46 lbs left to go!
7.) Have you been exercising regularly? What kind?
Yes, I walk every morning before work, and I work out on my lunch break (weights/cardio/resistance training), although I go through periods when I slack off.
8.) Have you been eating things you are not approved to eat?
Yes, and it's really hard to stay on track now that I've started doing it.
9.) What is your latest accomplished goal?
WLS related? Hmmm...I guess just that I'm DOING this. Every day.
10.) Describe the difference in your feelings from when you began this journey and how you feel now.
Leagues different! I'm happier, more outgoing, less hesitant to do things that I want to do. Tons of energy, and the list goes on forever!
11.) How is everyone around you handling the weight loss? (jealously, happiness, etc...)
Everyone that I've told has been really supportive. Every day at work is like walking a runway. People constantly tell me how good I look, how beautiful I am, and how well I'm doing.
12.) Have you had to lose some friends over the weight loss?
Only the ones that I've avoided because I know they would be negative about my decision. No real loss, since if they can't support me, they weren't my true friends anyway.
13.) Feel free to add anything that has been going on lately or anything that you would like to share!
Still planning our Sept 3rd wedding, and I'm being published...finally!
I'm very happy and grateful
