Sunday was not only Mother's Day, it was also my birthday! Mark had a great idea last week to fire up the grill Saturday and invite some of our friends over. We celebrated my birthday and honored his mom for Mother's Day during the cook out. We grilled burgers, hot dogs, and veggies. My grilled tomatoes were soooo good! Suzy brought over a yogurt and fruit salad. Leslie brought fruits, veggies, and dip. And Jaime brought over cupcakes! I did not have to bake my own birthday cake! Her recipe is just a box mix with a can of diet soda to moisten. It was not bad. I was only able to get through half of the cupcake. :)
Water aerobics continues to go well.
To date, almost 5 months out, I have lost 70 pounds since surgery and 92 pounds total. I feel absolutely amazing. There are days that I still feel extremely fat, but they are becoming further and further apart. I still have a long way to go though. I need to lose at least 100 more pounds. As I continue to lose weight, I am noticing places that will need some tucking here and tucking there! :) Especially my arms. WOW! Holy batwings! I have a 20 year highschool reunion coming up in July. It would be nice to get down at least 20 or 30 more pounds before then. I think that is totally feasible with this surgery. I just need to make sure to watch what I eat and continue to exercise.
