16 Days-to-Go

Hi Everyone! Well, as you can tell from the post title...I have 16 days to go and counting! I really can't believe that my surgery is going to happen so fast! I feel like I've worked really hard for this, and really can't wait for it! Of course, mixed in with all the excitement is apprehension too! When such a major life change is planned for and thought out...it gives a body LOTS of time to wonder whether this is the right thing. No, I'm not second guessing myself, just trying to pre-process what my life could be like, and how much it will change, and even how it wont change. I don't want my expectations in terms of future relationships, experiences, plans, and even health to be to ambitious-so to speak...I am really trying to keep a level head. I do hope that I have a significant other in my future, but in what form that will be...I don't know. Maybe I'll get married, maybe I'll adopt a child without a husband...who knows.
All that said, I still can't wait. I have my pre-surgery appointment on Dec. 5th, and should know even more to blog about the next day!
This past Thanksgiving has been so wonderful...but eating-wise...as with EVERYBODY...a trial. I stood on the scale this morning, and knew I hadn't gone overboard with my eating habits over the holiday, but I still have some weight to loose before Friday's appointment. Okay, so I purposefully DIDN'T weigh myself this past week, and had only gained 2-4lbs, depending on which weight I choose to go with...I ALWAYS weigh myself more than once, and usually take and average of them, because each time seems to be a bit different.
Anyway, I will let you know how I do this week, hopefully daily...to keep me honest. Here is something I haven't done for a while...

Yup, I did get all my water, and no snacking/cheating today!
