June 15, 2010 -145 lost & counting!

Still losing!!! I have now lost 145 lbs total! That is -96 since December 7, 2009. I am still feeling amazing! It seems I just don't stop long enough to get to my computer as often now! I don't nap anymore. I am able to go all day long with the kids, running errands as I need to... work on the house, etc! Yes, I do feel tired at night... but still tend to go to bed too late! (as right now it is pushing 1:30 in the morning). But... the tired, is a good feeling! I have my 2 kids that I need to keep up with! Ha... I have always said that Benjamin was 10 steps ahead of me, but now... he's only 5 ahead of me, and I am catching up!! =)
I am still going to the Anytime Fitness Center here in town! I am really actually enjoying it. It seems the strength training and stretching part of that is improving the most! As for the walking, the speed and distance is improving too! Just all the way around, I am feeling great! It's been 6 months now, but it has really gone fast, and I have learned SOOO much. So much about healthy eating, so much about myself, good things to a better life! It hasn't been easy, but it really has been good for me!
Thank you again... each one for your fabulous support! I really do appreciate each one of you so much!
Until next time... love to all! Eydie

This is an incredible journey! One I am on with each one of you! It is a tough road... but the ride is well worth it!!! With each mile I go, the better I feel!!!
Thank you everyone!!! Hope you all have a beautiful, and wonderful weekend!!!

Comparing pix!!! Seeing the difference!

Ahhh.... the proof is in the pictures!
The first picture is me at my highest weight. I want to cry when I look at this picture now! I am usually happy, but I was tired here, and you can tell... I really am NOT happy at all!
The second picture was taken December 7, 2009... the day I had my gastric bypass surgery! My dad and I. I had already lost 49 pounds!
The third picture was taken in May when they were here! I have now lost 91 pounds since surgery. 140 pounds from the beginning!
Thank you each one for your part in helping me to succeed!!!
Love you all.. Eydie

I just have to post this picture! My Sis-In-Law Lora sent me this Happy Face T-shirt from The Bahamas! She said it would be great from exercising in.. and yes... it does work great! Thank You!!!
I have now lost 140 pounds! WOW.... yes, I am SOOOO excited! I do have a little bit left to lose, really don't know just how much yet, but still on the downward slope! I have not set a goal yet, as I want to just wait and see how I feel. I am 5'7" and my papers say the low end is 120 lbs, and the high end is 150 lbs. So... will wait and see when I get close to that... but I do think 120 would be too low?!?!
Anyway.... I am still working out at the Anytime Fitness Center here in town. I am starting to really feel a difference now. Doing the walking and the bike. But also the resistance and strength training too, and it is helping the muscles, toning and getting stronger. I had been doing some things here at home, but guess I just didn't have the right equipment.. or just wasn't doing it right... or long enough... or... whatever! But... it seems to be helping so that is the main thing.
It sure feels good too, having better health, more energy, etc. Able to work more around the house, feel better with the activities of the kids too. Not tired all the time! I used to say my kids were always 10 steps ahead of me. Well, now they are only 5 ahead of me, and I am catching up! =)
Well, all for tonight. Hope this finds you all doing good in your little corner of the world! Thanks again for your love and care and encouragement! It means the world to me!!!!
Love to all! Eydie
