So in a couple of days I am 39 weeks out of surgery. I am still losing weight too fast according to the staff at the weight wise clinic. As of today I am down 175 pounds since January 2013 and 134 pounds since my surgery in April. For the last couple of weeks I have stalled in my weight loss for the first time since I had surgery which is normal. I should have stalled a long time ago. Hopefully when I start Bootcamp again next week it will kick me back into weightloss.
Because I had surgery 3 weeks ago I have not been able to workout that much. Just walking. Today I tried running again and I only made it for half an hour before I was completely exhausted. But I also never had the greatest day at work today. So I was already tired before I got there. Now I am having a short day of work and then another day off. With dealing with the fire and having house guests for the last couple of weeks it will be nice to be able to sleep in and not have any people wake me up.
The good news today is my tenants should be able to get home on Thursday so I am pretty excited for them.

2013
So I thought I would do a recap of 2013 which was a pretty exciting year for me...
January - Finally got the news that I am now considered to be cancer free after waiting 5 weeks after my surgery for the news. I was pretty stoked and new that I made the right decision in regards to my treatment. Before I got the news I was not quite sure what I should do.
February - Was waiting for my doctor to come back from holidays to write my other doctor a letter only to find out the surgeon wanted another doctor to write the letter. I finally got the letter written at the end of the month.
March - Met with the surgeon at the beginning of the month and got my surgery date. April 3rd. Now I had to go on a 3 week liquid diet prior to surgery to shrink my liver.
April - Surgery Month. It took me a long time to recover from the surgery because I lost so much blood but it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
May - Not much happened this month. I was just really busy with work since I started working again.
June - Started working out everyday again and was off my blood pressure medications which made me stop passing out all of the time.
July - Went to the states with Adri. Enjoyed hiking and shopping. Officially I lost 100 pounds since my highest weight in January 2013.
August - Went camping and drove with Yvonne across Canada from Thunder Bay to Edmonton.
September - Started boot camp again, celebrated my birthday and Rebecca and Ed's wedding. I got a cat who I named Sasha. I also ran my first 5K race.
October - Lost 100 pounds since surgery. Decided to get another cat, Morgan. Decided I should get my gall bladder removed. Contacted my doctor to get a ultrasound.
November - Met the surgeon who was impressed with the amount of weight I lost. Decided that I should get my gall bladder removed before Christmas holidays. Finished my boot camp class. Got in trouble with the clinic because I have lost too much weight and they tried to convince me to stop losing weight. I let them know that I want to still loose more weight. My niece Julia was born while I was in Lethbridge visiting Michelle.
December - Had my gall bladder surgery on December 6. Took a couple of days off work for that. Enjoyed Christmas with my family and went to a wedding.
So that is a recap of the year. Hopefully 2014 is a slower year with less medical problems and more time to enjoy life.

8 Months...
I am now 8 months out of surgery. I was going to update sooner but I had my Gall Bladder taken out on December 6 which should be my last surgery for a while. I am back at work and I am feeling great an no more gall bladder attacks which is great.
I had a biopsy on December 10 and that was also my one year cancer free date. I am now waiting for the results that will hopefully come before Christmas.
Since I have lots of free time right now I am busy crocheting hats. So far I have 2 done and 5 more hats to go. Hopefully I get them all done this week.
So far I have lost 172 pounds so I am almost at my goal of losing 175 pounds in a year. Then I have to decide what I should do. My team at the clinic wants me to stop losing weight and start to try and level myself off. But I do not think that I want to stop yet. I want to lose around 75 more pounds before I stop. They also want me to stop working out in order to stop losing weight but I do not want to stop yet.
