So I finally decided to start my blog so I am able to journal about my journey to becoming fit and healthy. I start my liquid two week diet tomorrow! I am very excited to start the liquids only because I have been pigging out for the past two weeks and feel absolutely STUFFED! I know the next two weeks will fly by because I work the night shift and either I'm working or sleeping--- no time for eating...lol

My surgery is scheduled for 7/17/12 @ 7am... as of now I am just totally excited about the surgery. The nervousness and anxiety hasn't kicked in yet. I have spent months reading about everyone's experiences on here and feel pretty prepared about the numerous outcomes.

I know I am going to be successful at this because I want it way too bad to not be. I am starting pre-op at 5'6" and weighing 225. I am a confident person and have no problem with the way I look now, I just know I can look better and more fit. I'm very excited to get this weight off and start building more muscles. I want to be toned and athletic (really, me??!) YES ME!

I hope to track my journey often and tune back in for more!
