From this to that ... SNIPPETS

Five years 5 months post RNY I have been running since before my first year post op ... and today I am running with the same speed I did when I ran on the track team in HS....

From Waddler to Runner (I run 5 to 6 miles 4 times weekly) despite my pigeon toes I never ever trip ... I love to run and I am running for my life of fitness and mobility ... I LOVE LOVE LOVE TO RUN ... WHAT AN AWESOME MOOD STABILIZER TOO....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh and the best energizer and staring me on the way upper LOL

 

From dog owner to ferret lover.... I loved loved my dogs ... I was crushed when my Yorkie was stolen the Pom was also a sweetheart that almost barked me into a nervous breakdown LOL lawd what a barker but I sucked it up cause I did not want DH to tell me 'I told you' LOL ... I loved that dog...

  

and now I am the proud mom of 8 furry bundles of love ..oh I love love love my ferrets and please note that FERRETS ARE NOT RODENTS .. it is a misconception ... google it should you have any doubt ... these little fellows make this entire family sooooooo happy ... they all have such different personalities yet are so much alike ... they are DIVERSITY and I love love love DIVERSITY ...

Today I walked my awesome youngest ferret Beau along the beach ... he loved it ... he was soooooooooooooo happy...


  

he gave me a big kiss...


 

hmmmmmmmmmmmm the best toning is an armful of ferrets and yup except for the dwarf chiquitita they are weighing between 3.5 to 5 pounds a piece believe it nor not...

From a Fat Bride to the love of my life to renewing/reaffirming my vows to him a slender bride 17 months post RNY WLS... check us out ... I was fat and he had an Afro .. now I am slender and he has a transplanted kidney and a partial foot amputation but walks without a trace of a limp and we dance on the good foot ... his miracle kidney is working like a champ ... yup I went from fat to slender and he went from having an Afro .. to having a Fro and with the continued receeding hairline he now has an O... 

We are both goofy and we tease each other ... he with his 'O' and me with my 'Shrinkles' (term copied off a WLS sista on FB)
 

From a Size 4-5X to a size 0-2- and sometimes 4 ....

Yesterday...
 

Today...
 

 

 

LIVING AND LOVING JUST LIKE BEFORE BUT WITH ADDED HEALTH AND MOBILITY I AM ROCKING IT ... ONE DAY AT A TIME, ONE CHOICE AT A TIME...

The day went by so quickly ... I did a million things ... 5 mile run in the morning... 90 minutes zumba toning/fitness combo at the community clinic ...  ran by the shop and weaved one client's hair ... outreach and food baskets... walked the ferrets and spent time on the beach in the sun... and now I am home vegging for the rest of the day.... looking just like this .... 203 pounds total weight loss from highest weight recorded and maintaining seamlessly for 5 years and 5 months ... 
 
Thanks for allowing me to share another goofy thread.

 I love you in the polka dot dress.  I love that dress.  And you have such a TINY waist.

But I really love you looking fierce in those big ol hoop earrings running.  You even look good working out.  :)

 Thanks Heather ... those earrings were a bad idea (but when I wear my short cropped hair out I just have to have BIG earrings  ... I forgot to take them out before leaving to go running ..and almost got caught in a branch ... that would have been a sight to see LOL

Simply wow.  You look amazing.  Did you have to have skin removal surgery?

Thanks.   I had an insurance paid panniculectomy 18 months post op and a modified brachioplasty an awesome gift from DH and family a year after...

 You are so dang cute! I love the running with hoop earrings. A girl always has to look her best ;)

fantastic! I just started running myself and am finding it wonderful!

 Amazing!
