El dia cinco ... the 5th day that I refuse to forget...
For me today is just like it happened yesterday ... and since four months after that day ... when I could finally get up and move around after a post op complication I have been celebrating every single month ... the anniversary of my WLS ... embracing health and mobility and taking full credit for working my arse off at it too.... it is all good ... I will keep myself in remembrance ... 5 co-morbidities ago I celebrate each and month my monthly surgiversary ...
It seems like it was just yesterday but today it is 5 years and 1 month ago... older/wiser/healthier and with energy to spare ... After a super busy weekend covering at our shop (we prayed for a rain of clients and got a flood instead my my my were we busy) ... my dawgs still hurt from standing all day and into the night yet I did not miss zumba nor my morning run ... and today Monday I hit the floor running and it was non-stop ... barely had time for a break...
So over the weekend I rocked hair in several looks ..and I coiffed, weaved and dolled up many clients... I did so many heads my fingers were about to fall off.... and I never took my high heel shoes off nor did I make a mess either...
Five comorbidities in remission and 203 pounds ago from my highest recorded weight I am celebrating me today... on my monthly surgiversary...5 years -1 month in my digital journal a picture a day keeps the pounds and the inches away...
And I went to work in extended locks like this ... boy had I known it was going to be such a madhouse I would have been with my natural short ... my oh my ... what a crunch...
Thanks for allowing me to share ... snippets for my journal A Picture a Day Keeps the Pounds and the Inches Away....

LOL ... I think I selfishly do it to hold my feet to the fire ... you know my routine ... after working on my feet all weekend and a hectic day yesterday I went out like a light then I was up at around 3 am and could not go back to sleep.... when my friends came for our morning run I was ready ... it was FREEZING out but we warmed up pretty quick and build up a sweat .. it felt sooooooooo good ... I love love love those morning runs....
Today I have on a comfy dress ... it is going to be another crazy one ...SO I came in to work wearing my comfy XS BCBG striped dress.... These were my journal entries in my empowerment journal A Picture A Day Keeps the Pounds and the Inches Away .... a goofy made up accountability tool that has been working for me without fail ... 5 years 1 month post RNY... Took a piccy of my tag...
and me in my comfy lil dress... and fugly thighs and knees...
and a closeup of my hair courtesy of my partner and I did an awesome job in hers too ... a treat to ourselves on Sunday after working our arses off and too tired to go home we all treated ourselves ... from our very own supply ...
and this is another goofy arsed post ... but a picture a day has been keeping my arse in gear ... well that and running... and zumba-ing... and toning... and swimming ..and hot yoga-ing ...and dancing... and toning ... and mindful eating ... even when I have Al hide the Brazil nuts and the raisins because I have NO control with those LOL ... so I tell him "TAKE 'EM AWAY BUT DON'T YOU EAT THEM" LOL....

I have to make it extra special every day ... time is short and I for one am going to rock whatever is left of it ... as long as I have hope, faith and love it is all good.... hope and faith I will have until the very end ... that I know for sure ...

Martita, I know you do celebrate. Besides your running, you rock the yoga also. Seems like you never sit down long enough to even type.
You are a shining example of living life to it's fullest, and giving praise where it is deserved. I also find you to just be so grateful for this second chance at life that you will be around a very long time with your wonderful pictures and your tributes to how you have owned your surgery and make every single day count.
I know I will never see another before you again!!
Congratulations, my friend, on a job well done and still doing!
