SUMMER TIME.........AND THE LIVIN' IS EASY! (Well, if the rain ever stops it will be!)

Ok. So, summer is here and I am facing the fact that......................I GET TO BUY A NEW SWIM SUIT!. Wanna know why????? HUH????? HUH????? Cause, I got on the scale today and am at the ...............wait for it.......................80 pound mark! Can you believe it? I didn't. Got on twice just to make sure. I feel awesome. It renews my spirit and reminds me that I am on a journey to the new me. Now, if the weather would cooperate I could get outside and tan this white body. New pictures soon. Happy summer!

I'M BAAAAAAAACK

Ok so you know how when you aren't really loosing weight you don't really want to talk about it? Well, Hello! That's me. So I was stuck for sooooooo long at the same weight and frustrated. I MEAN FRUSTRATED!!!!!!! And I hated it when people would ask "How are things going with your band?" I really wanted to say "None of your *&&% business." I'm being honest. And I kept having people leave me messages to update my blog (Kimmy :) )So, Ok. Here it is. I FINALLY, after 12 fills, and countless additional pokes in my belly, have my band to a point where it is starting to work for me. It has been very difficult getting to this point, and I now feel like I am actually just having to start learning how to "use" this thing. I got on the scale today and have finally made it to the 66 pound mark. YAHOO! So now I just need to keep plugging along. My short term goal is 14 more by the end of April. Long term, well, I turn 40 in September and will be on my way to Cabo shortly after that. I am hoping to be in a size 12 (YIKES) by then. I know I can do it. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers and I continue this journey. Love to all of you.
