Happy Days :)

 It was my daughters 11th  birthday yesterday so we had a big party for her Sunday night. We took her and 8 of her friends to the movies and then she had a few friends sleep over. It was a long night but better than I expected it to be! Thankfully I had my husband there to help... I'm so glad he came!  I'm still in awe of how I fit into the seats at the movies... Makes me smile every time.      Also I went to the bank last weekend and the cashier asked me if I had a sister who worked with me at Stinger.. LoL she didn't realize it was me :) Thats starting to happen quite a bit now and it makes me laugh. Its a good motivator !!!   I'm finally headed back to the gym tomorrow and I'm super excited about it!  It's been too long and I'm glad to be back into my routine.    I cooked up a storm yesterday... Made homemade ground turkey pasta sauce and used spaghetti squash instead of actual spaghetti.  It was so good!  I made my meals for the week and it's nice to be prepared and not have to worry about what I'm going to eat last minute.    Tomorrow is my husbands 25th birthday ( yes I know I'm a cradle robber lol) We're having a big party for him on Saturday.. He deserves it so much!! I can't wait to spend a night with all of our friends.. Ive become a bit of a hermit since my surgery and I miss being around friends.  (plus I bought a new outfit that I can't wait to wear :)   I checked out my BMI today...Even though I don't really think the guidelines are realistic I was curious.  My starting BMI was 56 which put me in the super morbidly obese category.  My BMI is now 34 which puts me in the Class 1 Obese category.  Once I hit 29 I'll be just overweight. I think it's ridiculous that they think a heathy weight for me is 130 pounds. Never gonna happen!!!    But regardless.... Going down 22 points it's pretty awesome.    Even though I have lost ALMOST half the woman I was... I feel like I have become twice the woman I never thought I could be. ....   If that makes any sense at all.  ( it did in my head)   Now that I am feeling more like myself... It's a lot easier to be motivated and excited about the future.    Bring it on. 

You sound so happy and you should be you have worked hard.
Congrats on all your success.

you are awesome, Amy!!!!

Congratulations Amy!  That was a memorable line!  

Awesome experiences to share! We love hearing about those wonderful days.

I love it too when I can fit into any chair I set myself in. I even sat in my grandchildren's rocker earlier this year.

Can't wait for someone to say, "move your skinny ass"!

Enjoy being with your friends.
