This beautiful face is the reason I am choosing to get healthy. Part of me getting healthy is the weight loss. I am currently 390 lbs. This is crazy! I cannot get up any higher! I made the decision last Summer 2013 to get the weight loss surgery. I have done most of my appointments and I have a Psych evaluation, a follow up with my endocrinologist, diet class, and a pre-op appointment before I can get surgery. In the past week me and Billy (boyfriend/fiance) have decided to start eating healthier and helping transition our daughter into a healthier eating habit. She is by no means overweight, in fact there are times I think she seems too skinny, but she is healthy and in a good percentile. She eats to her own appetite and sometimes that does not seem like a lot. I have started to workout. Today I did the Biggest Loser Ultimate workout on Kinect. I only did the pre-test to determine where I am physically. I made it 8 minutes in before my bones were screaming at me. I was not out of breath that much and my muscles were not hurting (I think I will feel that tomorrow), but I realize that this weight is killing my back and my knees, and I am going to have to switch to a low impact workout. So while I was spring cleaning today I looked up a few low impact workouts that I will share with you!
This is my journey through Gastric Sleeve surgery. Follow along and help me out, and maybe I can help you out as well. I am an outspoken, friendly, mother of a two year old girl, and I have a wonderful personality. I am a cosmetologist practicing in my own home. I am engaged to my best friend. My goal is to lose 250 lbs.
