As many of you know, I've been back to work full time since 7/29/10. Life has reverted almost back to normal. I say almost because of one particular fact. I don't eat at work anymore! No more standing by the expo line and eating french fries all day. No more making a 12 pound pizza and finishing it in one sitting...it just doesn't, nor could it happen, without an extreme amount of pain.
I got the OK last Friday, 8/6 at my one month post op appointments, to begin a workout at a club. I joined Lifetime Fitness for a week of trial workouts. I used to be a member, but I left because I thought they were very over-priced. Now I look at it as a place to begin the reshaping of me. A place I can go to where I have my music and a sense of purpose again. Before, I was lazy and never wanted to go. Now I am driven to go and go everyday! I love this point in my life were I feel like I am rediscovering myself again. I feel a sense of pride in who I am and how weird that it took losing pounds to do that to me. I always presented myself, I think, with great confidence. Before, it was a cloak to disguise how I really felt about myself. Now, my confidence runs through and out of me. I feel like I'm seeing things for the first time and suddenly I want to grasp life by the proverbial balls and take all it has to offer.
I will endeavor to update this blog more on a bi-weekly effort or greater frequency. Thank you to all of my family and friends and co-workers...your support has changed my life.
P.S. I'm down 82.7lbs since 6/26/10!

I am at my heaviest I have ever been.
