Happy to report that I am already back down to my pre vacation weight of 117!! So that little gain did not last when I went back to my regular eating.
So everything is going well. I am really, really starting to prefer to wear skirts now. Even at work. Today I wore a skirt and wedges and felt amazing. I used to only wear jeans to work for comfort but now I feel comfortable in just about anything. I kinda felt like Pretty Woman in my outfit...minus the prostitute part. LOL.
I keep reading about the benefits of collagen powder. I hear it is supposed to help with the saggy skin post weight loss. So last night I took the plunge and ordered some off Amazon. (I am a freaking Amazon Prime addict.) It gets here on Thursday so Friday I will add it to my regimen and see if it really makes a difference or not. I have already seen much improvement with making sure I am using lotion all over my body 2X per day. I can tell a difference. If I can get just some additional improvement from the collagen I think I will be just fine with no need for skin removal. I am still thinking about a possible breast implant but not sure.
On the breast note, I ordered some non under wire bras. Now that my boobs are smaller I think I can get away with them. When I was home I visited with a dear friend from HS who has breast cancer and has been going through treatment for the past year. She was talking about how the doctors told her that the underwires in bras cause cancer. (My mom {who passed away from breast cancer that had spread} was told the same thing.) With my family history of breast cancer and seeing what my friend was going through I decided it was for the best for me to order them. I also ordered them for my daughter. No point in taking chances. Although at my previous breast size there is no way I could have gotten away with no underwires. I had some seriously heavy boobs. Now...they're kinda sad little things but I am kinda ok with that. LOL. Small (pun intended) price to pay for bringing all this sexy back!
Going back to work after vacation was less traumatic than I anticipated. LOL. I got back to the grind with no issues. I was actually happy to see all my work friends, show off my vacation pictures, and just catch up. Had coffee with my favorite work buddy who now works in another department. We still try to meet up at least once a week to stay in touch. I caught him just in time before he takes his family to Florida on a vacation for a week and a half.
Hope you are all having a fabulous week in sleeve world. Big old hugs!!
