Yay, down 49lbs from my Heaviest!

Hi Everyone!

This has been a great day for me.  I woke up and weighed myself this morning and was absolutely astounded to see the number on the scale reflect a 49lbs loss total from my heaviest weight (this was last January).  The further I get away from that number the happier I will be!!!

Tonight, after work I went swimming with a co-worker of mine.  It felt great even though we only swam for 30 minutes.  I pushed myself a bit and felt great at the time, a big difference from six months ago.  Then I could only swim a length at a time.  Tonight I was doing two at a time and actually probably could have done more had I not been waiting up on my friend.  I didn't want to get too ahead of her.  It was probably just as well, i am feeling it now as I write this.

My stamina is back, my mind isn't as sharp as it was pre-surgery though.  I get frustrated at work as I tend to not think as cohesively as I did pre-surgery.  Is suspect the lack of food and energy sources may be the culprit.  I know I shouldn't drink caffeine, but perhaps it would help a bit more in my mind area.

The difference in the way I move is amazing.  That extra nearly 50lbs was just dreadful.  I can' t believe I allowed myself to get that big?!  Now that I've gotten it off, I can see I am so much better off.  I have not weighed this latest number since about 2006.  My goal is by the time I go home for Christmas this year, to be down a total of 75lbs!  That would be super awesome.

I have quit playing facebook games and now have spent more of my free time planning my new regimen for the healthier me.  It's a lot of work to plan meals and figure out what exercise one can do to "change it up" and keep it interesting.

This is a quick post, but I will post some more pictures here in the upcoming weeks.  I think it has been becoming even more noticeable in the past ten pounds.

I feel so darn good, it is so nice to have lost more weight at one time than ever before.  I have hit a monumental milestone for myself today and I feel great!

Here's a great quote:
"Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."
