My first 50 pounds gone!

3 more pounds gone this week. I'm @ 239.4 down from 291 since Feb. 21st 2007. I seem to be melting... and enjoying it!

I have found that I seem to be pretty open about telling people about having WLS. In the beginning I was un sure what to tell people or what I wanted to tell them about my decision. But when people ask what I am doing to lose weight I have been open to share, which surprises me sometimes. I thought I be more shy and would not want to share. But I think it's wonderful and I want to share and teach people that ask. That's just something that has been on my mind this week and feeling surprised about.

Went to the pool yesterday. It was so so so much fun. I really enjoyed myself. There were all different sizes of people, gray hair, old people, young people. About 30 people there at the water exercise class. I can't wait to go back! I hope my schedule next week allows me to show on Monday as well as next Thursday and Friday. Sometimes on Monday I don't have to go in till noon, which would allow me to go before work. I can feel the muscles we worked in my side, arms and shoulders today. My hip must of popped 5 times in the pool while jogging and moving in the water. This just might be a great thing for my body and hips. Yesterday my hips felt better then they have in a long time. It was a good workout and I enjoyed it very much. I'm excited for the next class, which feels great! I will pick up my work schedule today for next week. Thanks for the pool hint Barb, as the pool never really crossed my mind for a great workout and a great place to start to get me moving. The Dr. told me the more I move my hips and such the better they will feel. The pool is perfect because of the low impact to my body right now.

39 more pounds and I'll be under 200 for the first time since I past it up years ago. Not even sure when that was... A long time ago..........
