Weighed in this morning

Jumped on the scales this morning and I was 64.5kgs which is still 500grams under my goal weight which I'm very pleased about.
I have been getting on a couple of times a week just to keep myself in check and I am amazed that my weight is pretty stable now. I have been hovering between 64.5kgs and 65.5kgs which is AWESOME.

I have also made my 1 yearly post op appointment with my surgeron David Schroeder on the 16th June (Thurs), so I have taken Thurs and Fri off work and will pop down to Wellington and stay the weekend as well, which will give me over 3 days to catch up with everyone. I am planning to catch up with my old mates at work as well as my mate Jo (and latest addition Jaynie) on the Friday and then family (and a bit of shopping) on the weekend before I head back Sunday afternoon.......nice!

Kids have finished all but 1 of their sports and the next session stuff doesn't now start until after the school holidays....yay.
Mum is moving into her new house tomorrow so Andrew and I will be 'all hands on deck' to help out. I then have my 21 year old nephew and his girlfriend arriving from Australia (I haven't seen him in about 10 years) on Friday for a few days and of course school holidays start on Friday as well.

That's it from me, I'll try and get my butt on here more often as I'm getting a bit slack without having to 'update' my weight on a weekly basis.

One last thing - extra skin.
I have noticed in the last week or so how much excess skin I have and it is getting more and more noticable. My tummy and legs are really bad but I can hide that with excellent spandx/support underwear (my best friend since the operation) but my arms and neck look yucky, my arms especially. They are looking more and more wrinkly and it isn't attractive. I have been over the moon lately that I am now not embarrased to wear sleeveless tops/dresses etc but the further along I go, the more I feel like I need to cover up again..........*sigh* never happy eh???? hahahaha.
