There are many of us on pre-ops now and some have a few days. Just about a week left!!! How awesome and exciting it is! ?

Fajitas are a favorite at my house. I need to come up with a veggie version. I debated whether to eat the salmon or not lol . It was good, but honestly I could have skipped it.

I am sure it is hard to cook in some one else's kitchen. You just don't have the things you are used to.

Yeah, wasn't the same experience, cooking wise, but I got the job done. I've made fajitas some time back before surgery using portobello mushrooms with peppers and onions. Used corn tortillas with them. It was really good, but at the time my husband really wasn't on board with WFPB and complained about it. Lol. I think I'll make them again sometime.

I went running in a different location today with my hubby. It was the first time he has joined me. We went to a local park that has some hills. I was a little worried about him running as he has a bad knee and you know that man macho pride makes them keep going even when it hurts... It was fun and I hit some personal bests today, longest run, fastest pace, and most calories burned!!

So I can say without a doubt this WFPB diet does not hold you back at all with performance. Yesterday I consumed 53g protein, 64g carbs, and 53g fat for a total of 924 calories. I need to eat more carbs and less fat. I think my protein is fine. My diet is a work in progress as I transition because old habits die slowly. Everyday I am choosing healthier items purposely, and I get closer and closer to the ideal I have in my mind.

Have a great Sunday everyone.

I am considering a TT and a breast lift. I am waiting to see what i look like closer to One year out to make a final decision. I am saving up though just in case.

I agree!! So many great things have happened to me as a result of having the surgery. I know for a fact I wouldn't be as healthy as I am now if I hadn't done it.

Lady you look awesome!!! Wow! You already have a date? Didn't know that can be done so far in advance. I am planning a breast lift for sure!!!! I'll have to wait till I'm closer to goal or at to determine whether I think I need a TT. I'm hoping my skin kind of ounces back a little. There's hope! ?

Well, getting back to some routine here after Harvey. CC was spared the devastation, we had a bunch of mess (no power, tons of trees down, etc), but our neighbors, Rockport and Aransas Pass weren't spared. They're only 30 miles northeast of us so it's heartbreaking. Many members of my church are helping out over there as well. If I had someplace to put my kids, I'd be there too. School is out until Tuesday and so I haven't been able to go back to work either. It's just been a mess all around, but God is good. I'm thankful for the unity and love that is being shown and sown these days.

So, back to focusing on my WFPB way and getting my kitchen finished!!!!!! Lol. Yep, still not done. Smh??‍♀️

Glad you are starting to return to a more normal routine. My hubby's National Guard unit is asking for volunteers to go to Houston and help with the clean up and other tasks. He may end up going, but to early to know just yet.

I hope the government really steps up and helps everyone get back on their feet.

Even if the gov didn't, there are thousands of Texans here that are committed. A contractor at my church is out rebuilding already, tons of people I know are pitching in any way they can. Tomorrow, my husband and I are going to get out and help what we can as well. We will take our children and have them help. It'll be a good lesson for them to be grateful for what they have.

No doubt about it. It is awesome to see people helping on the news. ?
