7 Months Post-Op

Here I am...7 months post-op, I've lost 112 pounds and over 51 inches overall. Depending on who makes it, my 12s are a bit baggy, most 10s fit, and I've managed to squeeze into some 8s!

It's freezing out here, 39 degrees! I have a ton of homework from my 3 online classes and I have a group study meeting tomorrow with my project management class...so it's crazy busy here for me.

Mac is chillin on the couch reading his paper and watching Borat. Life is good. =)

I want to welcome my new readers, June Wilson and her husband. (June works with me at Northrop Grumman) Hi yall! =)

Talk to ya later! And go Cowboys!!! Woohooooooooooo

Catching up

I took 3 mid terms yesterday, and I had my project management class tonight, so this will be short. Just wanted to give an update, I'm down 110 pounds and I bought some jeans that are a size 8...and they are tight, but they fit. =)

I wanted to add a couple of pics from this past week...


This tree is one of my favorites on our walk to CW. The yellow is brilliant...love it.


Here's another one, golden and orange.


And this is the chocolate cake I made for Justin's B-day.





Justin said it was good...too much sugar for me. =(



This is a pic I took of my friend Ashley, in class tonight...don't you love her 1980's side pony?

So that's about it tonight, tune in later!

xoxo =)

Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!!



We went for our 4 mile walk today, it was gorgeous! It was in the upper 70's and so beautiful, the trees have turned all different colors, red, orange, yellow, and green. Mac made a fabulous spread today, turkey, dressing, green beans, yams, cranberry relish, rolls, and sweet potato/pecan pie. Yum yummmmmm!!



Scott and Justin ate with us, Megan and Aaron didn't make it in time because they had dinner at his parents...so they watched the end of the Cowboys super kick butt game with us. wooohooooooo go Cowboys!! Megan and Scott have to work tomorrow so they headed back tonight.



And of course Flat Brandon had to get in on the act!



I got Aaron and Megan to sit at their settings even though they didn't eat with us


Everyone is full and we're just relaxing.



Tomorrow we're going to a movie and I have mid terms this week to finish up. Oh, and I'm down 110 pounds! Just about 30 more to go. =)

I want to wish a big Happy Birthday to all my peeps...to Aunt Donna (Nov 7th), Jamie (11th), my mom (yesterday), Honkie (today), and Justin (tomorrow)!

xoxo

Wild week!

Last Saturday I left for Los Angeles to audit a couple of suppliers Mon-Fri...Mac was already in CA, he met me in LA and we drove over to Wayfarer's Chapel (where we're getting married) and then drove around the area. It was perfect weather and we had a great time.

This was inside the chapel...here's their site if you want to see more pics: http://www.wayfarerschapel.org/

This was just outside the main door...a little bright! But beautiful.

Here's a cute place we found while walking around. Curl up & dye...cute

Here's a famous landmark in Hollywood, Pink's Hot Dogs. They have a great website where you can see pics of famous people that have eaten there. Here's the website: http://www.pinkshollywood.com/index.htm

Mac had their original chili cheese dog and I had a turkey chili cheese dog...Yummy!

While driving through Hollywood, we saw the writers picketing and Mac honked in support and yelled "Power to the people" as we drove by! Dear lord...

This was in the lounge at the Portofino Hotel...check out the monkey on the menu.

We took a drive to San Diego and walked through the Del Coronado, then we had lunch at Old Town.

This was our dinner at a Mexican food place on Hermosa Beach...Ole!

Here we are just before sunset on Hermosa Beach

Another gorgeous sunset on the beach

We also went to the Rose Bowl Flea Market. It was great! Saw lots of cool things...

We have more pics that we took that include Flat Brandon...so if you want to check it out click on his link: http://www.flatbrandonsjourney.blogspot.com/

It's Tuesday

Time flies! I've been so busy, all day Sunday I did homework and finals. Last night I had a class at ODU and tonight I've been doing homework for school and work!

Mac left for California today, so he's having dinner tonight with his family. Hey everyone in CA!! =)

I'm down 108 as of today, and feeling great. I've got to get myself to bed now, I'm worn out!

Talk to you all soon.

6 Month Check Up

Today I drove up to Richmond for my 6 month ck up appointment with my surgeon, he was very happy with my progress. The nutritionist said I am the new superstar patient. =) Apparently a lot of people that have this surgery don't take it as seriously as I have. Mac is always saying he can't believe how much will power I have and how hard I've worked.

So I'm officially down 106 pounds, and since June 1st I've lost over 44 inches.

Mac took these for me, I can see some little orbs floating around...cool!

I'm off to finish up some spreadsheets for work. Lots to do this weekend, I've 2 finals to take. Took 1 last night. My final grade for that class is an A, so I'm happy.

I'll update again on Sunday. Have a great weekend!
