  1. Finally, officially in size 18 pants :). Picked up 2 new pairs and an outfit for the gym as a treat - and accidentally found a dress, too. Someone left it in the dressing room and it fit, so it must've been meant for me, right?

      It was the dressing room at the store, not the gym - someone tried it on and decided not to buy it

      Thanks, Carlotta! These races must be more important to me than I realized since I keep going back for more! lol :)

  3. Finished the Ugly Sweater 5k in less than an hour with dilly-dallying at the hot chocolate station to take pictures of inflatable reindeer. There was a time I would have had to push to my limits and taken over 2 hours...

      Wow ! !!!! Great job !! Im impressed !! Im also a little jealous, I had to give up running because of a foot injury and I always wanted to start running races , but its not to be. But happy for you !!! Congrats !!!!

  4. First day on real (but soft) food yesterday, and my stall broke - dropped 2 pounds. WOOO!

  5. First post-op nutritionist meeting. She wants me closer to 80 grams of protein. This is the point where I stomp my feet like a kid and pout, "But it's HARD!", lol

    1. Miss Mac

      Yep. Mine went from 60g to 80g after surgery, too. It took me a couple of months to get there. At a year out, I can get 60g any day, 70g most days, and 80g a couple of days a week.

      New Whey makes a liquid protein that you can add to your favorite drink that has 42 grams of protein. They come in many different flavors!!

      Thanks! Maybe I just need to start earlier in the morning. I seem to run out of time to eat!

  6. First time in my life I've ever had to worry about expiration dates and food safety.

  7. Got my date! 11/25/14

  8. Got started with Match.com and Plenty of Fish. This is hard, why didn't I do it when I was younger?

      I had success been in a relationship for over 3 years and we REALLY took our time getting to know each other, which I love. Yes there were plenty hit and misses. Just be sure to be very selective, listen, have lots of convo and watch out for any warning signs. Don't settle, don't rush & have fun.

    3. MrsSugarbabe

      Good luck! I met my hubby on eHarmony in 2003....big smile! Peas in a pod. I was 46 then. We got married just before my 47th birthday. The site has changed some now, but I liked the way the site worked. I agree with @lisaanewme67 about being selective, don't settle, don't rush, have lots of conversation, WATCH FOR WARNING SIGNS/FLAGS, and Have Fun. Remember: Not every date has to turn into a relationship. And, something someone told me many, many years ago.....don't date someone you wouldn't marry.

      So far, one super nice guy that I'm sad to not be attracted to (he's THAT nice), one that has a job and makes me laugh so he sounds pretty promising, and one creeper that "has a good feeling about me"...and so does his kid. That seems pretty aggressive, lol.

  9. Got to work with my shiny new 32 oz Contigo all filled up with ice and water...and realized I forgot to reattach the damn straw to the lid when it came out of the dishwasher. Whoops.

  10. Guh...swallowed chicken wrong. Won't go down, won't come up, and it HURTS.

    1. roundisashape

      Thank you! I'm at the 8 month mark, and even though I'm pretty careful sometimes I just forget myself. It's always a surprise, lol.

      It's usually my fault - you may have nothing to worry about!

  11. Had sauerkraut last night and thought I damaged something until I figured out it was gas. It was worth it.

      Miss Mac

      Oh, man......now I want some kraut.

      Something about that vinegar is SOO good after all the sweet protein shakes!

  12. Having some trouble balancing intake with increased exercise - feel like I'm either getting too much food or having dizzy spells with exercise.

  13. Heading to Target to grab a Fitbit Zip. No sense in getting the more expensive one until I know I'm going to really use it!

  14. Hearing all the suggestions about taking PPI's as a post-op because acid feels like hunger makes me wonder if trying it as a pre-op would help.

      I have to take one every day because if I don't I get bad reflux. Just an over the counter Prilosec works fine.

  15. Here's hoping for a night without riots. I still love you, Baltimore, but this sucks.

      BackSpin81

      Agreed! This breaks my heart.

      Thanks, all! I've been medicated and offline. Feeling much better now, though - still going to have some back pain for a while, but thankful that it wasn't worse. Back at it! :)

  17. I can now officially zip ALL of my jackets. WOOO!

  18. I DID IT! I went to Old Navy and actually zipped a pair of jeans. :D

    1. ProjectMe

      ProjectMe

      YES! What an accomplishment! Keep it up!

  19. I don't know what the heck I ate that wasn't right, but this is the worst gas I've had since surgery almost 10 months ago. Feel like I should tie my ankle to the chair so I don't float off, lol.

    1. Mini_me007

      Mini_me007

      Oh, no!! Love your attitude about it, though. LOL! Here's hoping you're better soon!

    2. ProudGrammy

      tie ankle LOL gas , wish you luck with that LOL - hope you feel better soon - kathy

  20. I hope my neighbor accidentally drops her stereo out of the upstairs window. She's vibrating my whole house and I'm trying to finish a final exam for a class I already can't stand.

  21. I love Fairlife milk. Tastes normal, more protein!

  22. I seem to already be stalling - no movement in a few days - but today I feel really really good and got into a couple of shirts I couldn't wear 2 weeks ago. I'm not worried in the slightest!

  23. I stay so constipated every BM should be logged as "cardio" on myfitnesspal.

      I nibbled lettuce on Friday, but I'm technically not clear until NEXT Friday. I'm itching for it, lol.

  25. I want a fresh tomato more than I've wanted anything in a long time. Not cleared for raw veggies yet.
