Kelli and I attended our first Patriots game ever. Had a fantastic time. No issues with the long walk from the parking lot to the stadium and plenty of room even with a packed house. Best weekend I've had in a long while. You can see from the photo we are both sporting multiple layers of baggy clothes. It got chilly once the sun went down.

That my butt and back hurt....LOL ok not so much the pain but the fact that I spent all day yesterday pulling carpet and painting a spare room without wearing out. Climbing ladders, crawling all over the wood floor, etc.

went back to my original wedding ring set, the second set was slipping out of my finger. Excited!

Almost forgot about that one. I haven't worn my wedding band on my hand in almost 8 months because it kept falling off. Now I wear it around my neck on a chain with my medical (band) dog tag. Figure once I finally bottom out with my losing I will get it re sized.

I've worked at the same place for 8 years. Yesterday our maintenance guy (who I haven't seen in awhile) came into my office, held out his hand for me to shake, and said, "You must be new, I'm Dan, nice to meet you." I was like, "Ummm, Dan, we've met! I've only worked here for 8 years!" HA! He couldn't believe how different I look!

Looking good Jim and Kelly! Even layered clothes are huge! Jim, my wedding ring was a 6, I had it cutoff about 23 years ago. i had it fixed for my personal Christmas present last year. It hasn't been off since. (replacement ring now I wear on my middle finger of my right hand).

All my pants are falling down just in time for the winter!! Calling Mr./Mrs.Tailor!! Not ready to be buying a whole new wardrobe for work just yet, so I'll take inventory and see the tailor for some alterations before everyone knows what color today's undergarments are :)

Lol that is too cute. I've been getting the same reaction from people I've known practically my whole life. Just last week, I had a guy that I hadn't seen in a long time ask me if I discovered the fountain of youth. Didn't realize how young I'm looking these days. So yes, I'm beaming. :)

I realized today my tummy no longer rubs the steering wheel when I am driving and I can see my thighs in the car seat instead of my belly

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
