I haven't wanted to put down my weight goals - until I get closer to surgery date. I have been thinking about NSV 's I want to achieve and how awesome they will feel when I get there. No particular order --- except for number 1.
1. Sleep without a CPAP machine - or my snuffalupagus mask as one of my BFF's kindly calls it!!
2. Wear jeans without an elastic waste band - except maybe jeggings - I'd love to pull those off.
3. Wear high heels.
4. Size 18's.
5. Size 12's.
6. Weigh less than my hubby.
7. Walk up a flight off steps without getting winded.
8. Walk a 5K.
9. Run a mile.
10. Run a 5K.
11. Enjoy bath time --- (explanation - this is the time my husband and I use to re-group on Friday nights when we are super busy and don't have time for date night --- and get your mind out of the gutter it's not all about doing the nasty. It's not that I don't enjoy it now, but I'd like to get rid of the insecurities that go through my head). Hope that's not TMI!!
12. Wear a bathing suit that isn't a swimdress.
13. Get on a roller coaster without the fear of not fitting -- yes this happened to me one -- I had to move to a plus size seat at Busch Gardens Williamsburg --- totally mortifying.
14. Not have to quietly ask for a seat belt extender when I fly.
15. Shop at Victoria's Secret.
16. Walk without my thighs rubbing together.
17. Have someone not recognize me.
18. Dance like a rock star!!
Well, that's all I can think of for now. I hate that it's not an even number, but I'm sure I will have even more than these!
Thanks to all my fabulous followers - your words of support are super. My hubby is still amazed that I'm blogging and that I actually have followers, but then again it took him over a year to adopt the facebook craze and now he is addicted. Maybe he'll start a blog next.
I have to admit that I am looking for a swimdress in size 8-10 for this summer. I still have "butt legs." I swear the area between my legs look like a butt. I have to cover it up. I hope you have better luck with skin issues!
ReplyDeleteGreat goals!! Sometimes in life, it's not always about "the number", but what "the number" signifies!!
ReplyDeleteYou're going to do great!
I absolutely love every single one of these goals on your list! And....they are all totally do-able too. You can do this! I believe in you! Refer back to this list often to remind yourself what you are working towards!

Congrats on your date! I am newly banded as well (Nov 2010) so I know where you're coming from. Wishing you the best journey and glad I can follow you on it!

I am right there with you on most - especially #1. I am addicted to my CPAP but at the same time I can't stand that I need it. I do get a good night sleep but hate having to take it with me everywhere - it takes up half my suitcase on business trips.
