is still living the good life! (via http://www.sparkpeople.com/ )

It is so dang hot here today and Thursday/Friday is close enough for me to check the weather in Tijuana. Hoping for some sweet relief. It'll be worth the gas pain, I think! Also.. I think all I am going to be able to get down is RTD protein. Can't wait to be able to get the protein in through food!

It's a beautiful day.. but dang if my neck doesn't still hurt. Ugh.

It's a great day to be alive. I know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes.....

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me; and I'm feeling good.

It's still strange to me that a single scrambled egg is enough to fill me up and then some, but whaddya know? Here I am, all filled up,

Just ate chicken... Nom nom nom..

Just noticed that I am counting down on these statuses to my date of departure and not surgery. 49 days til I leave, 50 days til the sleeve! Hey, that rhymes!

Less than 2 months (58 days) to go. I can't even believe how time is passing now with so much going on.

Liquid pre-op starts today. I've never been more excited to weigh in.

Missing you, how are you doing?

Mmm, spoonful of peanut butter to celebrate Peanut Butter Day. LOL. Yum.

MMMMmmmm... Shrimp Cocktail for lunch. Whole Foods has THE BEST cocktail sauce.

Mmmmmmmmaking my roux for tomorrow's gumbo. This rain makes for good weather for it.

No if, just win.

No shoes, no shirt, and I still get service.. Wha!

Nutritious, convenient, and DELICIOUS. Breakfast taco for me and Lemon Turkey for the seester! You guys MUST check this place out!

Oh, how you have disappointed me Chuck Norris... Don't pretend you don't care.

Only 2 weeks until pre-op diet begins. I definitely like this countdown more. Happy Tuesday!

Only 6 days and I'm getting really nervous....................... about the plane ride. LOL. Bring on the scalpel!

Plane tickets purchased, passport application filed, now all that's left is the wait. :-) 52 days!

Protein sampling time. I got the Nectar Sampler package and while some our amazing, and some are just so-so, NONE are pour the glass out disgusting.

Red lights as far as I can see... Admittedly, this morning that isn't very far, but I have a sneaking suspicion..

Rooting for the Ravens! If they're gonna beat us, they may as well make it to the Super Bowl. I really dislike the Patriots too. So, yah.
