Bones!

I can't believe it's just about 1/2 way through November and I hadn't blogged all month! Life is getting busy. That's a good thing. Balancing work, school and home is always a challenge - but it's a good challenge.

The one thing that I wanted to talk about for a little while now is about my bones. Skinny people may not know this feeling, but when you start to loose weight, and a lot of weight with that, you start to notice your bones. I have found my neck and shoulder bones. My hip bone I can feel now too. The fat is no longer covering it up. It's a weird feeling, but I love it. I notice my self feeling my bones and before I realize what it is, I'm always in this state of mind of... oh my god... what is that... then I realize, my fat is going away and my bones are popping out!! I am starting to take shape - so to speak!!

So the holidays are approaching us. This is will be my first thanksgiving/Christmas holiday with my new way of eating. I think I will be ok. I will just take it slow and remember to eat the meat first and have tiny bits of everything else. I am really looking forward to the holidays. I feel better then I have in a long time. I think some of it relates to my weight lost and the energy I have now.

So in two days I have my follow up with my doctor. It will be 4 1/2 months since surgery. And I am at 90 pounds lost... as of today! Can you believe that!! I can't. That's like a couple of these small kids... Jorde plus Emma. That is what I was carrying around for a long time. My feet feel better, my knees are better. I don't have as much heart pain that I had. My energy! It's all worth it. I got about 40-50 pounds to go... then I will reach my ultimate goal. I never thought I would get there - and I now know I will. I feel like I can also get through the holidays without over doing it on the food!
