Back to school
So I am back at school and this has been quite a successful start to the semester! I have been waking up at 5 am every morning and heading to the gym for an hour. I have kept this up for 3 days in a row along with getting all my homework done, eating healthy and fitting a small social life in. I also have news for you guys, I weighed in my after my first morning at the gym and….
September 1st: 218
September 12th: 215
Week weight loss - 3 pounds.
Total weight loss - 100 POUNDS!!
That day will go down as one of the best days of my life. I have accomplished the goal of loosing weight! I have lost as much as what I was back in 4/5th grade [I have always struggled with my weight]. I am as small as I was in high school, like my sophomore year. I am feeling great and looking even better. It has been such a blessing to see that number on the scale and get the extra push to continue and be in this amazing place that I am, so that I can continue to learn about health and continue to grow.
I feel like I might be the luckiest person alive.
Also this semester I have a new hair style

Bangs, shorter, blonder. I love it.
We went to disneyland last week and this was my early reward for reaching my goal.

That’s right, a buzz light year sweatshirt. :]
Expect to hear more from me, I am taking another nutrition class and a cooking class.

Today is right about my one year since I started working with the doctors to get my surgery. I weighed in at 291 pounds when this picture was taken on the left and today I weighed in at 218. I have lost a total of 97 pounds since my weight loss journey and about 73 since I started working with the doctors.
I am so close I can taste it. I can see it. This is exactly the boost I needed to get refocused. My bum foot is doing better and I am back guys. :)

Weigh in… Thursday?
Yeah I think it works…. So I have been home for about two weeksish and when I first got home my weight went back up and I was way frutrated. So I have been eating more carefully and trying to do more. My first instinct is to be lazy during a summer break, but I need to change that and I am working on it.
So I got on the scale today and this is what I saw….

Uhm pretty sure that is the lowest number I have seen on my journey and I am just soooooo thrilled!!! I am ecstatic.
7/20/11: 221.8
8/4/11: 218.5
Total weight lost: 96.5 pounds
Percentage of body weight lost: 30%
I have only 3.5 pounds left to go before I reach that hundred pound mark. I have a trip that starts this Saturday and ends next Saturday and I am really hoping that I can see those amazing numbers that are lower then 215.
Best day.
