Good morning!!!

02/06/2023

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here! But happy 2 year surgery anniversary to me!!! Best thing I ever did for myself. November and December I slacked on working out. But I started to get back into it in January and will keep it up!

So I’m always looking for healthier snacks. And the bariatric pal website has lots of things on there to try. Even though their name is bariatric pal doesn’t mean you have to be a bariatric wls person to try. So each month i plan to try some new things.

Last month I tried Proti chips. Cute play on words for protein chips. I tried sea salt and vinegar, dill pickle, spicy nacho cheese and ranch. My favorite was the sea salt and vinegar with the spicy nacho cheese in second. The ranch and dill weren’t bad but if I only had to buy one flavor it wouldn’t be them. I would do the variety pack again. Not bad for 14-15 grams of protein for a snack. And pretty low carb too. Give you the crunch of eating normal chips.

February 2021 versus today.

Never in a million years did I think I would ever wear this type of workout outfit out in public. Normally I would wear what I was wearing on the left with a baggy t-shirt. I would never dare wear something form fitting like this. To wear it and be comfortable is so mind blowing to me. I stepped out of my comfort zone today and I rocked this s**t.

I’m so proud of how far I have come. I have also been nominated by a local nutrition medical office to share my story. If I am picked I’ll record a video and share my story to let people know they can do this too. Sure wls may not be for everyone and that is totally fine. And some still may think it’s the easy way out when it’s far from it. But it saved my life. It has added years to my life. Added years for me to be around for my daughter.

You can do it too. Is it always easy? Nope. Is it worth it? Yep! Im a open book with my journey. If you have any questions just ask 🙂

Happy transformation Tuesday!!

I know BMI isn’t everything. And I know many athletes who are extremely healthy and their BMI is not “normal”. But honestly I don’t think my BMI has been “normal” since I was a child. So this is quite mind blowing to me. I am 5’5” and 148 lbs currently. I am happy where I am. I don’t care to lose more weight at this point. I am happy to just maintain at this point.

Never in 1 million years did I think I have the confidence to rock a body suit. I was the one who would never tuck in her shirt, wear a tank top without something over it, let alone a body suit. I’m gonna rock the hell out of this today even if I am bloated from my period.

A day late but transformation Tuesday. April 2021 vs April 2022.

I have finally hit, well technically surpassed my goal weight. When I first started this journey I told my surgeon my goal weight is 150. The last month I have been going back and forth between 151-154 and honestly I was completely fine with it. I was diagnosed with covid this week and my appetite has been crap. But I have been forcing my self to push fluids and protein shakes so I can least hit my protein goals. My appetite is better today than the last few days. But when I stepped on today and saw 148.2 lbs I was shocked. I never got to see the 150 but I’ll take it. I am happy where I am. From 266 to 148! 118 lbs down!

February 2021 versus today. I have to do these photos to show just how far I have come. I am still strength training. Getting stronger and more fit. I’m so much more happier.
