• Athena's momma here. Our girl made it through surgery just fine. She is going to be doing Box jumps in no time. Doctor said the leg is straight, but she is going to have to work very hard to straighten it on her own. She will be using muscles that she has never been able to use before so she has a lot of work in front of her. Thank you for all the prayers. Rm 376

  • Day 829.245 lbs lost (as of 3-14). How blessed and fortunate am I to have this guy visiting during this crazy time. It was a day of good laughs, thoughtful conversation, good food and the beginning of what I like to call chapter 2. The support system I have had in this incredible journey since the day it started has been massive and this is just a little cherry on my cake. I appreciate this guy so much. Thankyou for being here dear friend. . . . . . @crossfit #crossfit #crossfitlevel1 #crossfitlife #obesetobeast #weightlossjourney #poweredbyjesus #crossfitfamily #crossfitcommunity #weightlossstory #WOD #seekhim #girlswhocrossfit #womenwhocrossfit #loveinchrist #friends #trusttyson

  • Day 829. 245 lbs lost (as of 3-14). And so it begins. Three days of using a special pre surgery antibacterial soap in the shower, jugs of lemon water, no lotions, perfumes, powders, shaving,......... coffee. Uhhg, that's a hard one. I couldn't help but wonder as I was scrubbing myself down with this stuff this morning what the next week or several months is going to look like. I'm full of wonder and curiosity, but more importantly, I'm excited to see what a straight right leg is going to look like. Am I finally going to be able to wear high heels? And I going to be able to walk without it hurting? Am I going to be able to ditch the pain pills permanently? All unknowns but Im excited. Check in is Thursday morning at 7am. #bioniclegs . . . . . #crossfit #crossfitlevel1 #crossfitlife #obesetobeast #weightlossjourney #poweredbyjesus #crossfitfamily #crossfitcommunity #weightlossstory #kneereplacement #jointreolacement #totalkneereplacement #seekhim

  • Day 828. 245 lbs lost (as of 3-14). Happy Easter family! I'm having a restful weekend in preparation for Thursday. Easter this year for me means spending time at my parent's place, listening to beautiful Church messages, and I can almost guarantee a showing of Ben Hur. I found a cute Pinterest egg coloring project that most assuredly will end up as a fail, but we've also got the stuffing of cornish game hens and a beautiful Easter dinner this afternoon. I wish you a blessed Easter. Lots of love. . . . . . #crossfit #crossfitlevel1 #crossfitlife #obesetobeast #weightlossjourney #poweredbyjesus #crossfitfamily #crossfitcommunity #weightlossstory #easter #easter2019 #eastersunday #seekhim #girlswhocrossfit #womenwhocrossfit #WOD

  • Day 824. 245 lbs. Lost (as of 3-14). My only real source of frustration at the moment comes from a pair of CrossFit shoes symbolically hung up in my laundry room. It was my way of saying, “It’s time to hang it up for a bit.” I will cry if I think about it too much. I always said I would be doing CrossFit until the day before surgery, but unfortunately, that wasn’t possible. I’m moving at the pace of a turtle, and simple walking has become difficult once more.  I try not to think about recovery time. When I start thinking about that, I start thinking too much about the second surgery this fall, and it's easy to get caught up with “time.” “How long is it going to take,” “when am I going to be back in class”………. Etc etc.  It pains me to sit it out, but I know as usual there is a lesson in store for me. That’s usually how God works in my life. 🙏 Read more of this on the blog.

  • Day 821. 245 lbs lost (as of 3-14). It's been a little over two years now since the journey began and I am now embarking on chapter 2. I don't think there is any way a highlight-reel could adequately express the joy, pain, struggles, tears, growth and experiences but this will have to do. With surgery about a week and a half away, it could not be better timed. My goal was to give the journey and all of the new initiatives forthcoming a new home. There is still much to do, and it changes daily, but it's time to show you what I've been working on. The downtime will give me plenty more working time and if you take a peek, you'll see why! I'd like to thank every single one of you for being with me every step of the way and more to come. Lots of love.
