Tomorrow will be my 3rd of 6 nutritionist appointments! My last one will be in early May. I am hoping that come my 4th appointment they will "pencil in" my surgery date so I can start the countdown!
If I have my surgery in earlyish June, I hope to be 60 pounds down by the end of the year...or approx. 180 lbs. That's probably a size 12, right? I mean....at 205 I was squeezing into a size of 12 jeans I have in my closet. Surely an additional 25 lbs. would get me in them comfortably. Oh, to dream...
Speaking of clothing, I found a brand new sized 14 business suit in my closet today that still has the tags on it. My mom got it for me one Christmas years ago because I was losing weight and that was my next size down. I never have gotten into it. Maybe this fall I will.
Went to Kohl's yesterday to look for something to wear to a wedding but found absolutely no dresses that would cover my legs. So I ended up getting a size large cardigan to wear over a dress I already own. Should've gotten an extra large because I had to push my arms in it and stretch it out.
I did see a few cute things at Kohl's that I was tempted to buy to put in my "future closet" but I am refraining for now. Mainly because I really don't know what size I'll be when I get to my goal weight. And I don't want to spend the money.
Rich and I are planning to book our trip to Ireland soon. We're going at the end of September to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. If my surgery is in June, by the end of September I'll be about 3 months post-op, so I should be eating regular foods, just not much of anything. Dublin sight seeing is going to require LOTS of walking, so I am looking forward to having built in exercise during my vacation! Rich keeps bringing up food and how I won't be eating much but I don't think it is a big deal. I may be able to have a taste of things here and there but I won't be able to have a pint of Guinness (or any alcohol for that matter). Food doesn't make a vacation, right?
