Update

We went in to the Dr's office on Tuesday for Brendon's 11 year checkup! Wow, I cannot believe he will be 11 in a couple of weeks. Everything checked out well. Brendon is now 4 '10 and weighs 77 pounds. He is in the 75th percentile for height and the 50th for weight. The translation, Brendon is tall and thin. Even though he is thin now, the doctor talks to all kids about obesity. He told Brendon that the main culprit in obese children is empty calories from sugary drinks. Brendon's BMI (body mass index) is a 16.5, and the average for his age is 20. So, he is doing well. Staying active, and eating right. I have made sure that Brendon is health conscious, considering I used to be obese. My BMI before my surgery was a 43!
On that note, I have decided that I must become more proactive to lose this baby weight. I have about 13 lbs. to lose to get back to my prepregnancy weight, but I need to lose about 30 lbs. I put on about 15 lbs. before I ever got pregnant. When I graduated college, I wasn't walking near as much before, and put on some weight. I have now joined Weight Watchers and the YMCA. I am really determined to lose some weight, so wish me luck:)
