I love new beginnings! 2018 wasn't a bad year . . . a lot happened . . . so I have a lot to talk about leading into the new year . . . first and foremost - I completed the very long and exhausting process leading up to my weight loss surgery on May 4th! Today is December 31st (7 months post op), and I'm 111 pounds down! Only 55 away from goal and 16 away from Onderland! (I should mention - I am 111 pounds down from my highest recorded weight on December 26th 2017 - not since surgery date. I had lost about 30 pounds prior to surgery).
I received my acceptance letter 11/14/2016 and had my surgery 5/4/18 - quite a process indeed but so worth it! I have no regrets, and I firmly believe having the surgery was the best decision I've ever made! I'm confident I will reach my weight loss goal very soon - I'm already well over half way there!
We also began the process of building our house in 2018. We've broke ground and are currently awaiting the foundation pour, which is scheduled to happen this month (January). If all goes as planned, we will be in our new home early summer. We are building on 5 acres in a tiny little town south of Seattle, Washington and north of Portland, Oregon. It's perfect for us, and I am so excited to watch the house go up - like literally "watch" it go up since we are staying in my parent's 5th wheel on their property just across the way - it's perfect! I'll be sharing lots of progress pics along the way!
I began this post in the evening of December 31st - finished and published early morning January 1st. I was in bed by 7:30 last night - yes - I am just that boring!
Here's to a new day and a new year . . . join me as I journal 2019 : )
