Before and After Pics-FINALLY!!!

I have finally decided to put up before and after pictures. I always knew at some point I would post them, what I did not count on was how hard it would be to go back and look at some of these pics. I know I have lost 60lbs so far, and my clothes are smaller, but I could not see that much difference. Until I pulled these pictures. So for anyone reading that may be curious, here is what 60lbs gone looks like so far...

Sandals, Montego Bay Jamaica for me and hubbys first anniversary...amazing, I didnt think I looked that bad in this pic until about 10 minutes ago.




Out with friends this past winter at the Venetian Moon



Me doing my usual, enjoying a glass of wine :)



OK, so that's what I used to look like, now here is a couple of my most recent pictures...
ps-pay no attention to the very "gastric bypass unfriendly" activity LOL-explanation after pics!



We went to MGM Foxwoods for my birthday, and Duff from Ace of Cakes made my birthday cake! Well not really, BUT, he was there as part of MGM Foxwoods Second Anniversary Bash and did the cake for them. Here, see for yourself!...


And yes, we got his autograph ;)




I will post more pics as I get them!

BAD BLOGGER!

Ok, so I have been a bad blogger! Have not blogged in about a month or so, but so much as been going on, all good though :) First of all, I got a job-YAY! After being unemployed since December 2008, I have finally rejoined the work force. I am doing syndication for a real estate investment trust company and it is going very well. It is full time, and they let me work part time until I finished my spring semester classes, which I finished a couple weeks ago. B's for the semester! Going forward I will take my classes at night and online. Second, I am down 60lbs! I can't believe it. My new work clothes are all too big for me, so *sigh*, must go shopping again lol...will post pics in another post. I feel great, and can pretty much tolerate any food, as long as its not too dry or doughy (like a thicker crust pizza). I am looking forward to the summer, being outside, and DOING things outside. It was a beautiful weekend, and spent the night out on the waterfront, by the Aquarium and Boston Harbor Hotel. I love that part of Boston, probably my favorite area. We didnt really go anywhere, just hung out and had some drinks, but one of my favorite things to do was to start at the Boston Harbor Hotel and have drinks on the patio, and then walk along the waterfront, past the Aquarium and Long Wharf Marriott, and walk to the North End. As much as I love it, for a while I dreaded being out doing that walk, now I can't wait to go again! Today I think I am going to go pick up a couple of tennis raquets so hubby and I can play! Have a good weekend!
