On the way to the gym this morning the LeAnn Rimes song "One Way Ticket" came on. It pretty much summed up my journey so far. 

Standing on the border, looking out onto the great unknown. I can feel my heart beating faster as I step out on my own. There's a new horizon and the promise of favorable wind
I'm heading out tonight, traveling light. I'm gonna start all over again.
And buy a one-way ticket on a west bound train
See how far I can go
I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough to let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can

Gonna climb the mountain
And look the eagle in the eye
I won't let fear clip my wings and tell me how high I can fly
How could I have ever believed
That love could be so blind
When freedom was waiting, down at the station
All I had to do was make up my mind

Well, I have walked through the fire
And crawled on my knees through the valley of the shadow of doubt
Then the truth came shining like a light on me and now I can see my way out

I'm gonna buy a one-way ticket on a west bound train
Gonna have my breakfast with some pink champagne
I'm gonna sail the ocean, I'm gonna spread my wings
I'm gonna climb that mountain, gonna do everything.

I've lost  75 lbs to date. People are really starting to notice and I feel great! I've even started jogging..

Had my 3 mo doctor appt today. I've lost 60 lbs to date. I feel really good and have a ton more energy. I joined a gym last week and started working out doing water aerobics and weight lifting. I do this 3 times a week along with walking 3.5 miles 5 times a week. Hopefully I can keep this weight loss going! Tomorrow I will have to do blood work. Hopefully, everything will be normal. I am still having frustration with the amount I can eat. I am struggling because in my mind I want to eat more than I can. Hopefully in time this will get better~

Started walking 3.5 miles this weekend. I am officially 8 weeks today and have lost 49lbs to date.

Went for my 6 week app't today. I met with the nutrionist who went over what I have been eating/supplements. Originally I was scheduled for blood work but the doctor said he would do it a 3 months. Everything looks good. I've lost 41 lbs from my highest.

Feeling good. Thank God I have had no complications to date. People are starting to notice that I am losing now. I have not weighed in this week as I dont like the scale to discourage me. I definitely feel my clothes getting looser. I threw up one time this week. I ate SBD pot roast, It was too hard to chew. I walked 2 miles 6X's this week. Overall I feel great!

I will be 5 weeks post op tomorrow. All my incisions have healed and so far no complications. My weight loss has slowed down a bit..i guess my body is just adjusting...it does worry me though. I am afraid I will be the only one this doesnt work for. It raining and cool today. I walked 2 miles today and got a little wet.
