New Tattoos

Today Sandra and I went to get tattoos and boy was it painful!! It's so worth it though I love them. I got two Chinese characters...Dream and Love. Sandra got two lilies. I think we both want to go back in August and get more...I will finally get my fairy and she will be getting some butterflies.

Update on Charlie

I haven't written about Charlie in a very long time so I think its time to share some more pictures and get his recent adventure out on the net lol. Well Charlie is now 11 months, he will be a one year old on July 10th....and yes he will be having a birthday party!!!! Here are a couple new pics of him...doing what he does best NOTHING AT ALL.

4 Months Post-Op

Well everything is still going really well...
I've now lost 70 pounds in total.
Lately my iron has really dropped by I've started to take pills so it should all get better. I'm going to start to incorporate more healthy foods into my diet such as lentils, beans, chick peas, etc. I know its going to be hard but I want to slowly work my way to becoming Vegitarian and once I've mastered that I'm going to work on becoming a Vegan...all by the end of the year.
Anyways here is a picture taken during a Mother's Day celebration this year. In the picture with me is my best friend Sandra...who is always there for me and listens to all my stories the good and bad ones lol

UPDATE (June 20th): I stepped on the scale this morning and I've now lost 76 pounds....I'm going to aim for 4 more pounds by the end of the month so I can call it even at 80...longer term goal is 100 pounds lost by mid September.
