hey arizona

hey arizona, long time no type to! hope everyone is well. life is good on my end. the hubby and i just celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary on halloween. YAY! life and love are good. i am down 147 lbs now. i have just about stopped losing. i am still excercising and eating well. i don't do the protein shakes anymore, i just can't stomach them. i try to do protein bars and jerky to keep my protein up. it seems to work for me. i would like to lose another 15-25 lbs but if i don't i am o.k. with my weight. i feel great! i am currently inbetween personal trainers again. they keep going away. (I SWEAR i wear deoderant!!!...what's the problem??!!!) anyways, i now have a plastic surgery date scheduled. i have been to 3 consults with 3 surgeons. and i talked with/to a few others. finding a plastic surgery was an exciting but scary process. but i am happy with my decision and i feel that i am going to be in good hands on december 28th. i am having my arms done and my breasts lifted and stuffed. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! i recently emailed OH with some new pics to add to my profile (as i am computer stupid and i can't do it myself) but here are a couple from halloween. i was morticia, my husband gomez and my 5 year old was wednesday. i wanted to be morticia for so long but my body was just not what i wanted it to be...but this year was different...my dress was tight but, i think i pulled it off! i got LOTS of compliments on how my butt looked in it....i mentally thanked my surgeon and my personal trainers with every compliment! anyways, here are the pics. enjoy! http://photobucket.com/albums/f115/humanfund/ brandy
