4 months already?

Surgery seems so long ago, but in reality yesterday was four months since I had gastric sleeve surgery. These photos are four months apart, I have lost 51 pounds.
I feel amazing! I got the results from my three month postop bloodwork, the only issue is my thyroid is not working correctly, which we knew before surgery. I will have further testing on that in the next few weeks. I started this process wearing a size 28 in pants and a 4X in T-shirts, I am now in a comfortable size 22 pants and a 2X and T-shirts. If you see me on a regular basis, you will notice that I have the same clothes in heavy rotation, bear with me, I'm working on selling some clothes so I can buy new clothes that fit! As far as exercise goes, I continue to go to yoga class and I have started attending a spinning\cycling class, and is always the elliptical. The elliptical is my true love. 
I am forever grateful for everyone's support during this journey so far, and I know that your support is ongoing.
Love you guys!

How is it that 6 months seems so short and so long?

I am in an amazing season of life. It's weird most days and I do not understand the plans the Lord is making, but that is okay. The Lord has timing. This morning as I sat in church, Andy Heis spoke about enjoying THIS time that God is moving in and do not spend all your time and energy looking back or looking too far forward. And at this moment, I am great. Sure things will change and move and explode and calm again, that is life folks. Almost 2 years ago I was originally nominated for the Humanitarian Award, that I was blessed to win 18 months later. The National Obesity Foundation is ran by almost all volunteers and they had a large turn over and my paperwork was lost in the shuffle. Lucky for them, I am persistent and assertive. I called and emailed and called and emailed until I spoke with Mike Panas, who helped me tremendously. As you know, I won that award and had Gastric Sleeve surgery in June, 6 months ago. I cannot say that I wished it would had happened sooner and I cann...

so

so, if you know me, you know that i ask a lot of questions. i seem to wonder about things that no one thinks of.. i will share my most amazing thoughts on here. maybe if you have thoughts, you can respond; if not, it just feels good to get it out. example. why does nabisco continue to make "regular" oreo's, when they have double stuffed? i mean ,why would you not purchase the double stuffed, it's so much better!

Can you please get off my yoga mat?

So this past week, narcolepsy has been winning. I have unintentionally taken a few 3-4 hour naps over the past week. Now before you say, "you're so lucky, I would love to nap." I do LOVE to nap, I love to intentionally nap. You know, to turn on the fan and turn off the lights, put pandora on and set a sleep timer :) yes. But when I sit down to work on a research paper and wake up FOUR hours later, it is no fun. My sleeve (Gilbert) does not always absorb my medication correctly, some days he wants me to be useless and sleep all day. On Tuesday, I again slept through my planned gym schedule. So to show Gilbert who is boss, I grabbed a jump rope and my yoga mat and walked out into a little piece of heaven, on Brunner Street.  If you know Sandy, she likes to get unclose and personal. In this photo, she was technically not on the yoga mat, but she had been! I jumped rope first. Here is Charlie, being all cool. It was a good quick workout, and it reminded me, that I ca...
