closing in on 40 lbs lost!

yep, thats right! almost 40 lbs gone! i dont miss them a bit!

i went through my closet, and got rid of some clothes that were too big. now, that was exciting! i am kind of in between sizes right now. so i need to kick it up at the y next week, so i can fly rightpast and fit into the clothes i got from my friend kristie. she is an inspiration! she lost 110 lbs . she did it with weight watchers, and exercising. she looks amazing. i cannot wait until i am down 110 lbs! but right now, i am almost a third of the way to my goal! that seems like so far away sometimes, but i know that had i not gotten the surgery it would of taken me probably about a year to lose 37 lbs. truthfully... i would probably put on another 37 within a few months! so i am not complaining.

i am seeing changes, little ones, but significant ones, nonetheless. i can get out of bed without my ankles and knees hurting. i can go up my stairs, and not feel like i just ran 3 miles at top speed. and i am not 100 % sure, but i think i may have a collarbone, and a hip bone underneath there! i felt them. AND..... i am almost down to just one chin!!!!!!!!!!!! go me!

its the little things that are making me happy these days.

i also found out why they stress drinking water! i got a little dehydrated on friday. not fun. so, i will not be playing any games with water from now on. it is attached to me, now and forever.
