hello everyone..

well yesterday and this morning had some very big wow moments for me..

yesterday day the wife and i had to go shopping to buy me a suit to wear to a funeral this weekend... so i had absolutely no idea what size i am in dress clothes any more so i started tiring on jackets... started with a 48L (used to be 52-54L) and you guessed it WAAAYYY too big ended up going all the way down to a 40L and decided that a 42L slim cut looked best(still have broad shoulders).. so than to the shirt.. the guy measured me and told me that i was a 16 35/35 shirt so of course i grabbed a 16 1/2 and put it all on and the shirt looked like a tent... i had to get a 16 slim cut shirt... SLIM CUT coat and shirt... ME what is going on... this isn't right the fat guy buying slim cut.... i have been buying "big and tall" or "husky" as far back as i can remember...

so my second wow ..
after the suit yesterday i decided i needed to do an "official weigh in" this morning which is a morning weigh on the wii ( it is the closest scale to the one at prh office) and it tracks everything and calculates your BMI..

so i get on the scale and it computes my BMI and it came up 24.86.... NORMAL omg i an a normal body weight !!!!!!!!

i never in my wildest dreams thought i would ever get to be "normal" but here i am 38 weeks out of surgery and i am normal...

well thanks for all of my OH friends help along the way !

lets see what the next 38 weeks bring!!
