The Weight Chart Is Back On The Fridge... Again!

Okay, so I have been letting myself eat my sorrows away for way too long!  Time to sweat of my anxiety instead of burying it under a mound of junk food.  Okay, so I can't work out quite yet, but I can control what is going into my body!  I weighed in at 201 even today, which means I have gained 6 pounds.  I am flabby and squishy and not at all happy about it.  We are going to Disney World in the beginning of August, so my goal is to lose 30, maybe even 35, pounds before we leave.  My goal is 170, possibly even 165 by August 1.  The crazy eating has to stop.  The feeling sorry for myself has to stop.  I felt so much better about everything when I was working out regularly.  I have things set up in the basement so I can work out down there.  I got a Barns and Noble gift card for my birthday, and I am going to get some new work out DVD's with it.  I am going to download a calorie counter and fitness app for my phone.  I am going to wear a bathing suit without embarrassment on our vacation!

As for my surgery, I go to the surgeon in the morning to get my stitches removed, and hopefully find out what that little bugger was!  See ya tomorrow!

Bye bye, Lump!

I had my surgery on Tuesday, and everything went well.  I have my follow up appointment on Wednesday to have the stitches removed and find out what the blasted thing was!  The doctor told Eric he thought it was probably benign vein tumor.  I have no idea what that means!  I tried to look it up, but the only info I could find was related to kidney and liver.  Mine was in my ankle.  I guess we will have to wait and see, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that it was a benign tumor, and that there is nothing else to worry about!
