I finally had a new link put up to breakup the TT journey. This half of the journey will be to explore 6 months & more. It will be about not so much recovery anymore but about adjusting to the new body & learning how to make improvements to the tummy I could never improve upon before. I'm excited again. I went thru my slump after vacation & I've finally bounced back after 2.5 month of continuing to try & try & try again, lol! It happens, I'm just glad it's over & behind me. I've got my motivation back, & when I see bad food I view it as....that's gonna ruin my figure versus mmmm, yummy! Nothing & I mean nothing tastes as good as thin feels. I'm not 100% yet, I now have 8lbs to lose. But, I'm feeling good again & I love being able to wear things because I want to, not because I have to in order to hide a body part or cover up. So with that said I'm posting a few pics before my hubby & I head out of the house. He's taking me to look at a car. Ok, sure the outfit I have on is great for hiding the tummy, but if I hadn't of gotten my arms a little more toned again, I wouldn't have worn it. And it's 82° today.....hello!

Looks like you are doing well & I am so glad you are happy. I hope to have so great changes to post in the future. I've always wanted a foundation to work with & now I do. The PS gave me what I needed & the rest is up to me. Hopefully, by summer I'll have some real improvements....stay tuned :)

Well it's been a week since my last update. I've worked out 14 out of 16 days so far. So I'm doing really well with the workouts. I had lost some weight & was doing well, then all of a sudden the 5 lbs I took off slowly creeped back on. I don't get it. It really pisses me off. I don't really see it on myself & it's not swelling. I don't feel like I'm swelling at all. It's just one of those Weightloss Jedi mind tricks. Ugh! It sucks. I know I have to keep pushing, cuz there is no other alternative. I posted a pic, it doesn't really reflect how I feel. When I look at myself from the front I think it looks pretty good. It's the side profile that gets me. I can tell I'm wider & I have looked better. I'm still just not as lean or cut as I'd like to be or once was. I had bought a cute new workout outfit for the gym, & I thought I looked pretty good. When I got to the gym I saw myself in the mirror. My top was fitted, but my shorts to my surprise were just too damn big. And that just doesn't look good, like at all. So I needed to exchange my new gym clothes for small's. That felt pretty good. Ok, like I said no swelling & I've been doing ab work with no problems. Maybe you can tell in the pic? Alrighty then, TTYL.

Just wanted to say thanks for documenting your journey. It's so interesting and great info for someone in the planning stages like me. Loving the fact that you took so much time to post a ton of pictures! You look fabulous by the way, good for you!

Hake lots & lots of pics. I wish I would have taken more before pics to compare. It makes a huge difference especially when u think nothing has changed.

Keep posting, you look great! I have been strict on my diet and exercise for almost 3 weeks, only have lost 1.5 pounds, so frustrated.
May 1, 2013
Man, you ain't kidding! I might as well just bang my head against the wall. I don't know what's up.
May 1, 2013
Way to go on the workouts!! That is awesome! I'm same as you -- working out a ton, scale not budging. I'm very frustrated!! Also, got some weird swelling above belly button? Maybe I'm doing too much? Has that ever happened to you? And, I can totally see some definition on your abs! Looking good :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one going thru this. It's like working everyday & not getting a paycheck, who the hell wants to do that? I haven't had any swelling just above the BB. I feel like my middle abs from BB to breast protrudes. It's not swollen, it doesn't cave in. Idk, if that's normal. It's like my center ab a muscle is always standing at attention, weird. Today has been so well, my oldest is sick w/ fever & it was Field day today. My little one has the sniffles, & I have a sore throat & felt pretty damn crappy this morning. So no workout for me today...not that it would have made a difference, haha! Ok, I'll stop being negative.

Sorry for all the sickies at your house!! Hope all feel better soon :). Can't wait to have just one single day when I don't think abt my surgery! Ugg! I tried some planks today, I don't think that helped.
May 2, 2013
Oh, you will. I don't really think about my surgery. I just think about getting back into better shape and why it's being so damn difficult.
