Its great isn't it? It took me a couple weeks to realize I wasn't huffing and puffing up our steps. My house gets cleaner faster-- though I will never be a perfect housekeeper LOL. I am walking more now than I did three years ago at the same weight. Its AWESOME. I also can't imagine what this spring will be like. I just know I am going to grab life by its collar and shake the bejeesus out of it to get all the goodies.

1. Surgery date: July 25, 2006 2. Lbs. lost: 41 as of today. 3. Main source of protein: Unjury Unflavored powder mixed with Swiss Miss Fat Free Hot Chocolate (1x a day), beef jerky, Wendy's Chili, 2% Mild Cheddar Cheese, Turkey Pepporoni (every other day), Chicken, Progresso soups 4. How much water are you getting in?: About 32 oz and slowly increasing. Surgeon requires 32. 5. Are you keeping up with your vitamins/calcium, etc.: Yes 6. What vitamins are you taking? 2 Flintstone chewables a day, Tums plus Calcium citrate (Surgeon recommended), B12 sublinqual every other day 7. Any hair loss? Just begun slight shedding, so celebrating hitting Onederland with a permanent and haircut on October 17th. The volume and cut will 'hide' the loss I know I can expect. 8. What kind of exercise are you doing? Walk a bit, started doing sumo squats and arm exercises, but nothing hardcore lately. Watching for used weight benches to help with that.

I weighed in today at 199.5/199.... depended in where the scale was! I was so happy I even took a picture of the scale and put it on my blog- http://mojodiva.blogspot.com Also have some progress pics there. Next Tuesday I am going to reward myself with a new hairdo. YAY!
