Sleeve Progression

5/14/2019

After surgery, 9.5 pounds of fat and skin removed forever!

11/6/2017 - My hubby and I put some before and during pics together this weekend. He's also lost a good amount of weight so he can have his knee surgery. We're hoping for a January 2018 date.

Yeah, I discovered Snapchat filters.
Someone please come take my phone.

10/2/2017 - Please don't judge my frown. I'm perplexed at how my face has changed.

I figured I'd post my weight loss progression photos from my Vertical Sleeve Surgery on another page.

It Was Only a Matter of Time...

Well, another week down. It was somethin' else. Things seemed to be moving along great. Last week I was firing on all cylinders. It was the last week that my gym would be closed for renovations, so I was looking forward to getting back to my regular schedule. Kettlebells and I were getting along great. I remember wondering where D.T. was. He hadn't showed up for quite some time. I felt a bit smug. Perhaps, I had him beat. Yeah...right. D.T. and his damn cousin Murphy came back for a visit. They showed up every single day. Little BASTARDS! On Monday, D.T. tried to convince me to step off the elliptical after 45 minutes. I was so tired, so why don't I just check out early. And, I thought about it too. I mean 45 minutes is a substantial workout, right? What's another 15 minutes? I decided to stay on and back off on my intensity. I was able to finish my hour and cool down. So, at least I had him beat that day. Tuesday was just fucked. All the way ar

Make Time...

Happy Saturday readers. Another week has come and gone, and it was a SCORCHER! It's been hotter than Satan's asscrack! I hope you all had a nice Independence Day. It's strange when a holiday falls in the middle of the week. It makes you feel like the weekend came too early...and then you have to go back to work. BLAH! Anyway, I had a productive week. I only worked Monday and Tuesday this week. And, sadly, Tuesday was the last day my workplace gym was open for the next TWO weeks. Some renovations are scheduled, and it will not open back up until July 23. I am really going to miss it, and when I first heard about the closing, I was quite apprehensive. I've been doing so well, and my workouts have become a vital part of my day. What would I do? Luckily, the other work campus also has a gym less than 5 miles away from my location. At first, I thought I'd be able to "hotel" at the other campus so I can use the gym facilities without changi

A Diet By Any Other Name...

Folks, you better hold on tight. It's about to get a bit bumpy. It's time for my first rant, and it's a doozy. I went to my physician today. I needed to get a form signed so I could join the fitness center at my work location. I also wanted to discuss my medications since I was having trouble with one of them, and I didn't want it replaced with another. I wanted to work on my diabetes with the meds I already take and include better food choices and exercise. So, I explained why I was there, and that I didn't want to take any more meds. I wanted to get off the meds. Doc was on-board as long as my blood work didn't show any dire situations. So far so good. I then asked Doc if it was possible that I could get off all my meds by losing weight, and Doc said absolutely. Again...good news. So, Doc started checking my over. Getting my vitals and such asking how I'm planning on losing weight. I stated that I had been on a low-carb diet before (no
