hi :)

so i am now 89 lbs down! that brings my average close to losing a pound a day! it's been really good so far, since surgery. my back pain is much better since i have been getting massages. the doctor's say that the weight loss changes everything and can cause muscle and general pain in some areas! who knew?? i am eating pretty much everything now, but i stay away from anything with sugar in it. only fake sugar for me (splenda, etc). also no alcohol and caffeine for 3 more months. they tell you to stay off of both for at least 6 months post op.

work is going well, and i have big news!!! i have enrolled to take classes at northeastern univ. i am going to attempt to take public health and nutrition. they are sort of an intro to NEU's health science program. health science is for anyone wanting to go into the health field. (nurses, pre-med, etc.) i am really excited!!

peace for now :)

howdy

these are some new pics. i just took them sunday...

i have been told by a few people that i need to make my blogs more frequent and longer. sorry for that folks. i have been busy getting back into the swing of things and having lost close to 90 lbs has changed life quite a lot. my back has been really bad lately, and more recently has gotten better. i got a few massages (hallelujah!), and i think that i am going to keep up with that because it's working so well. the doctor's say because everything is moving around and such, that the back pain is expected. (center of gravity changing, muscles and tissue moving around) my sciatica is also painful. on top of all that, my butt's feeling is coming back and that is causing pain. during surgery and after it's very common for your ass to go numb!! mine has taken months to go away (doc says it's ok) however, it's a literal pain in the ass! i feel old with these back problems...like i said above though, it is so much better so i am glad and grateful for that!

i go and see the surgeon next week for my 3 month (+) post op appt. i will fill you in on the weight around then :)

till then...
