Thinking About You All - It Has Been Too Long
I've been thinking about you all, and realized I haven't checked in forever. I thought I'd read up about you all, and let you know what I've been doing. If any of you are on Facebook, I'm there as me, "Pam Smith-Graham", and would love to keep up with you all.
I've not kept all the weight off, but still happy where I am. I'm 10 pounds over the "high" I've set for myself, and working to take it back down. I still fit into "regular" clothes and shop in the misses section. My fear is if I don't deal with it, I'll slowly put the weight back on. I still believe that the gastric bypass was the best decision I could have made, and the weight loss has changed my life and my outlook.
My new excercise activity is tap dance. My sister and I signed up one day a week. It is fun, though I'm atrocious at it. I've ordered a DVD from Amazon so I can practice to it between lessons. I'll need to use the rote and repeat method, I'm definately not a natural dancer.
I'm continuing to work as a consulting project manager, though the contract I'm working on is up in two months. If they extend me, great. If they don't, I'll take some time off before finding a new job.
What do I regret? Only that I didn't use the honeymoon year after the gastric bypass to get a better handle on my food idiocy. I can't eat sugar on an empty stomach, or very much sugar, but I can tolerate just about everything else.
