Lady in red?

So I weighed myself today and FINALLY the scale is working with me. I was very pleased with what I saw, 5 pounds lost (2.27 kg). So I am in a great place but then what happens? SHe shows up today, damn red menace...so I am a bit apprehensive about what next weigh in will show. But I will take this victory and be happy.  Afterall it is a victory.  10 weeks until surgery. I went for my required pre surgery mammogram on saturday.  I should get those results back soon, it was certainly a challenge because anytime you are dealing with the big C, it just freaks me out.  Many of you might have seen the outfits posted on FB, I went shopping with two friends from spin class and had a ball! It gave me a glimpse of what life will be like after surgery. Very exciting! Well thanks for reading

Good News..Bad News

I weighed myself today and I Gained 2 pounds (.9 kg).  This is my SECOND week of weight GAINS!!! I am trying to figure it out.  The first week was DEFINITELY due to the RED MENACE.  However, this week, in spite for being on spring break, I still worked out.  I did indulge in some dessert choices but it was one piece of pie for God's sake, not the whole pie!!! I am very upset but I have to keep going, I have no other choice….On a completely POSITIVE note, I have a huge announcement! My plastic surgery is SCHEDULED for June 28!!!! I met with a plastic surgeon over break that specializes in body contouring of the formerly obese. He is AMAZING!!! I will be having a lower body lift, my arms, flanks, and a breast lift with a possible augmentation in October. I have to tell you the doctor is in his 50’s and when he saw me he could not STOP telling me how gorgeous I am! He was talking about my symmetrical face, bone structure etc and was sooooo excited saying that I will be ready for the pages of Playboy when he is done with me! I was really flattered as he told me that I clearly have great genes and my parents must have been really good looking! He also told me that I should not be concerned with future pregnancies and he showed me clients that had their contouring done and then had a baby and they still looked fabulous.  He said the key is to just gain the appropriate 20 pounds and my surgery will still hold, so that was very comforting.  I am BEYOND excited about this next chapter in my life. I still hope to lose another 20 pounds prior to June 28, and I really do not know what is going on but I have had 2 very DIFFICULT weeks. I can only say that today is a new day and I am going back to the basics, ONCE AGAIN, and will hopefully get this surplus OFF very soon! Thanks for reading!
