Two Weeks Until Surgery

[S Russell 0]

I can't say that I am getting nervous, but the entire process has been long. I am scheduled for December 20th, 4 days after my 46th birthday. I guess no cake for me.

Some of my associates have been pushing me along through the process, and have entered me into a Spartan Race in June to push me to get back into shape. With all the procedures completed and only my pre-op meeting left the wondering begins as to how this will actually play out.

I am 330 now and my goal in the next couple of years is 190. From there I can get the skin worked on to reveal the 6 pack that I once had. I work at renaissance faires all over the country, and that means that my tights and vests will allow me to show off what I had when I was in the military.

Russell!!! By now its only one week left and by greatness you will do great. I made a list of all the reasons I am doing this to remind myself of all of the things I am either missing out on, or can no longer do. I find that it encourages me to push myself harder. I am being Banded on Dec 28th and am right behind you. You work at the Renaissance Fairs... and I attend them. I REALLY want to wear one of the "ladies attire" and look decent for children.... hahaha! Cheers to us and our soon to be success!!!
