LESLIEH 68 Posted February 24, 2011 So this past week has been an emotional one for me and a major accomplishment. The other morning around 5am I woke up and decided to weigh myself, I'm now in onederland. I so wanted to run thru the streets yelling and cheering like I won the lotto. Needless to say I woke up my hubby crying and he was ecstatic as well, we were up for the day from that point on. I'm now down to 197 and truly amazed at how fast the weight is coming off. I've bumped up my work outs to everyday and even lifting weights everyday. My arms which were sagging bad and I was getting highly self conscious, they are now starting to tone and I'm actually getting biceps that are visible . I'm working out like crazy only because the results keep me going, hubby says thats my new addiction (I'm not complaining). Plus I have a cute lil black dress I want to wear soon, hee hee. On Tuesday I climbed Mt. Rubidoux, for those of you who don't know its a mountain in Riverside, Ca. It's 3.5 miles up and 3.5 miles back. It's a wonderful feeling and a beautiful sight from the top. My biggest goals were met in one week and I still get emotional talking about it but man I couldn't of done this without my wonderful sleeve. I would do it all over again and if you are un-decided get it done, you will not be disappointed. Now to the bummer part, my computer crashed at home and I can't post any pictures. I can only access this website from work and today is he only day I'm working because I'm off to Vegas baby!!!! So for pictures or updates check out my Facebook, I update that allday long from my phone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TijuanaPlication 87 Posted February 24, 2011 Congratualtions and have a great time in Vegas! Take some VERY comfortable shoes, as I had what I thought were comfortable boots when I went there I walked so much I ended up with blisters that hurt worse than my incisions (I went there a few days after surgery).

LESLIEH 68 Posted February 24, 2011 Ahh your brave, I didn't leave my house for the first month. We normally go to Vegas about twice a year, its a 2 hr drive for us. I love it there and I don't really gamble. It's just to get away and Celebrate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
