I did not stitch every day this past week because I was studying for the exams. I did catch up on my new starts for Debbie's Ultimately Crazy Stitching Challenge on yesterday. The following pictures are 7 new starts.

Me on January 16, 2015.
I went to the see the nurse from the surgeon's office. I celebrated my first surgery anniversary. I had lost 70 pounds this past year. I am very proud in what I had accomplished. My life changed so much this past year and all for the better. I have more energy and I do not mind going for walks or doing chores. I like doing them now because I do not get so tired very quickly. I can do stuff. I love to go walking and I will continue to do so when the weather is a little warmer. I know I could have done better. I can make a whole bunch of excuses but in the end, it was me who made those wrong choices. I am being hard on my self and have been told that many times, but I am the only one I answered too. I am the one that I have to take of so I can live a long life. Before my surgery, I was heading to an early death. Now, there is big chance I can live a longer life and do more traveling and exploring this world I want to do. I need to loose more weight to enjoy these activities. I won't loose the weight if I continue to make the wrong choices. I would never regret having this surgery because I am living a life now and before I wasn't and for that I will always be grateful.
I will be back next week with more starts.
Hugs,
Vicky
