Christmas Candylane at Hershey

We've gone to Hershey Park for their Christmas-themed attractions for 3 years now. This time was even better because we only live about 20 minutes away. It makes it so much easier to continue this family tradition. We went with my sister, Robyn's family. William loved having his cousins to ride the rides with. I liked going on a few rides, myself. It was definitely good times!

It's the New Me!

Okay, I know most of you have already seen the 'new me' but I am still getting requests for pictures of just me. Since I'm always the one behind the camera, it was hard to find a decent one to show my weight loss progress. I finally got someone to take pictures of me while I posed for the camera. Here's a little time line of the last 7 months.

March (2 weeks before surgery)

April (2 weeks after surgery)

May (-30 lbs)

July (-60 lbs)

August (-75 lbs)
September (-80 lbs)November (-100 lbs!)

So to recap, I've lost 100 pounds, gone down 14 sizes, and 1 shoe size. In addition, I have gained a whole new outlook on my life and tons of confidence and energy. Good trade off, I'd say. I'm still losing weight, although not at the incredible speed like before. I have about 25 more pounds to go. I LOVE my new body and I'm so very glad I decided to go through with the surgery. I'd do it again in a second and I'd recommend it to anyone who is willing to do whatever it takes (and it takes a lot!) to lose a large amount of weight.

Halloween in Yuba City

I love Northern California in the Fall! I forgot how great the weather is out there. It was at a constant sunny, 75 degrees for 2 weeks. We went to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm, Sacramento Zoo, Funderland, Trick or Treating with my dad and of course, my mom's house for the annual Halloween Night Doughnut Party. It was a fun trip and I can't wait to go back.
