first time I have had my blood taken as well. I did get a copy of the results, and as far as I can see it all looks good!!! Time sure has flown by, and it is hard to believe it has been 6 months already. I am so excited to see what the next 6 months will bring!

I have started to exercise! I have been bad and have not really followed that part of the program because of my damn back. I have walked, but nothing aerobic. Well, I started doing "The firm" workouts and so far so good! I can actually do an entire workout without getting winded! What a great feeling. I guess that has a lot to do with getting 100 pounds off my ass! I have been doing it everyday, so I hope that helps boost my weight loss. I Was spoiled by losing without moving much!

Saturday is a BIG day for me... I am turning 30!!!!! OMG! I can not believe that either! I do not feel 30, nor do I think I look 30! Saturday night is the "surprise" party my husband is having for me! Yes, I found out about it! I will post pics!!!

Thanks again to EVERYONE for such wonderful support!

Thanks Toony!!!

Well, today was my 6mo check up with the doctor. All went very well. All of my labs were perfect! He was so pleased with the weight I have loss. I have been very fortunate not to have complications that some of the others have had on TT. He actually told me I am the "poster child for GBS" lol I was very pleased with the outcome of my appt. Next appt. is Sept. 18, 2008 for my 1 year!

What a good start to the week!

Default Good feeling!

This weekend I was at my parents going through some clothes. My parents are going to Vegas tomorrow, so I was helping my mom pack. Well, she has tons of clothes and I started trying stuff on... Well, I walked out with 8 pair of crops! LOL I am so excited because I am tired of buying clothes and only wearing them a short time and having to buy more. I let my mom know, I am just borrowing them and I will return them once I grow out of them! My dad asked me credit or debit as I was walking out with my goods... I said borrow!
