In a month's time...

So...here I am 1 month ( and a couple of days) later. Things are going really well. To date I have lost 20 pounds pre-op and 16 pounds post-op. I am working hard on that "hurry up and lose it" mentality. I am realizing more and more that my own goals have put me on the path to failure. I officially weigh in tomorrow, and am hopeful to hit another pound, but as of today the total loss is 36 pounds. I haven't changed a size yet, but all of the dresses I was wearing were really too tight and now some of them are getting a little bit loose, but not retired yet.

So here is what is going on:

I am going to a business meeting next Tuesday. I have to fly, so I have several things on my mind about that.
1. I think I have lost enough that I don't need to have seat belt anxiety.
2. I scheduled my first fill for the Friday I get back so I don't have any problems too far from home.
3. I am still on soft consistency foods and I am hoping to remain on track while at business social functions.

I ordered my halloween costume. I took the plunge and only ordered a 2x instead of a 3x. I am usually in a 2x, but costumes tend to run smaller. It arrived, I tried it on and while a tad snug...it is a GO for the holiday. My daughter was SO thrilled that we will BOTH be Viking Queens for Halloween.

I have now upped my exercise. I am at Zumba 4 times a week and reduced weights 2 times a week. They took my old weights and reduced them by half and I will increase them a few pounds each time I go back. I think it is a good plan.

I know some people are daily bloggers, but I have decided to just do a monthly blog in addition to my weekly YouTube vlog. Probably because I feel like I ramble too much in text and at least they put a timer on me in YouTube!

Thanks for reading and good vibes to you all!
