Another date with my lonesome closet today. Purchased this dress past winter to wear + replace much needed donated dresses OR so I thought. It hangs in plastic until a better day. ;[

WOW that look's delish. I really miss pizza. Did this satisfy?

Lunch today with two Sunday leftover shrimps. Ate ¼ of salad - Hub's ate the rest. He finishes a lot of my meals at the peril of his waistline. Haha. Actually, we've been making his portions smaller to factor in finishing my plate! LOL.

Sunday brunch out. Needed a break from cooking this week. Tried new excellent restaurant in town porch side. We ordered a sampling feast for plenty of leftovers. Shrimp + slivered cauliflower, date, kale, roasted almond salad with lemon vinaigrette. Classic Cuban sandwich with pineapple aioli. Chicken and red velvet waffles with spicy maple syrup + lemon yogurt. The best meal out in a very long time. I ate two shrimp and ¼ of the salad. Enjoyed the salad, shrimp and some chicken again for Monday's dinner. Hub's been eating the rest. ;]

Love this outfit on you! Are you going in for a buttocks lift soon? Are you enjoying summer so much more this year without the extra skin weighing down? I am. What a resounding difference the removal has made. Right? ;]

Thanks, ms.sillykitty! Just scheduled my brachioplasty today for September 24th... So I don't have to limit myself to ¾ or long sleeves or have them lengthened as with this hot pink pouf sleeve. Here is the original sleeve design and intent. I asked surgeon to go below elbow (scars will skin tone in time) so not to have that bulge where inner arm seam stops. I'm excited. I believe the last plastics journey, hopefully.

Hi ms.N11 - we missed you! How ya been girl!? Are you still reporting to work and/or dressing up in those FAB outfits?! I had to cover all my garments in the closet with plastic due to the dust accumulating. ;[ As you can see on thread - Jake has become quite the HUNK and jumping out of airplanes now. You may need to have a talk with him about high risk activities! Ha Ha. ;]. You have slimmed down wonderfully since your last posts. Love this outfit! The earrings, priceless! You are rocking it. Stay with us -even if only casual stuff. I miss your spunky spirit. Hugs. Keep well in Jersey. Precarious here in Florida... Oh boy.

Congratulations for moving forward with determination and resolve! You've GOT this, and like you said - you do not have to contemplate it for months. This new opportunity and acceleration may just be a blessing in disguise? So happy and excited for you. I meet with my surgeon this Monday about arm lifts. She did an excellent job with breast + tummy lifts in January - I feel incomplete with very saggy, heavy and troublesome arms. They really weigh me down now. Keep us posted. What day next week?

Part One: Ample OOTD's this week... launching our professional photo shoot yesterday with my treasured colleague in the safety of our home. A few wardrobe changes - Lavender, leather, lace and denim session. ;]

Ms. A - you look absolutely delicious in this outfit!!!!! Wow. What a stylish BEAUTY you are. AND, the boots + belt are HELLO - to die for. It is funny that your winter and we are summer. Is that why they call it down under as in polar opposites? Been watching Dr. Blake mystery series and enjoying learning more about Australia.

Lunch today was take-out Thai after the vet appointment with Bobby. Pepper steak - I mean YUM!

BRAVO! That's one fine looking corn tortilla - Worth the splurge.

New recipes from polyester's vegan links... The White Bean soup was delicious made from cassoulet beans and chicken broth. Tweaked a bit here, as I'm a flexitarian. The beans were deliciously creamy and tender. Mr. Sophie (the baker in the family) made these Blueberry Chocolate Bars and loves them! They did not agree with me. While layered with wholesome ingredients - A little too rich and sweet for my new sleeve palette. However, I did enjoy some fresh blueberries along with him. Seems simple, basic and unconstructed food is what I tolerate and savor most. Ho hmmm. I fear Ms. Sophie has become a culinary BORE! LOL. But like ms.sss - I really do appreciate and enjoy the sights and smells of a more complex dish. ?

These are stunning, ms.sss - And, just want to reach in the screen and savor. I have a nice large desk top - sooo ALL these yummy recipes come to me bigger than life. ;]

What a pretty, festive and appetizing dish + presentation!

Just picked up these slacks and crop top at the seamstress. 5 foot me ALWAYS needs alterations. ;[ Will need the appropriate shoes and accessories in time... Loving these new linen Bermuda shorts and cotton cool tops for humid Florida summers. 95 today. And, Yay, this time last summer July 14, 2019 I weighed 171. Today, I weigh 115. I have not worn shorts since WLS. I feel much cooler and lighter on my feet this summer then previous ones. So pumped!

Happy belated birthday, GT! Posies for the new you birthday celebration... Here are those terrific finds. Two quality cotton sweat shirts + windbreaker for under $28.00 from Macy's. All size extra small.

This curry corn and butternut squash soup was to die for. Think the fam might like it, too? But again - it's not beef or BQ! Serve a good steak on the side. Haha.

There you go! Burn baby burn. What sweet roll?

Salad looks delish! BUT I love that pastel mint with colorful sparkles nail polish!!! Manicure via a professional or yourself? Really pretty... ;]

I find this thread very helpful in gauging my own personal food consumption as we all evolve learning our new stomach capacity, and lifestyle habits with food. A good check and balances since we will never eat like normals or most around us whom are slender without WLS. After WLS food interaction can be a lonely plight without this invaluable fellowship. Ergo, thank you for pointing out the need for camaraderie and not criticism.

LOVE your dog! Name? Bobby, our wire fox terrier loves green beans, squash and most fruits. His kitchen antics when a potential snack might be involved. Haha.

This link is a hoot! Thanks for sharing. Meow. ;] Breakfast peaches this morning.

I was thinking vaccine! But you make a good point... LOL! Here's the seasoning version I found yesterday at Whole Foods market. Looking forward to trying it on a salad or veggies, but a little concerned that salt was listed as the 2nd ingredient. :[ Pickled beets and egg for breakfast.

Gorgeous children! No doubt where they get their stunning looks... BTW, found some amazing 80% off black Friday sales on Champion gear yesterday at Macy's. I'll model them - as you mentioned once the kids love that brand + look. Me, too. I could hardly believe the fun and colorful things I found for Florida winters. All cropped styles for this shortie on her casual errand runs. $60+ garments under $10.00 each. Blue wind breaker - $4.34. Crazy!
