I celebrated my technical surgiversary, which was at 7 AM, with a Leslie Sansone walk DVD and the intermediate Pilates DVD.

After work, I went to the local support group meeting where a plastic surgeon was speaking. That would have been cool, except that he oddly spent most of his lecture talking about plastic surgery generally instead of focusing specifically on post weight-loss surgery body contouring. Me, being the impatient person I am, actually interrupted him at one point to ask if he had any slides on plastics after weight loss. I was tired of looking at disgusting trauma photos that had nothing to do with us. Time is money!

I'll be writing a more reflective rebirthday post this weekend, hopefully after doing something with more sentimental value to celebrate.

Oh, and FYI - I didn't quite reach my goal to be in the 170s. I ate too much this past weekend. I was actually in the high 170s on Thursday and Friday of last week, but now I'm back in the low 180s. Hoping to get back to the 170s soon!
