Woot!!!! Happy dance
Well, I said that I was going to do a happy dance when and if this happened. I am sitting in Starbucks right now, near two attractive, seemingly single women. I noticed them when I came in, I've been here for like 10 min. Well, one of them just looked my direction, look back at her friend and then her head snapped back to me and she checked me out!! *huge grin* I don't think I have ever had anyone do a double take for any reason other than my enormity. Woot! I'm pumped!!!

38 day out today.
Well, I pretty much eat protein. Not a lot of carbs but I do have some carbs. I seem to lose 3-5 lbs then stall and go back up and down for 3-4 days and then lose again then back up and down. Each time after a couple days I go lower on the downward slope.

A very nice NSV for me.
Congrats bro. I soo get it. I'm loving booths now too!

38 day out today.
Thx everyone. :-) it is surreal. I am about 3 lbs from my lowest adult weight!!!! I can't wait to see the scale below 220!!! @heatherr I don't know anyone in Montreal, I wanted to do something fun so I bought tickets to see the band U2 in concert there on July 9th. I decided to just fly somewhere to see a concert, then picked U2 and since I have never been to Montreal figured why not? :-) l try to live an Epic life. One where when I lay my head on the pillow at night I smile. :-)

Started playing raquetball today
Absolutely fine. I haven't had any trouble with pain my incisions are pretty much healed. I don't notice them at all or any soreness in the muscle even after a long work day. I have been healing great. I just really wish I could get more protein in and fluids. Feels like I deal with and think about eating more now than before. Constantly tryin to get fluids in and protein. I was kinda worn on it yestarday and just decided I was not going to worry about it. So I didn't drink much or eat much at all. It was really nice to just have a mental break. Then last night I was really thirty so I got in about 40 oz liquid in like 3 hrs Today I am back at tracking and making it work. But I can see some day I will just need a mental break
