| Yes, It's mike!
Yuppers! It's me. I can hardly believe it seeing the pics side by side now. WOOF! I can't believe that it has been 1 year since my surgery. The time has just flown by. This past year, I have learned many many things about my new way of life, what to do, and what shouldn't be done to achieve weightloss. Losing all I wanted to lose, and more, was just a dream in the beginning to be honest. Now, that I have done it, I believe it to be, as many say when you are in the maintenance phase, the hardest phase of all. You feel great, and many times you think to yourself, oh, that is not going to hurt this once. The thing is, and it has happened to me, sometimes that once turns into again, and sometimes again. Be careful kiddos. I am lucky so far with not gaining, but just always be on your gaurd with old eating habits creeping back into your life. Dealing with everyday turmoils can sometimes be a challenge for me as well. My lowest weight ever was 140#, and as the pic. says, I am now 144#. I admit, I was a bit to scrawny in the arm area, and decided to start lifting weights 10 minutes everyday. That did it for me, and yes, a few pounds of muscle tone did come on. I really don't mind though, since to me, I look a bit more healthy. It was scary though, for me to see the scale going the other way. I think everyone fears that though. Being one year out, I only find a few foods that bother me.....yogurt, and anything, and I mean anything, with flour in it. I don't feel well at all after eating these two things. I guess that is the scary part for me. Nothing as a whole bothers me. I just live the day though, and at the end of the day, when I did well, I smile and move on to the next day in hopes I can do as well. I can't say that I have never eaten anything naughty, but as a whole, I am doing very well. I would do the surgery all over again, knowing the changes a person makes with diet, and exercise. Yes, I fall from exercise to once in a while. I do consider myself to be very active these days, just not putting as much into exercise, and I know I should be. I could go on here forever, but I won't. I just wanted to share my one year photos with all of you great people. 
A very special thanks to my dear friend Deb, for posting the pics. I can't thank her enough. She, once again, did an awesome job.  mike

Thank you my dear friend. As I have told you, seeing my pics now side by side, and talking a bit with you, has given me the strength to keep pluggin along with everything that comes my way these days.....good and bad. I will give you an update, past 3 days of course, Kat. Until then, take care and keep plugging along as I am going to do.  mike
p.s. I have to share. lol The other day I took my daughter to the clinic for a shot, and the receptionist told me that without a parent's consent form, Lindsey could not have the shot done, since a parent was not present. She was actually looking at me, when she said it. Yah, I must have been the big brother.  I looked at her and said, in a gruff kind of voice, " I am the father." She started to laugh, and told me that she was sorry. I just looked to young to be a dad of a gal that age. That was a booster for me, truly. lol I will take all of those I can for the record. lol lol lol It makes it all worth it though.
