Time

In less than two weeks it will be my one year 'surgiversary'.  2013 was, hands-down, the most amazing year of my life.  I really feel like I got my life back.  I'm proud of myself.  I'm happy for myself.  I'm happy for my kid and my husband who, I think, have a better Momma and Wife due to the changes I made.

Anyway, I'll post more on the actual anniversary but today I opened my weight loss tracking spreadsheet (NERD) that I'd been keeping that I hadn't updated since CHRISTMAS.  Right before Christmas I broke into the 190s.  Then Florida hit and I just came off 7-8 weeks eating not very well and really pushing limits, not exercising as much as I should and I just feel terrible.  It's been absolutely frigid here.  We've had like two feet of snow and just....blah.  It's all around been a huge pile of suck.

The good news though is my weight was completely stable that entire time.  I continued to weigh myself every few days and it was 195/196 or so the entire time.  Ladies and Gentleman, I successfully maintained my weight.  Now I don't now if that's my genetic 'set' weight or not but I am going to try to get down to my original goal of 175.  If I hit that goal though and it's way too hard to sustain it?  I have absolutely no problem with bouncing back up to where I am now (195) and staying here.  If I could stay here with relatively moderate effort for the rest of my life?  Um.  yes please.  I have no need to be any smaller.  I feel healthy, I can physically do way more than I ever thought possible, I look better.  I just. I'm good.  I already won.

Because every blog post needs some visual interest.  Me in new spring clothes this week:
