  1. Back from NC and TN mountain vacation...we had a wonderful time! Early in the week I thought we were not going to see any colorful leaves but the last few days we got into some areas that were beautiful!.....The casino on the other had wasn't very good to me .....but it was still fun!

      Something must be said to the US Postal Service. My invitation got lost. Oh well, here I am in the absolutely stunningly beautiful Catskill Mt. where God is really showing off his eye for color excellence.

  2. I am very excited! I just scheduled my next plastic surgery for January 19th. I am having an Abdominalplasty, Breast Lift with augmentation. I am nervous but thrilled because I know the results will be incredible and I am tired of hiding my loose skin!

      My favorite. The anticipation of Winter's arrival is in the air. Tomorrow, I'm taking the grandsons up Mt. Utsyantha to climb the fire tower. The view should be magnificent. God's canvas!

  4. What a night..... Dinner with one guy and drinks with another.... then ended that night at a "gentlemen s" club. How did that happen.

  6. Cleared to eat whatever like two weeks ago, but im still sticking to the basics. I dont want to get sick so im not trying any new foods yet but man do i want some lettuce! Also had a thought in my mind that i really wanted and missed going to a buffet ha, those days are memories! I havent figured out how to eat out so i dont, but im having an itch to go out and do something, anything! But im so used to it revolving around food so dont know quite what to do. I guess i dont have the time anyway

      Take the time. Go out and enjoy a meal. Baby steps. Go alone the first time if you'll feel more at ease. I even took a small scale with me the first time I went to a buffet. No rush. Be patient with yourself and kind. You're worth it.

  7. I went to see Elton John in concert last night. I know that has nothing to do with weight loss... lol... However, I did log some extra steps walking from the casino parking lot to the River Center!!! I've been loving his music since I was a little girl. It was awesome. Life is good!

      You going out to a concert has everything to do with living a healthier, more energized life----sooooo partake and enjoy!! ;)

      There's NO place like the North East USA for Fall foliage. (MHO) It is truly God's canvas and He is feeling extremely artistic this year.

      @High functioning fat man: (HFFM-- :) ) How about WALKING through the woods instead of driving---and always toward a "fish'n spot". :)

  15. So as of this morning...4.5 months after my surgery I am down a total of 80 pounds!! 80 POUNDS!!! Can you believe it??!!! I actually wore a size 10 jeans out to dinner last night! (okay they were big 10s but they were 10s)....on the day of surgery I wore a size 22 to the hospital. I wonder when my amazement will wear off? I hope it never does!!! Everyone have a great weekend!!!

  19. Ugh. Hurting worse today. This is what I was afraid of with strength training - if I overdo just a bit, it starts inflammation up which causes arthritis flare. Have another trainer session tonight, I'll go ahead and go because we're going to have to work together to keep forward momentum without overdoing it. Not taking any Advil because also have rheumy appointment today and they'll draw blood, don't want the factors to show low because of NSAIDs. :(

      Living in the Catskills, I know what you're talk'n about. I have to drive 80 miles to reach the salt water PT pool, but I do it because I feel I can do more and feel better when I do. With my Fibro, OA, RA, and DJD, I consider my pool time as my treat to myself. Good luck with your exercise program. Be kind to yourself as well as "work'n it". :)

      If you can find a salt water pool, any money you may have to pay extra is well worth it. I did all of my PT and exercising in such a pool. It was wonderfully free feeling and effective.

  23. Nothing like waking up in the morning to a barfing cat /cry. I swear one of my cats are bulimic. I took her to the vet & there is nothing wrong with her. Poor kitty but poor me too.

      Aaaahhh, the sound of a cat/dog beginning to vomit is better than an alarm clock. Feet out of bed faster than the speed of sound! Been there. :) Feel better, Kitty.

  24. At nearly 6 weeks, I have finally started an exercise regimen. My hubby and I have been going out to walk the dog around the neighborhood since the weather has been cooler, and tonight we are going to the gym. What a switch from before surgery, coming home to drink wine, eat a big dinner and veg in front of the TV!

      Still sounds terribly romantic! Lucky you. Lucky hubby!
