It's Maria's birthday! Let's celebrate by making a post :)

First of all, happiest of all birthday wishes go out to my sleeve twin Maria!

Yaaaay! Maria!!

Secondly, I have not been blogging but I have been doing well. I've now lost 42 pounds. I'm really trying to get under 199 for my 3 month follow up so I need to lose 4.1 pounds to be at 199.9 ;)

Today I decided I'm starting to get a little too lax with my exercise so I signed up for a triathlon that will be on August 3rd. I've been slacking for all of June, just working out 1 or 2 times a week so this will definitely be the motivator to get me back on track with my exercise. The other motivator I got was a gift from my sister- a NIKE Fuel band! I just got it all set up and I'm looking forward to seeing how it helps me keep moving each day. I've heard from others that it really helps them stay on track. I'm hoping!

Anyway, here are the stats now:

Start weight 246 (March 18)
Surgery weight 236 (April 1)
Today's weight 204 (June 23)
total lost: 42 pounds (98 days including pre-op)
