SHAMELESSLY GOOFY... DO I REALLY CARE?

 HMMMMMMMM ..... NO! Not really .... I am having fun ... on my journey... What's my journey? It is my life and I am living it one.day.at.a.time .... with health and mobility ... with joy in my heart ... joy that by far compensate for all the tears I still shed and all the smiles that I embrace daily ... the later is much greater than the former indeed .... and my former was good...

From my journal a picture a day .... my personal conclusion:  IMO (and I speak ONLY for me) NO FORM/TYPE OF WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY WORKS AS A STANDALONE TOOL ... THE **** TAKES A LOT OF INPUT ... AS WELL AS OUTPUT ... THERE ARE RULES AND PROTOCOLS TO BE FOLLOWED IN ALL ...

What I put into my PERSONAL weight loss journey ... (not only what I put into my mouth) but ALSO the effort I put into keeping my body fit and moving is just about the same effort my group of friends (of which the ONLY one with WLS is I) are putting into their wellness journey for life...   WHEN I GET MY ARSE UP TO RUN AT 4:00 AM OR TO DO A FITNESS ROMP IN THE PM OR ON A SUNDAY MORNING ... When I hit the pool to swim laps or go to Bikram for hot yoga body detox and mental relaxation because I WANT TO ...  I RESERvE 100% RIGHTS TO PICTURE ***** ALL I WANT TO ... LOL... oooppsss.... ONLY UNTIL OH TELLS ME NOT TO ...which I hope they don't as I try to encourage myself here or maybe ONE other sista or brother on the journey ....   IT IS MY JOURNEY AND I AM LOVING IT ... ONE.DAY.AT.A.TIME .... ONE SWEAT AT A TIME .... One kick in the arse at a time to get up and get moving ... ONE GET A GRIP SPIEL AT A TIME when I know that one extra raisin is going to make me feel like **** ...   Should I fall (oh and life is all about taking falls and getting back up and not staying down)... I AM GETTING UP ... I WILL BE RUBBING MY GENETICALLY PLACED BIG BUTT THAT I STILL HAVE TODAY (any ideas how to lose it?)... AND STARTING OVA .... no matter how many times I try or how many times I fail....   From my WLS 2/5/07 to date.. I have tracked it all ... a picture a day...  

 



my bedroom is my palace ... very rarely I show any picture other than in from of my busted wall that I painted in my floor damaged basement...



 
 WOOT ... GOT MARRIED FAT AND REAFFIRMED MY VOWS THE YEAR AFTER MY SURGERY SLENDER... FROM 2008 TO 2011 STILL FIT THE SAME DRESS ... WHICH I WILL BE WEARING AGAIN A FEW MONTHS FROM NOW TO AGAIN REAFFIRM MY VOWS TO THAT SPECIAL MAN IN MY LIFE...

I WAS A FAT BRIDE AND I REAFFIRMED A SLENDER BRIDE ... I MET HIM WITH AN 'AFRO' ... THEN HE HAD A 'FRO' ... AND NOW HE HAS AN 'O' ... BUT I STILL LOVE HE AND HE LOVES WRINKLY DIMPLY ME LOL FAT OR SLENDER....

 

RUNNING FOR FITNESS EVERY 5-10 OR 20K I CAN RUN I RUN IT! AND I RUN JUST EVERY OTHER DAY TOO...

 

HECK EVEN GOT THE WHOLE FAMILY (MINIS DH WHO PHYSICALLY CAN'T) RUNNING...   ME AND MY SON ... MY PRIDE... MY JOY AND MY BIGGEST PITA...

 

AND KEPT TAKING A PICTURE A DAY.... RANDOMLY....  



 
 

 
   

GOOFY PICTURES DID NOT MATTER...

 

I JUST KEEP IT MOVING AND DOING ME ... AT THE END OF THE DAY IT IS MY JOURNEY AND I AM OWNING IT THE WAY I LIKE ....

 

WOOT .. EVEN FIT INTO A SUITCASE ... AND CLOSED IT UP ... JUST BECAUSE lol...

 

AND THIS IS MY WEEK IN PICTURES ... A PICTURE A DAY ... KEEPS THE POUNDS AND THE INCHES AWAY...  

 

Hey ... I am an OLD girly girl ... AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ... that is after I progressed from my childhood tomboy days ... hey was the best one climbing the trees and winning at games of marbles in the dirt with the boys ...    I LOVE TO READ... I LOVE TO  WORK... I LOVE TO DINE IN OR OUT AND MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES FOR ME... I LOVE TO EXERCISE (EVEN IF IT MEANS TAKING A MENTAL SHOT OF GERITOL OR KICKING MY ARSE INTO GEAR) BUT MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE ... I LOVE HAIR AND CLOTHES AND GLITTER AND SHINE ....    WHAT A GOOFY POST ... AS GOOFY AS MY JUNK FOR FUN EARRINGS DRAWER ... I WON'T SHOW YOU MY BRACELET DRAWER ... I LOVE LOVE LOVE CHARM BRACELETS .. AND I HAVE FILLED HOW MANY PANDORAS? HMMMMMMMMM HAVE ONE IN REAL GOLD TOO...

Great job and if ppl don't like ur pics... OH WELL!

I love that suitcase too ... I am going to make sure I can fit in it each year too LOL ... any tool that works I am goofy enough to try...

Martita,

I love your posts!! They are why I come to OH.. I find them soo uplifting!!..They make me smile, laugh, and know that I can find energy and laughter anywhere I want if I just look for it!!.

I love your picture a day idea!!.. My hubby thinks that is the way to go for sure!! .... In looking at all your beautiful pictures and noticing your gorgeous shoes... might I ask.. do you happen to share my addiction to pretty shoes??   Your son is very handsome... and taller than his MOM!.. I am learning to know how that feels.. my oldest boy is taller than me now.../sniffles... I tried to growl at him the other day and its really hard when you have to crane your neck to look up at him!!! :))

 Mi hermana linda!!!! Thank you so much for your encouragement and support always!!!! 

M-you know what always gets me the MOST about your pics? Even though you have ALWAYS been beautiful, of course, you look progressively so much HEALTHIER-and even YOUNGER-as your pics go along ...

Your wedding pics are probably my favorites..

And NONE of your pics are GOOFY, in my opinion...or maybe I LOVE goofy...

PLEASE never stop sharing !!!!

 Thank you Gina ... can you imagine when I picked DH up from the post-surgical rehab facility where he was at a few weeks back for a month one of the patients asked him if I was his daughter LOL ... I was like yikes oh no!!! ... but Al just laughed it off... and was tickled LOL ... I am pretty sure the patient needed better eyeglasses LOL

You are HOT! Look at you! You are so radient as the pics go on!
You are awesome! I hope to be as successful as you!

Also the suitcase pic made me lol so hard!! XD
