I'm totally OVER it!

Well, I hit two new milestones, and I pray to never return in that direction!  It's been almost 31 weeks since I started the pre-op diet, and I have now lost 75% of my excess weight and (drum roll, please) tadadadadadadadadadadada - bing!  I AM NO LONGER "OBESE"!!!  I am now officially in the category of "overweight."  I only have just over 30 more pounds till I am at the high end of the "normal" range. 

I have been exhausted lately, but I do need to go get my bloodwork done.  I also need to work out more, mainly for me to de-stress.  I've been having some stomach problems now and then.  Again, I am wondering if it is the stress more than anything. 

We had a great time yesterday driving up to Clarkston, to have the famous macaroni and cheese at the Clarkston Union.  It is truly fantastic.  And while I had only about 10 penne noodles and some ham, it was exactly what I wanted and it was PERFECT.  We had some expiring Blizzard coupons, so we all got one closer to home, I ate some later and there's still at least half left.  PLUS, we had some real air-popped popcorn with REAL butter.  Again, I didn't eat a lot of it, but what I had was so perfect.  I love that foods do not have to be FORBIDDEN (except a couple things that give me problems, but I do not miss them).  We watched some movies together and I got some tests checked.  So it was a fun AND productive day.

Church today, and we are finally putting away the last of our Christmas stuff.
