Reaching the first goal!
I have to share because I was so happy! I was up this morning and going about my regular business and decided to weigh. I FINALLY FELL BELOW THE 300 MARK!!! I was shouting to everyone in my house. It has been years since I have seen a 2 as the first # in my weight. I know that most of you were alot smaller than I am even now when you had your surgery, but this is a major step for me. I have been waiting to break this mark since day 1 of surgery. I feel so much better and it's not almost impossible to go to town and walk in a store anymore or jump out and run in a store to grab something. Before surgery, it was a major deal to even walk to my car or the mailbox. I now have spring coming back into my step. My children are noticing a big difference and make comments alot. They finally feel they have their mom back. I think that is the best blessing of all! I have even been able to drink more water lately without it hurting my pouch! That is a marvelous feeling. I am kicking the regrets to the curb and putting on my tennis shoes! It's gonna be a wonderful journey from here!!!!! I'm so excited!

Wooooohoooo Trina!
We stopped by our old office on the way home today, and I took a flight of stairs, and noticed when I got to the top, I was not winded! I couldn't have done that a month ago!
