I Can Do It!

Today I had my 2 follow up from my surgery. 4 months later - 90 pounds lighter - I couldn't be happier. My doctor was very pleased. Encouraged me to pack protein snacks for emergency situations. Like - HOLIDAYS! Getting back on the protein kick to get ready to take on the holiday season. Also good news from the doctor's office... I can take regular vitamins again!! This is good news because the vitamins at the doctor's are kinda expensive and don't taste all that great... so now she suggested that I take a regular multi-vitamin and then one of my chewable expensive ones. This should help me get my levels up and stay healthy. Overall, really good visit!

Afterwards I went shopping! I was in a good mood - and I thought I could kill some time and got a couple new sweaters. It is such a great feeling that I can go into a plus size store and have to pick the smallest size! Soon I will be able to go to a regular (non-plus size) store and have more options! Looking forward to that. I even got new lounge pants that don't just slide off anymore!!

I am getting practice on getting up earlier - so soon I will get up and not just get ready for work, but get on the elliptical again! Goal - 3 days a week, 30 minutes. I want to get the stomach gut down - then my pants and skirts will look a lot better.

Next doctor's appointment is in 6 months - my goal then is to be at my goal weight - 140 pounds lost. I have 50 pounds to go - I CAN DO IT!!
