I'm back
Well it's been a long long time since I have posted on here. Life got crzy and carried away. There were some good time and some very bad times. Ugh.
But I can say that I am back on program now. As I may have mentioned before I was planning a trip to Europe in September 2012. I set a goal for myself to reach 160 by the trip. well I was .2 lbs away from that goal which was fantastic to me. That was 39.8 lbs lost from end of April to mid September. Not to bad. Of course, while in Europe I refused to track what I ate. I am a big believer in enjoying the local cuisine when you are abroad. Since I knew the vacations was mostly a walking tour I wasn't too concerned about burning off a lot of what I ate each day. Well I didn't do too bad because when I got home I had only gain 3.4 lbs. Phew! I didn't track very well when I got home but I was very conscious of what I was eating. by end of January I had lost a total of 50 lbs on the program. Not bad for all those Food Holidays. :) So to reward my self and to make myself feel better about some of the bad time I was going through, I decided to get a tummy tuck. I scheduled it for Feb 21, 2013.
Well that was horridly painful and no fun at all to recover from. Worst pain ever. Even worse than my breast reduction. I wasn't sure I would ever feel normal again. Well as it turns out once I got past the first couple of weeks I was amazed about how drastically better I felt each day. Now I can honestly say it was the best thing I ever did and I am so very pleased with the results.
Well that doesn't mean I am done at all. I am back on program now and I am determined to lose 20 more pounds. Then I will be ready to maintain. So... Here goes...... Lets do this!
Glad to know that you're back on the program. I'm also glad to hear that you were pleased with the results of the tummy tuck. I love how you don't rely on surgery alone. It's nice that you're working towards a better body by your own means. You are a great inspiration, Vanessa. I wish you all the best on your journey! :)
