Anaheim, let's do this thing! :) Everyone better say hi to me!
I am used to preparing for conferences (usually business related), but there's not really much I can do this for this one. Between my back (still recovering, I know, taking FOREVER) and schooling at home with my daughter this year and my son's 504 getting set up, I feel like I'm running in circles. Nevermind, ya know, running my business. I SO need this weekend. In the worst way. So, come up to me and give me a hug and say hello. Don't worry, hugs don't hurt my back, just don't try to pick me up. LOL
I'm supposed to be in a fashion show or something. I never did figure out if I need to DO anything for it, so I brought a cute little dress that is my favorite to wear out with the hubby. You people are NOT ALLOWED TO THROW **** AT ME. Got it? Good.
Ummm... so I'm still here, barely hanging on, to be honest. This back thing really threw me off my game and keeping up with things here. I do read and I'm still well within maintenance range. Here's my blog post I just posted today:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In theory, I'm getting on a plane in several hours. I have 900 things that need to be done (which means about 2 will actually get done, as per usual when I go to a conference). This one is different though, this time I get to meet all these amazing people that have helped me through my journey and shared their own journey with me. It's been over 2 years since my sleeve and I still can't believe that I did it. I made it. This weekend is a celebration of that.
We did it. -- because I didn't do it alone. I had a lot of help. And I can't wait to hug those people that were there for me the whole way.
Icing on the cake? I woke up this morning to this:
I haven't seen my actual goal weight since back surgery; although I've stayed well within maintenance range. So, this is a good sign. A sign that this weekend is going to be, in the words of my nearly-13-year-old... epic.
It's been interesting these past few months since hitting goal as my body kind of settles around a certain weight. I'm just kind of letting it do it's thing, while making sure I'm getting enough food. I find that, if left to my own devices, I would forget to eat most days. The flip side is to make sure I'm getting moderate carbs. Too many and the snack monster comes out and too little and I start to feel off kilter.
Ah, fun times.
In the meantime... see ya in CA, baby!

I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better, but sorry to hear that you're not back to being 100%! I hate to hear that you're having a rough time. I so wish that I was going to the conference and could meet you and so many others in person. I expect to see A LOT of pictures from all of you when you return!!!
Congrats on the weigh-in this morning!!! :)
