Another successful day at the gym! I find myself now WANTING to go to the gym where as in the past, it was like pulling teeth and I would dread the days I knew I had to go. This change of attitude and outlook on the gym makes me so happy and gives me the confidence in knowing that there will be changes made and nothing but progress from here on out! 

I got to the gym tonight at 7:10, and did 30 minuets on the treadmill.  Burned 304 calories and went 1.49 miles! I was actually able to do a little strength training today which was AH-MAZ-ING! However between the hip abductor, hip adductor, and  never letting the incline on the treadmill go below 5.5.. MY ASS AND THIGHS ARE FIRE!!! Once I finished all of that I just wasn't ready to call it a night so I did another 30 minuets on the treadmill, went 1.39 miles and burned another 284 calories! 

Starting my night off! 

And the finishing product of the night!

New Beginnings

It's been a LONG time since I have blogged. A lot has went on since October. So here is the wrap up:

I had the Lap-Band Surgery on December 14! Pretty excited about that! The pre-procedure diet was a bitch for the first couple of days, but towards the end it got a little easier. On Dec 2 when I went in for all of my pre-procedure testing we took measurements and weighed in. Here are my numbers:

Dec 2 -
Height 5'6
Weight 266.5
Upper Arm 15 1/5 inches
Chest 52 inches
Hips 55 1/5 inches
Thigh 26 inches
Abdomen 56 inches
BMI 43.0
Fat % 49.5% (how disgusting!!!)


Not very impressive numbers at all, then again that's why I had the surgery.

Post surgery pic, 5 holes!!! and so swollen! 

yay for feel good meds! lol 

On Dec 21 I weighed in at 250.8! Which delights me! Only shows that there is going to be nothing but progress from here!

Since Surgery:
*I have went from a 2xl scrub pants to a xl!!!
*I was able to put on a pair of jeans I have not fit in for 2 years!!!
*Signed back up at AnyTime Fitness this week. Went and did an hour of cardio today, attempted some strength training, but only being a little over a week out from surgery, that did not feel to nice on my incisions.
*Today I put on a shirt that was one WAY to tight and it was actually a little bit big!!!

So I am super excited to see what my future holds and excited to see all the changes that are waiting ahead!!!
