Half way there as of today

I went to my PCP today and he weighed me in at 214...   as of today I have lost 89lbs    and I have 89 lbs to go... I am half way there...

I go for my three month check up in one and a half weeks ..the 22nd..  I am pushing to loose 25lbs by then since surgery  I am currently at 22 lbs since surgery so it looks like I will make it.. unless I hit another horrible plateau..

Yay for you!!!

Personally, I'm starting my quarterly freakout  about going to see my surgeon. My appointment is next Tuesday. I'll be fine -- I do this every time I have to go to his office.

Don't let it freak you out.. you will be fine.. no matter what they say or do,  all you can do is the best you can..and I know you are doing that.. there is nothing in the office visit that can or should upset you at all... you know your weight so it is not like you have to go there to weigh..you know your eating right so they can't tell you that your not eating right.. you know your exercising so they can't harp on you not doing that.. so what all can they say.. NOTHING that should worry you..
it is just another day of our journey.. it will have been long enough that the nurses and receptionist will probably tell you how good you look and how well you have done.. think of the compliments you will get.. and as for the doctor.. they can't possibly keep up with every patient so they will say basically the same to everyone.. make sure your eating the right amounts and exercise more... basically like a memo letter in their head.. but I am sure you will do fine.. so CALM   think CALM  think CALM.. relax and don't worry.. it is just another day..

Saying all that... I have white coat syndrome...lol   at the PCP yesterday my bp was through the roof.. then they waited a while and took it again.. it was still 180/100  so he has put me back on a low dose bp med.. I hate that.. it is low on many days and normal on others, and yes high on some.. but just like all doctors.. they do not listen and so I am on bp meds again.. but better than before surgery when I was taking 3 and not under control...

THINK  RELAX.. CALM... PEACEFULNESS...

HUGGS...

Thanks for the wonderful support, sweetie!

Wow!  I can't wait for the halfway point!  Maybe in a few months...

I didnt even realize it until I put my weight in and the numbers on the tickers came up the same.. but it sure made my future loss seem so do able.. I am getting excited now that the weight is starting to come off a little faster..

You will get there before you know it.. you have done so good so far...

Teresa, that's great. How did family photo day go? Are you still liking the new hairdo?

I think the day went good and I wasnt hiding from the cameras like I usually do.. I am not sure when we will get the pictures back.. but as soon as I do I will post some of them..

I still love the hair.. I have a wake and funeral today.. I fixed my hair yesterday for the dr visit and this morning all I did was stick in some of the very large velcro type rollers while I ran around and took vitamins and ate breakfast and then fed animals and then put on make up and whew.. that sounds like a lot for 1 hour.. then I took out the rollers.. ran my finger threw my hair and presto  my hair looked like I spent hours on it.. I love it.. and I am not so self conscious about the hair being so thin on top... you can not tell with the layers she put in it and the height above the head , so it is great..

huggs..

Way to go Teresa. Nice work. You will be at goal in no time.

Thank you.....yeah maybe I will get there pretty fast.. ..but  I have a long way to go still .. but I am sure I will get there faster with your motivation to move..   thanks for that..
