Weeks 23 and 24

Only 10 more days until my 6 month Surgiversary and I am at 99 pounds lost since surgery 136 pounds lost since January 2013.  It has been a crazy last couple of weeks.  I started boot camp class, pilates and Rebecca and Ed got married.  

For some reason I have overcommitted myself once again this fall.  Last spring I had decided that I would make sure that I would say no to people when they asked me to volunteer but once again when people asked I said yes.  It is hard for me to say no to people but I have to practice.  This week I have 3 things scheduled on my phone for the same time.  I am not sure how I am able to do everything but I am going to have to figure it out.  Too bad we cannot live without sleep.

In other news my cat is growing like a weed and really likes to bite and climb and anything.  I have to train her not to bite as much.  My mom laughs and says that's what cats do but since I have never owned a cat before I never knew that. Oh well I guess I just have to google how to teach her to stop biting.  I am always on Google trying to figure these things out.

Week 22

Only 4 more weeks until it has been half a year since my surgery.  Time flies when you are busy.

When I was talking to my Mom yesterday I realized that this year has been a busy year for me.  I bought a house, became cancer free, had my gastric bypass surgery and got my cat.  When I had my birthday last year I could not even dream of all of this stuff happening.  I actually never even thought of buying my place then.  And then the week after I bought my place.  I can be quite spontaneous and so on Thursday I was looking at places kind of dreaming about what I wanted and on the Saturday I placed a offer on the house.

So as of today I have lost 133 pounds.  Which is a crazy amount of weight.  I also started back at the gym 5 or 6 days a week and I am sure feeling it.

Week 21 and 5 Months

Last week I went to Ontario on a plane and I never had time to blog.  It was a refreshing change to be able to go onto a airplane and not need a seatbelt extender.  

Yvonne and I drove from Thunder Bay to Edmonton in a couple days for Yvonne's final year at school.

This week I also got a pet cat.  I have never had a cat that lives inside my house before but so far it is going pretty well.  It is a huge change for me because now I have someone to come home too.  My cat Sasha.

So I am now 5 months out of surgery.  I have lost 91 pounds since my surgery and 128 pounds total.
