well here I am 8 months and a few days out… weighing in at an interesting 176.4 this morning… WOW.. so close to 175… never thought I’d see this.
169 puts me at OVERWEIGHT I am 7 pounds from OVERWEIGHT… OMG that’s less than my babies weighed at birth. I am working through the pain of a pulled butt cheek… LOL… I’m still in the gym and LOVING it. I feel pretty good. I sometimes think i look good… it’s almost like I don’t want to allow myself the luxury of admitting I look good. Like that’s vain or shallow… Did I do this for my health or my looks? WELL…. a little of both I guess… I like the good numbers on the blood work, I Like feeling fit and healthy. I LOVE YOGA..
I guess it’s hard for me to see that I could stop losing in 10 pounds and be done… I think I want to be 145 for a while…

I posted this on OH today… I want to share it here too…
Yep here’s a geek girl post for ya… (PREOPS and NEWLY POST OPS PAY ATTENTION)
I keep telling myself I’m losing SLOWLY… I’m not.
I keep telling myself I’m a failure I’m NOT
I keep thinking that I’m doing something wrong.. I’m NOT.
NOW Granted I’m technically a light weight… my EW according to the doctor was 143 and I’m at 62% EWL already. THIS IS GOOD… I chart every day. I chart monthly on the calendar month I chart monthly on the surgical month… I took all this info and created a weekly chart… it was the first time I felt like I was doing something RIGHT…..
I had ONE week where I had a small gain (.8 so less than a pound) and some weeks I lose a lot more than that or a lot less….. but I AVERAGE 2.3 pounds lost PER WEEK. this is HUGE folks… I’ve never lost that CONSISTENTLY over a long period of time…
I keep thinking I’m stalling… but there is LOSS of some amount EVERY week even if it’s .2 pounds…
Sometimes I think that my expectations of what I would lose were unrealistic. I think we really have to look at percentages not actual pounds. 62% of my EWL is huge… HUGE… It’s like 88 pounds… my ticker is from the day of surgery on my scale. not my preop weight on their scale… so my ticker does NOT match the doctor’s expectations…
here’s the chart… and take heed… slow and steady wins this race…

This week is going fast, at least for me.
I nap on the couch from 9-11 so i’m really getting enough sleep. go figure. Brian is sleeping downstairs this week so i’m getting a decent night’s sleep.
I want to talk about elevator etiquette today. In public now a days it’s first on last off… (cause you are in the back). In my OFFICE, men that do not let the ladies off first are publicly ridiculed. It’s like our own little corner of 1950 still. I’ve gotten so used to it that when some new guy gets off before me I’m insulted.
Last night, I took Toby and Michele to the vet with Wiley. Poor Wiley… so stressed he was practically blowing a coat. I drove them there but let them have their private time with Wiley. Toby is destroyed. Just like Brian was when Bagel was put down.
This morning the alarm went off at 4:46 like always. I know I hit snooze at least twice before i turned it off. I finally got up about 6:30. I managed to be at work by 7:30 but I did have to wake the girl child to go down and get me some jeans. and I had NO GUILT about it. I have asked her all week to bring up the clean laundry. she never does. so i woke her at 6:30 to do so!
Left brian sleeping on the couch. left the dogs watching him. told Girl child I was leaving and here I am. I told them to take ham steak out for dinner. I have to stop at Bjs tonite. I got my $20 dollar check from the BJs credit card. for every 2000 points I accumulate I get $20.00. it’s working nicely now that I’m paying the card off every month and using it to ammass points.
oh well I better go work… more later.
