Short & Sweet!

This post won't take much of your time, but it has been a while & since I am wide away after Morgan woke me up because she had a nightmare about snakes wrapping themselves around her & her 1st Communion shoes, I figured I might as well update you guys with my little milestone from yesterday! Whew! That run on sentence has me getting tired all ready!

Clay & I had a wonderful child free weekend this past weekend. Dinner & a movie Friday night after the storms, then to Nashville Saturday for some retail therapy & the show at BB Kings downtown. I spent a whopping $13.08 on 3 XL tops from the Juniors Department at Belk in the Cool Springs Mall....seriously that is the only thing we bought! But yes did you notice the were tops from the Juniors Department? Yeah me!

Monday morning I got on the scale, not expecting any movement...there hasn't been any in weeks. Low & behold, I was down 2 pounds! My current weight is 199 pounds...there is no longer a 2 at the beginning of my weight...I have finally arrived in Onederland!!! YIPPEE!!!!!

To date, I am down 110 pounds since Feb 2010, & 87 pounds since my Surgery in September 2011. My surgeon's office says that by the 6 month mark (I will be 6 months post-op on 3/12) most patients have lost 55% of the excess body weight. I am just shy of 6 months post-op & I have lost 63.9% of my excess body weight, so I am ahead of the game! Not bad if I do say so myself!  I now have 49 pounds left to lose to meet the goal set my my surgeon. I will get there sooner or later!
