About Me

On June 2, 2012 I had Gastric Sleeve surgery in Juarez, Mexico. This blog follows my journey, thoughts and challenges regarding a lifetime of being "just a pretty face" and the road to a healthier me!

41....and that is not just my age anymore!!

Surgery date: June 2, 2012
8 weeks/5 days since surgery
Total weight lost...................

Oh my gosh.....never thought 41 would be so fabulous.  Literally.  Not only did I just turn 41 years old 2 weeks ago but TODAY.....I hit the scale and I have lost 41 pounds!  That is INSANE to me!

I am finally starting to "feel" smaller.  I have felt soooooo fabulous, healthy, and happy for a long time since surgery but I am finally feeling smaller. People notice! I can see it, feel it, love it.  Everything is so big on me. Kinda sad to see some clothes go.  I have pulled a lot of things out of the closet to sell and holding on to some things because they just fit better or look ok even if they are a bigger on me.   Shoes are even getting big.  Had no idea my feet were fat too.

I have talked about how much I regret not doing measurements before.  I sooooo wish I did.  But when at the outlets the other day I did let a undergarment/pajama store do my chest measurements.  That is one measurement I knew.  I measured 2 sizes smaller around and 1 cup size smaller.  YAY YAY YAY!!  I think boobies are overrated anyway.  All they are is fat!!  So I have wanted that part of me to trim up anyway. Not attractive when they are hanging to your knees 20 years from now anyway.

As soon as I join a gym, I will get my current measurements.  I went today to join the little place by my house and it was closed/locked.  Not sure I like that too much.  Not sure if they are only open when they have the classes or not but I am hoping it is a place I will like.  I am soooo ready for some cardio. 

PS:  I am soooooooo stinkin close to being in one-derland it is almost like I am waiting to win the lottery.  One-derland will happen this week!  Amazing!
