Accountability 101

I have been quite slack with my blog posts lately as with my weight loss, you know how it goes, life has been busy and I just cant be bothered. However I have been following a friend of mine on her blog and it has inspired me to review my goals of weight loss and fine tune it into smaller goals, some even really petty goals but I think this will work well in giving me a sense of achievement. They are as follows, the reason for me including the time goals are because I have yet to properly stick to a diet for 7 days in my life, sad face so here goes. Here are my current stats on my fatness.

Booty Stats
Bust:               107 cm
Waist:              94 cm  
Hips:               124 cm
Arms:              39 cm
Thigh:              75 cm
BMI:               36.4cm

Time to Get Back on The Horse

Well ladies,

I am now seven weeks post breast reduction surgery and am a very happy lady. My nipples are so perky and I can look at bras in a way that I haven't been able to in such a long time. I went shopping and bought some sexy playboy ones which I haven't owned in my life, and one of those sexy corsets I have never fit into those. I really like the way my boobs don't hang so now you can see my waste.

Although eating wise I have been very slack so the other day I went and bought a book about the Dukan Diet. Its quite interesting and promises to be the miracle so we will see. When I have read enough to know what to go shopping for I am going to start so should be in the next few days. And last week I was officially given the ok to start exercising so am looking forward to feeling strong and free of pain (I hope).

Wish me luck

Little tender these days

Well ladies, it's been a week since my surgery. I am very very happy with my little boobies. I am surprised though at how little dressings and pain killers I am needing.

I went in for the surgery early in the morning, don't you hate the waiting period before you go into the theatre looking at food magazines while fasting, lovely. After surgery I woke up with the worst head ache and you know I was really disappointed I thought that they would be gone. So for the next few days I was nauseous and vomiting for the next few days.

Finely on the day to go home it started to pass thank god, and just before my darlings came to pick me up my drains were removed which if you don't know go either side on the edge of each boob, very gross and a little uncomfortable to remove.

Over the last week I have been quite surprised at the lack of pain I've felt. After about three days from hospital my strong pain killers ran out and I began pharmacy grade pain killers. My only problem is that I have to sleep on my back so needless to say my sleep hasn't been the best, sad face.

Had my dressings changed yesterday, I'm thinking about light treatment and medical silicon patches in a few weeks time when they heal, well food for thought.

Yours till next time

Nerves, Nerves and More Nerves

Oh my, 3 more days to go until my breast reduction surgery. Yay and Screams of fear. Today I went to the bra fitting place and picked up two surgical bras for after my operation and my recovery, and discovered they have these wicked gel pads that you can put on the scars once they have healed that is supposed to reduce the bumpy and visual appearance of the scars. Might have to go back and get some of those. 

I also went to the anesthetist today for my pre operative appointment and to pay, sad face. I have been sick for about two weeks and lets put it this way I have the worst voice and sore throat at the moment and she is not happy. I have been given some kick ass antibiotics that will hopefully get me ready in three days, cross fingers. However if I am not OK by Friday the operation will be rescheduled. I have not been this sick in so long and I am having migraines again which I cant decide if its the boobs of the bug.

Oh well I guess I will have to leave it up to fate and see what happens. I do hope it goes ahead despite my nerves as I definitely know its something that I want to do. 

So nervous though. Which is unlike me I am not normally one to shy away from a challenge or even be afraid I am normally going at 100miles an hour. Oh well maybe its age. Haa haa.

Hope your journey to your dreams is coming along nicely

Yours Until Next Time

It Figures...

Well Friday past, was my day that I was scheduled to cut out all pain killers with any sort of anti inflammatorys. It is recommended before an operation to cut it out two weeks before as some medications within anti inflammatories can thin the blood stream and cause complications. However, unfortunately for me Friday would be the day that my body is riddled with the worst Migraine in creation. I have literally been asleep for two whole days straight and wallowing in my self pity. On the upside, the anesthetist has agreed that in moderation I can keep the pain killers, Yay, little happy star jumps for me. Unfortunately the scales are no lighter today for all my troubles and the house is a disaster zone.

I also decided a few weeks ago that I would put up a sign at the local community notice board to start a free walking group, looking for other mums or women with kids, dogs or schedules that didn't fit around a gym, looking for some like minded ladies to go exercising with. I haven't had much response but I figured being part of this would give me a sense of accountability and motivation to drag my ass out of bed. Well Good News!! Today a lady called me and we start in a few days, isn't that great. I am now committed at least once a week to burn off some of this booty.

My breast reduction is twelve days away now. In a way I feel like an active exercise schedule will be a waste of time when so soon I am going to be bed ridden and recovering from surgery, but then I figure it might make my body a little fitter and able to handle the surgery. If it doesn't die of shock.  Jokes aside ladies, I hope your journey to your dreams is progressing nicely.

What little burdens and blessings have come your way and what new changes do you have in mind this week?

Yours till next time

Impending Detox from Pain Killers

Three weeks Ladies and Gents until my life changes forever, however two weeks before my operation I have to stop taking all pain killers so it doesn't affect my anesthetics during the operation. Needless to say a point in my life I am not looking forward to.

Since I have stopped seeing the specialist ie; acupuncture, massage, physio and chiro I have felt my back getting tighter and tighter. Sore in places that don't even make sense, like down my arms and the muscles at the end of your spine near your butt. I have high hopes that the Breast Reduction will eleviate that pain. My plan of attach is to have the operation, recover, work hard to build strong muscles and go back to the specialists so that they can finally repair the damage to my nerves and muscles without further pressure for large breasts.

For now, I have cut out my energy drinks, which for me is a big step. Needless to say I am very tired at the moment but one week and going strong. Yay. I have also stopped buying junk food for the house, fresh fruit and vegetables for our family. I really want to reduce the amount of stuff that shouldn't be coming into our bodies. Encourage clean eating, no preservatives and colours. However this means retraining myself to be rewarded by something other than chocolate :( and to comfort myself with something other than chocolate :(

Its a long journey but we will get there. What small changes are you going to make this week to get yourself closer to the person you want to be?

Till next time

The Clock is Ticking

Good day ladies,

Just a quick one today ladies.

Well the clock is ticking, not long now. I am so excited, every time I walk past a lingerie shop I am thinking about all the possibilities that will soon be open to me. I cant wait to go shopping. I still have a lot of pain though. I really hope that the operation fixes the problems with my back. The surgeon seems to think so but we will see.

I have paid the surgeon fee the other day, its finally organised and the clock is ticking. Starting to get nervous. I have decided I am going to make a big chicken soup tonight as a slack way of eating healthy and fitting in with my schedule until the operation. Now to get up in the morning and exercise early. I have also set up the treadmill in front of the TV so that I can fit in an evening work out as it is now winter and walking outside in the evening after work is no longer an option.

Yours until next time
