One more day until the Open House…we still have plenty to do, but it occurred to me this morning that I am so much better off than I was last year. I am breathing great – not huffing and puffing for air. I’m a little tired, but nowhere near as exhausted as I was the day before the Open House last year. I’ve lost just under 130 pounds since this time last year. According to my list – that is equivalent to a newborn giraffe! Can you imagine the energy it would require to pick up a newborn giraffe – let alone carry it around ALL THE TIME? This is an exciting time.
Yesterday, my Mom and I were doing some figuring. If I continue to lose at my current average – by the time my one-year anniversary (for the surgery) gets here, I will have lost a TOTAL of 200 pounds (140 since surgery.) HOW COOL IS THAT! It is so rewarding when I can see and measure progress.
This is my favorite time of the year – by far! I love the music, the lights, and the times to fellowship with friends and family! I love the special programs, the weather (even if I AM freezing), and the special treats. But most of all – I love the REASON for the SEASON. I am so blessed.
