PICTURE UPDATE!: A year and one month post-surgery

Recently nursing school has kept me away from anything fun. :/

But don't worry, it's only a year!

I'm not sure if I'm trying to reassure you or me..  Either way, it will be okay :)

In the meantime... October 17th was my one year Band-iversary and I am 90 pounds down from where I started.  YAY!  That number on the scale isn't moving a whole lot, but my sizes are!  I am now fitting into Mediums on top and Larges on bottom.  When I started this journey a year ago I was wearing 3XLs.

I am slowly coming to terms with the concept that muscle weighs more than fat and that even though the number on the scale hasn't moved a whole lot, that there is still a difference in my body re-shaping.

And now for an updated pic......





 While I don't see a huge difference between this pic and my last pic in the face forward shot, I DO notice a huge difference in the side view.  Check out my HLA (Hot Latina Ass)!!

THANK YOU SQUATS!! :)

So I cheated a little and had this pic taken before the holidays began....  But don't worry, tomorrow I go back to basics and cut out a lot of "extra" crap I've been eating..  At least I'm going to try my best to.  Even before the holiday I have been struggling with stress eating related to nursing school manifested by the junk food I am eating..  (a little nursing humor)

Even though I am far from perfect with my eating and exercise habits, I can honestly look back a year ago and say that I am in a much better place with it all.

Until next time..
