Ummm yeah!!!

So I made it! I am very happy to say I made it past the chicken and beef broth, along with sugar free jello. Now on to the good stuff. Oatmeal, yogurt, protein shakes, and V8...I know to some that does not sound so great, but to me it sounds amazing. I am thrilled to be moving on in this journey especially when it includes bringing better foods.

Today is a big day for me. Today marks one week from my surgery date. Today is my first official weigh-in....and the results please... well weighing in on 4/29/2010 with a total weight of 275 today I weighed in at 256. Yes that is a total of 19lbs. I am stoked! oh and motivated. I was hoping for a good number but seriously never dreamed of one that big. Its exciting and surreal all at the same time. It has been a while since I have seen the 250's, I am a little ashamed to admit, but I am proud to say that I am in the 250's. It was funny the other day my dear sweet friend and i were talking about what I weighed when starting out on this journey, and I stated the facts 275, she was shocked. Not a bad shock, but more of I did not even realize you were that big. She is to sweet. She has never seen me as large as I really am, and that truly means a lot to me. However, I do see myself for as large as I am as well as how thin I am to be.

I need to tell my mom thanks! Thanks for driving me to Idaho to meet with my new "gang". Thanks for letting me chat your ears off and get excited and share this moment with you. It was great I know she wants this for me as much as I do, and that makes it that much easier to accomplish it.
