Do something else with your mouth....

So since I'm not eating as much... I've figured I better put my mouth to use in other ways.

 

I've started singing again... (Uh huh what were you thinking?!???! lol)

 

Something I've ALWAYS loved to do and have done forever.. I stopped singing right around 21 and now 12 yrs later, a lot of weight gain and more importantly loss later here I am.

 

There's truth to the saying "If you don't use it, you lose it" though.. but here I am just singing away trying to get some of it back. It's been interesting.. I joined an online karaoke site and it's the most hysterical thing, you can be TERRIBLE and people will give you 5 stars, right now I have a couple of songs in the site's "Top recordings" trust me when I tell you they're not good but hey I'll take the ego boost.

 

Anyways just one of my new hobbies I've picked up now that I'm feeling great about myself.. what interesting thing have you done or gotten back into since surgery?

I am so happy for you. Getting back to singing is great. I used to love going to the gym, and now that I have to go I am really enjoying it again. I love to dance, but my husband has 2 left feet, so as long as I can get him to the gym with me, I'm happy. Keep singing!
