Quality of life after sleeve

[BJean 16]

Amen to that!

A good friend told me not to live in the past or I will miss the present and not be ready for the future. She's right! Onward and upward!

At least we did finally get ourselves moving in the right direction. Hurrah for us!

Btw daisy, I hope that one day I'll see my ticker saying I'm 5 lbs below my target weight like yours does! Or 1 lb from goal like Jane's! You gals rock!

You will get there soon BJean. The sleeve rocks!

Hey, I saw my friend's daughter make a slushie.She had a machine that ground the ice really fine like shaved ice and she poured that sf Davinci or Torini Syrup over it.

She said she got the thing that makes the shaved ice from pampered chef. I thought of you while I watched her make it.

We actually have one of those Margaritaville machines that shaves ice. I just haven't taken the time to figure out a low-cal flavoring to make it happen. It does make good margaritas (none since I've been sleeved tho) but there's no reason you can't make other non-alcoholic slushie drinks too.

I am actually thinking about making a slushie mojito drink for company tonight. I went to the Dallas farmer's market and bought big beautiful limes and a mint plant. I've never heard of frozen mojitos, but why not? It might be my first alcoholic beverage since sleeving - except for a taste of wine a couple of times. The wine just doesn't sit well with me. Kinda burns my stomach, know what I mean?

And thanks for the encouragement. Yesterday was tough for me. I don't know what happened. I just kept snacking after dinner on cocoa dusted almonds and regular almonds. Sort of like I used to not be able to quit when I was out of control. But today has been fine and I have had nothing but healthy, small quantities of food all day.
