On It!

Mark your calendars...today - Sunday, March, 13 2011 - JR is officially on the scale! He still has 40 pounds to lose before his birthday which is officially 2 months from now. I am so proud of him. I wish there was a way to say how much he has lost for sure, but a best guess would be 30 pounds. This really couldn't have come at a better time. We are on day 28 of our diet, and we were just talking last night about how neither of us feels as if we have seen results with this second cycle. The first cycle (first 17 days) JR dropped weight so fast...I even dropped 5 pounds pretty quickly. But the second cycle (we are 10 days in) it doesn't seem as though the results have been as fast. I am officially down 8 pounds, weighing in at 132 which means I am 7 pounds from my goal, but I still have a long ways before I look the way I want. To be honest after all this healthy eating and exercising everyday, I am starting to believe that the only way for me to look the way I want is by going under the scalpel. Anyway, it came at a great time for JR, because last night it was obvious he was getting a little discouraged, and today its as if his fire has been lit again!
Back to the scalpel talk - I have been pretty firm in the decision that I want a tummy tuck. JR always tells me that if I get that done, I will find something else I want fixed. I have never believed that...EVER - until now. While my body is full of imperfections, I have always had nice breasts. Well, I have always been happy with them...unfortunately over the last few years...AKA post babies....by boobs have gotten smaller and gravity seems to hate me. I seriously think that all 8 pounds that I have lost have come straight from my boobs. I need to go get new bras sometime this week and I can throw away all my double D's and my D's and most likely my C's ...I will be lucky and surprised if I can fit into a B to be quite honest. So, while I am going to keep my promise to not investigate or look into any kind of elective surgery until Valentine's day 2012 (my promise was to give it ONE year of healthy diet and exercise), if it turns out that I do not have flat abs - I will most likely also be looking into getting my boobs done. It's not the size that bothers me. I am perfectly content with size B boobs...but these puppies have to go back to being boobs instead of these two things that are trying to make an aquaintance with my belly button!
BTW - JR is still fishing for compliments...so if by chance you see him any time soon (ahem...Nikki, Travis, Dana...etc.) Please tell him he looks like he's lost weight...even if you dont notice - he has lost about 30 pounds, and he REALLY wants others to notice..and I want him to stay motivated, so help us out! I know its hard...you see a big person, a couple of months later they are still big - its kind of hard to tell, but trust me, he's lost weight!!!
