WOO HOO!!

Unless hubby's leave is denied for that week,
 my surgery will be on April 7th!
I was hoping they had an opening in March,
but that's ok. 
I have more time to get back to my low weight.
61 days and counting!!


Oh, and in other good news, the scale moved, just a little...131 this morning.  I'll take it!

my water intake is still slacking and it definitely is affected by it being cold.
so this morning, i set a timer on my phone to go off every 2 hours from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. to remind me to DRINK a bottle of WATER! 
if i already had some water before 10 (since i usually do my coffee first thing) then that's extra.  after 4 is extra too...but between 10 and 4, if i drink 1 bottle every 2 hours, that is just a little more than 64/day.... what i should be doing!

Wanna B thin again...is almost there!

Out of the closet...

ctually, standing right in front of it.
thought i would post these (again, but with a face) to show how on such a short person, the difference of losing what some don't consider A LOT.....to what others have to lose.
I was looking for a picture to change my desktop to (i change it often to different pics of my kids...they enjoy seeing what i picked) and came across these...YIKES!
this was the night before surgery.  OH how UNhappy i look.  it's funny how some days i ask, WHO is that person, and other days THAT is who i still see in the mirror!!
anyhow....me, out of the closet...and standing in front of it!  LOL



WOW....i'm so happy to not be that person anymore.

Edited to take pics down....GOOGLE is scaring me into being 'found out!'

C25K

I'm still going strong on the C25K. 
I actually did what you aren't suppose to do and skipped ahead. 
I originally was doing the same week, 6 days a week for a week.  That got old.  Then i decided to to each week until it was easy or i could increase my time. 
This week i did one day of week 4, then last night, I skipped to week 5 day 3. 
I ran TWENTY minutes straight!  I have VERY SHORT LEGS...i'm only 4'10.5"
I ran at 4.7 most of it, then, upped it to 5 when i had 5 minutes left, then up to 6 for the last minute. 
I did not die, i did not get totally out of breath and i'm not even sore today! 
I really didn't see being about to run a 5K in 30 minutes by the end of this, but if i have 3 weeks to work on speed, i'm sure it's doable now!
HA...probably right in time for my surgery and then i will not be able to run for who knows how long and then i'll have to start ALL over!  LOL

The scale really isn't budging, but it's not bothering me anymore.  I feel leaner than i did before at this weight and i'm sure the scale will move sooner or later.
we are hoping the taxes get deposited Friday morning and that i will get to call and book my date for surgery!

We are having a Super Bowl Party here on Sunday....GEAUX SAINTS!!!! and will have ALL. KINDS. OF. CRAP.....here for the eating.  I think i'm going to make a pot of turkey chili so i can fill up on THAT and it will keep the junk to a minimum.
