Tomorrow is my surgery. I am having a bilateral reduction mammoplasty (breast reduction). I know that I will be extremely sore after. I will not be able to exercise like I have been for the past two weeks. About a week after surgery I can get back to walking. However, it will have to be at an easy and slow pace. So I will not be posting updates on my weight loss for a few weeks. But I promise to be back and to continue my journey. 

Weight Loss Jars

I found this idea and thought it was great, so I made one. On the right side is the jar with the amount of beads (lbs) that I want to lose. On the left side is the jar with the amount of beads (lbs) I have actually lost. So every week when I weigh in I will add beads to the weight loss jar. Hoping I don't ever have to remove beads from that jar and put it back in the jar to lose. That would be terrible. LOL
