I thought it could be a fun post for people to list things they are enjoying now in their WLS journey and what they are still looking forward to. I'll start! 

Things I'm enjoying...

  • Execising more easily
  • Looking forward to working out 
  • seeing things start to appear: collarbone, jawline, leg muscles
  • Cute clothes given to me by other friends I'm make through my WLS support group
  • How less puffy my face is (I think it was quitting diet coke that helped)
  • More energy

 

Things I'm looking forward to...

  • When I'm free of the second chin
  • Getting to goal weight and buying clothes
  • My wedding!
  • Running when I drop some more and are not in danger or a stress fracture
  • Open water swim races
  • mini-triathalons
  • Making active friends
  • Feeling comfortable sleeveless
  • Working out with my dad when he visit
  • Starting a family

How about you? :-)

All meds gone except my Prilosec

I love my neck and collar area

Seeing muscles under the loose skin

My Muscle Pump class and my endurance for everyday stuff

When my hair grew back, it was curly.  Never in 62 year have a had a natural curl.

Things I'm enjoying...

Flying coach (although I always prefer first class)
Going to the movies
Getting out of my car
Roller coasters
Not being stared at, at the gym
Wearing a swimsuit (yes, even at 190 lbs.)
Accepting myself for all that I am (at least most of the time)
Believe it or not, I like the expectations that friends and family have that I won't get dessert, and if I do, will only take a bite

Looking forward to (second round this time)...

Wearing cute work out clothes
Getting married (with my bf I expect) wearing a cute outfit
Lower sizes
Discipline
Exercising without my knees hurting
Climbing stairs without losing breath
 

 

RNY 8/27/09 SW: 250 LW: 170 CW: 175 On the right path again!!!  

35 pounds of regain!!! 30 lost!!! Just a little more to go.
