Hello!

I just wanted to take a moment to say hello and let you all know that I have been lurking for awhile.  I am doing really well, and I hope you all are as well!  Maybe I will get the chance to come to a meetup soon. 

My life is so different, and I am living it to the fullest.  The one thing I really want, a baby, still eludes me, but I am trying to find other things to focus on and hopefully Shannon and I will be starting the family I want soon enough.  I am told if I stop stressing about it, that is when it will happen.

I have decided to focus on P90X and am starting that workout regimen tomorrow.  I cannot believe I used to be over 400lbs!  I can do so much now!  What a blessing this surgery is.  P90X would not have even been a possibility a little over a year ago.  Neither would be feeling the way I do right now!

Thanks for everything!  I hope to see you soon. :)

By the way, I posted a new photo of me on Rodeo Drive in Hollywood.  I finally got to fly and go see my brother.  It is something the weight had prevented me from doing.

Good morning, JamieLynn... Nice to meet you!!!  Congrats on your new life And congrats on your understanding that now that you have this life... you may as well enjoy it!!! 

I have to ask... what is P90X??



 

 

Judy...

You have met Jamie before, you just don't recognize her because of her phenomenal metamorphosis... Wait til you see her in person!

LOL.... that's probably true.... Between her change and my limited recalll i just don't remember!!!  Can't wait till i get to re-meet her in person!!!

Hi, Judy!  Yes you have met me before, but I look forward to seeing you again.  Thanks for the encouragement!  It has been quite a journey.

P90X is an extreme fitness regimen designed by Tony Horton.  I run miles at a time, bike 15-16 miles an hour with the highest tension, and can do things I have never done before, so I thought it would be a breeze with my new athletic self, BUT P90X is kicking my butt!  Whew!  It is rough, but I think it will pay off in the end.

OMG!!! I had to go back through all of your pictures to make sure it was really you!! The smile is the only similarity in all of your pictures. From the wedding photo to Rodeo Drive your smile is absolutely contagious. The new avie is great too!!

I'm in awe of you starting the P90X from what I understand that is a workout that isn't for wimps. I have a hard time just googling it let alone actually considering it. (I'm such a wimp).

Have a great day and don't be such a stranger.

Hi, Annie!

I hope to be at next months meetup or maybe an upcoming grads or plus 50 meeting. Things have been hectic.

Check into P90X.  It is intense, but so worth it.

Hi Jamie,

You look absolutely phenomenal!!!  Congratulations on your success.

I hope to see you in the new year.

Hugs,
