One Year Band Anniversary!

It’s been a year today since my Lap-band operation. What a year. Down 72 lbs and 5 sizes. Up in energy, outlook, goals, dreams, marriage, relationships, work, and everything else.

I think I’ve gone on and on about how wonderful I feel and how much healthier I am, and blah blah blah. The truth is I asked Adal the other day if a year ago I had told him we would be going to the gym together regularly would he have believed me. He said no. And it’s true, I didn’t even think I could do it, much less both of us.

We take it a week at a time. There are weeks where we both go 5 times, and some where he goes 5 and I go 3 times, or vice versa.

Some of my friends have asked where I go from here. Where do I go? Easy, another 70 lbs this year as well. That is my goal for this next year, 70 more lbs. I may not hit it, because it is getting more difficult to lose weight as I go on, but I’m going to try! I want to tone the flab as well. I know I won’t look like Jessica Alba, and I don’t care. I want to look like me, but the best realistic me I can be.

What a year.

I can’t wait to see what I’ll be writing about next year…
