Hi frannz!
Well here we are, mid July and summer is in full swing.
Texas heat.
No school.
Our summer vacation has come and gone and now we
are just hanging out till School starts in August.
We recently had a funeral for our dear cousin, Philip and that has been a wild whirlwind of emotions.
Vacation sent me on a stray from my diet for a week or so.
And some other stressing factors were building up on me, but thankfully addressed this last weekend.
Needless to say, I've felt like I've been on a plateau since June and I've been frustrated.
At the end of school I was 175.
I've hovered here for a bit.
Then I went up during vacation to 179-180 but it's back down now!
This morning I weighed in at
174.2

My measurements are back down once again, too :)

So... for the big scoop.
So... for the big scoop.
I had an ultrasound on my lower abdominals a couple of weeks ago and found out that I'm having a scar tissue-issue. Looking at things it seems fixing this will post-pone my bikini competition in November -- which I'm bummed about but I need to get this looked at and fixed.
Eric and I are also, in 3 weeks,
saying good bye to ever getting pregnant again as I'm tying the tubes finally.
Kind nervous and the finality of it all is kinda sad, but at the same time:
3 kids is a lot!
I never thought I'd have 3, let alone 1 when I was in school.
I would have laughed in your face actually.
All are so healthy and happy and we are wanting to travel with them
and do everything we can for them.
Adding another would make it tighter and push all of those dreams to
do all these fun things sooner.... way off again..
But that's not all.
*wiggle wiggle wiggle*
I just got the two thumbs up and approval for a
Tummy Tuck!
(don't want to mess that up down the road either!)
SO.
Answering a few questions on that real fast:
1. Yes it got approved partially with insurance because of scar stuff. I had issues during Jensen's delivery and they are taking a ton of that junk out.
2. Yes I am paying a small part on my own but over time, thankfully.
3. I'm told to drop another 10 lbs before this -- it is set in stone for Sept 17th.
4. I'm currently, recently in a 10 but this is over that skin flap and hang so I'll be single digit we think after, YAY! I haven't been single digit since early high school!
5. I am going to document and blog all the good, bad, ugly, and crazy involving this as I did with the pregnancies and deliveries, weight loss after baby, and now this. If ya don't like it, don't visit the blog. I'm keeping the bulk off of FB and in here so it's not spamming everyones stuff.
6. My bikini competition in November IS being put off for now, I won't be ready, however... projected new competition will now be here in the Houston area July 2015 in the Woodlands. (maybe.. we'll see how it will be after recovery)
This will give me plenty of time to heal, and tone. No more sagging skin and scar issues so this will help out tremendously. No more 4 inch gap by my belly button either to make my belly poke out when I'm not being conscious of it. Flexing I should say. Sucking in makes the skin droop like crazy and it's not anything I've shared with anyone online just yet. It's a beast but I'm sharing it soon.
Time to say bye bye!
I've posted photos over the course of the last few months and I'm going to again once I get my paperwork done from the doctors office this upcoming month. I will be laid out for a good week following, along with the 2nd week once drains come out (yuck, never had to deal with that with any other surgery, so that makes me nervous)
Doing this has been something I've wanted for a long time and I couldn't do it up until now.
I am extremely excited and nervous at the same time.
Like butterfly inducing nervous.
I've lost over 50 lbs and 10ish more will put me at my high school graduation weight which is where he wants me. Dr. guessed it'll be around 5 lbs gone after surgery and I can continue to drop a little more after I'm back in the gym.
It's all so surreal.
(thank you dear lord baby Jesus.)
I wouldn't have done this had my weight not reached a point in the process it needed to be.
In 2012 I was going to but I was still hovering way to close to 200 lbs. In fact, when I was going to do it originally I was 201 the day I booked it. But we canceled because I was too big and we decided we wanted a Jensen lol. :)
Another thing is -
I've decided, some how, some way that is still unclear to me:
I'm incorporating the fitness realm into my future career.
My graphic design, photography, fiction writing, and art will ALWAYS be there and going,
but since this fitness journey and with the help of my trainer,
on top of EVERYONE who has kept me motivated, come to me for advice, said I had inspired them, and pushed me to keep going,
this is only the beginning.
This last year was only me waking up and warming up to the idea.
As I heal from this surgery coming up and can hit the gym again...
Megan 3.0 is going to hit things full force. I have some cool stuff I'm figuring out for early 2015 as well when things are in full swing too, so keep your eyes peeled.
I can't wait to start on this new project.
>)
(btw --- 2.0 was during and after kids, and 1.0 was before haha #nerdingout)
SO.
That is the big news right now.
I'm ready for this saggy skin over my c-section flap to be gone.
I've worked my butt off to get here and this will bring it all together.
8 more weeks.
I'll update again soon! :D
