Feeling fat again :-(

I am feeling so fat the past couple of days! I was out of town for work and was eating out every meal. I tried to be healthy but sometimes it wasn't so easy. I had way to many carbs and am now feeling so yucky. I weighed in today (I do it every Sunday) and have not gained any weight. I am happy about what the scale says but I am still feeling fat. I did a 10 mile hoop-walk today so hopefully I will get back to feeling good soon. Now that I am home I am getting back into my routine and getting back into my healthy food.

I have my 6 month check up at the end of April so I am excited to see what the Dr. Boyce has to say about my progress! I have to do blood work at this appointment, boo, I hate having to give blood. But hopefully all will be well, I am mostly concerned about my iron count. Iron is a big deal especially because if I need infusion's it will be BAD iron infusion's make me SO sick, all iron makes me sick but I can not become anemic that is really bad. So fingers crossed all will be well, I have been taking my iron pills and multi-vitamins (which all make me not feel so good because of the iron) so I am sure all will be well.

Time to get back to eating better and working out. It's amazing how far off track you can get when you are out of your comfort zone. But I did enjoy those dessert's I had :-) I guess a treat every now and then isn't too bad as long as you don't take it too far and know when to say when. Will power is key.

Hooping fun!

Had a great time teaching people how to hoop and showing off my skills :-) This is how I have been exercising it has really helped me get active!

Thank you to Amanda for the great pictures!

Picture updates :-)

Me 4.5 months after surgery!

I'm such a slacker.... Sorry!

Hey everyone, sorry it has been so long since I have written I am the worst! But I am trying to get better! Well the good news is I am not such a slacker with my weight loss :-) As of today I am down 90 pounds! I am still training for the Country Music Half Marathon, we are about 6 weeks away from the event. We will be doing 8 miles this week, YIKES! 8 miles of hula hooping might just kill me, haha, but I guess I better get to it since the event will be 13.1 mile of hooping!

I am struggling a bit with crazy cravings right now. Like Cracker Jacks, I want them so bad I can't stand it! I do treat myself to them every once in a great while but I know better than to make it a habit. Do you know how hard it is to find cracker jacks now-a-days? VERY which is good for me it keeps temptation away. I am also a bit disappointed that they don't come in boxes anymore and they don't put enough peanuts in them (peanuts are my favorite part)!

I have been trying to avoid buying clothes since I am dropping sizes so quick but I think I am gonna have to break down and go get some new pants, mine are barely staying up, lol. My mom tells me everyday "Those pants need to be taken to Goodwill" so I guess when I go to donate all my old stuff I'll pick up some new sizes :-) It feels so good for my clothes to be baggy and not so tight I can't breath.

The weird thing is even though I have lost 90 pounds I don't see myself any different. I mean don't get me wrong I feel great physically but I don't feel that I have changed on the inside which is good. I am happy and getting to do things I never thought I would before, like hooping a half marathon!!!!

I guess I better get off here and get myself to the store before my pants fall off again and I moon the world, lol!
