What a beautiful day in the neighborhood! The Lord has blessed me with another day and the sunshine that warmed my skin was an awesome sight to see/feel today. Can one tell I had a good day?
My day started with getting to sleep in because my wonderful husband took our son to school today. Well, I say sleep in but in reality as soon as they walked out the door, I flipped on the tv. Something about being a middle aged woman and extra sleep....doesn't compute. It was a productive girl day though. After the usual run of picking up the house, paying bills, folding several loads of clothes and making beds I was off to the salon. Or, as we like to say in the south, the beauty shop. I'm not sure how much beauty I left with but I did leave with much less gray and much less hair. The thinning of my hair is a post surgery anomoly that I wish I didn't have to endure but alas I am the lucky winner of the thin hair award. Cute new 'do for me.
Saw the surgeon today as I celebrated my nine month surgiversary. Nine months ago today....life as I knew it was forever changed. I was very please as I left his office for he assured me that everything is going as planned. I may still lose alittle but he seems to think that I've hit bottom. Now, to maintain the weight. The vast majority of VSG patients will "bounce up" alittle after they have hit bottom. I am really NOT looking forward to this for my brain is a sick little organ. I've been so used to watching the scales fall that to watch them go up could really be a stressful event. Logic needs to remain forefront and my heart needs to back away from the scale!
The numbers are in and I have officially lost 103# and 67 inches. Labwork will be repeated in December and I welcome those numbers. They HAVE to be good. I feel too good to have losey numbers. It is an interesting subject...numbers. I've never been good at math but I sure can subtract weight and inches! The most fun I've had doing measurements in a very long time...actually ever! I'm sure that my math teachers wish I had been this intrigued 30 years ago with numbers.
As I close the book on the day I will lie my head down and smile. I smile not only because of the events of the day but because I know from where my happiness comes. It is no longer tied into how I look or how someone treats me. It comes from within.
