Instead of throwing in the towel ... wrap it around....
Yup... I get to wrap that same towel that could barely meet from breast to breast in the past .... Today I wrap it around me with major overlap and room to spare... yup I definitely could not do that before my RNY ... to this date one of my most enjoyable NSVs ... and there are many....
I love rocking my journey ... and I have done so pre, post, during, in maintenance and every single day ... and I capture it all in my digital empowerment journal "A Picture A Day, Keeps the Pounds an the Inches Away",,, Life is full of awesome surprises every single day ... some make us laugh... some make us cry ... others make us smile but all in all living is the most awesome ride of all ...
I love to post snippets of my journey and have been so extremely busy with intensive training in my new position that I TOTALLY LOVE that I barely get to post as much as I would like to ... heck this year I even have to cancel my plans to attend the OH Conference because of this promotion but I will DEFINITELY not miss it next year as I have had a ball at all the OH conferences and events and there have been several that I have attended ... I encourage all to attend an OH Event ... it is awesome meeting the people we interact with online IRL...
I am keeping my eyes on the prize of health, mobility and happiness ... I am embracing joy and just making it happen to me...
My week in photos.... Maintaining a total loss of 203 pounds for 6 years and almost 8 months now...
I hid my wigs and extensions from myself (shhhhhhh they are not to far away though LOL) and have been wearing my own short crop for the past couple weeks ...
My empowerment collage this day.... Before and Today....
I am still loving my tiny labels ... and that my tape measure and scale are awesome tracking tools in conjunction with my food journal and fitness routine .... I love love love an early morning run along the beach and back and I do that 3 mornings a week and avg of 5-7 miles each time I run...
Me at work last week ... my empowerment collage...
and I love awesome furry love every day...
and being ushered off to work with warm and fuzzy kisses from my toy poodles and ferrets...
This is my goofy snippet for today ... on my walk away from morbid obesity one day at a time ... one choice at a time ... 5 co-morbidities in remission ... I am embracing and looking forward to each new day ...
Thanks for allowing me to share ...
