18 months later


100lbs lost and holding. 
(Second guessing my choice to wear a flowy shirt for this picture. You can't see my 6 pack. Kidding, kidding )

Pre-surgery. March 2013

I've been holding at 100 lbs for over two months now. I feel like there's more weight to lose but I'd *like* to think some of the weight comes from muscle gain. I've been going to pilates 3 times a week, most recently to a class that is both spinning and pilates together. I think they should just rename the class it OUCH!  And surprisingly...I can hold my own when spinning. I was expecting to pass out dead at the first class.

Life is so wonderfully busy right now. Our family is active and involved...in the community, our church, kid activities. I wonder what this season might have looked like if I didn't have the energy I do now. If I had never lost all the weight or learned to sleep. And honestly there some days where it seems so far behind me that I don't even remember.

Until I go to a restaurant and eat just an appetizer, or fully enjoy riding a roller coaster with my kids at the zoo. Then I remember.
