    Not intended to offend - just curious.
    Yeah, certainly my friends who are on properties have guns for knocking off rabbits and kangaroos that become a problem - but they are not pistols. I thought pistols were for killing stuff at closer range? Like I said just curious about the culture that we don't really have so evident here.
    Target shooting is popular here in the city and a I have a friend who is scary good at it.

    You, too, as far as success although it looks like you're doing really well from here. From your profile pic you could model as a California girl!

8 mos. post-op - 84lbs gone...

by ready2smile on 09-18-2012 at 09:07 AM
I am super excited about this blog update!! Not only am I employed again after about a 9 week layoff - but I have also joined a gym and have actually been going and woring out 3 times a week for the past 6 weeks!!!!

I had mentioned in my last blog entry that I had been laid off from work just after the return from my honeymoon in June... and instead of jumping into a good routine at the local gym I sat around, got off of my routine of healthy eating and using my treadmill regularly

6 mos. post-op - 80lbs gone...

by ready2smile on 07-31-2012 at 03:35 PM
I have been gone for a while.
I used to update my blog weekly - there was so much change happening and new things to get used to.
It helped me to record the experience it; kept me accountable to something! I highly recommend keeping journal of your journey!!
I also wanted to so remember what it was like so I could help some one else just starting out, I think as the months pass and we get used to our lives we may forget what it was like as we were going through it, so I

Oh and I managed to drop

140 Days post-op - Week 20... 7lbs GONE this week - CRAZY?

by ready2smile on 06-06-2012 at 10:52 AM
The end of WEEK 20 - Not much was changed this week EXCEPT for the SEVEN POUNDS I lost - I don't know what to attribute the BIG drop to?? Maybe getting off the steroids last week and not being able to exercise shocked my body?? Because I am eating the same...

My Current Routine
Mornings: Boiled egg, 1 veggie sausage, couple of bites of cantalope
Morning: Snack: a veggie sausage, cantalope, watermelon, pineapple... a few bites of each
Lunch: Chicken or fish,

133 Days post-op - Week 19... 2lb down, still recovering from poison ivy :-(

by ready2smile on 05-30-2012 at 10:47 AM
NOt much to report - No exercise because of the poison ivy - getting heated and sweating make its worse :-(

My wedding is 10 days away... I did lose 2lbs this week I was glad the steriods didn't make me gain or hold steady.

I am ready to start exercising again!!! But I really want to get rid of this crap rash before my weddingd day most of all.

I hope everyone is hanging in there! Hopefully I will have a better weekly report next week...
