Keeping Warm: I have had to learn a lot of things moving to Ireland. Good insulation and double-glazed windows help; thermal underwear; big puffy coats and don't forget your scarves and gloves; but mostly, spend time over at the in-laws who have a huge fireplace!

Fantastic timing for keeping warm in the winter. Had a great day at the Mccall winter festival. Forgive me for all the photos👼

Day 25 - keeping warm in winter! I use a double layer coat that can be worn 3 ways so it's super warm! Then since I'm always cold all the time these days, it's fleece tops, sweat pants, and an extra thick long fleece blanket. It does the job loldownload.jpeg

#25 ---lots and lots of hot coffee. Of course keeping cool in the summer entails lots and lots of iced coffee---may have a problem. 😬

#26 will need to wait. Not going out to eat until Monday.

Yeah, I don't do hats either--NYer thing perhaps? 😉


Maybe it’s a SoCal thing, but I take any opportunity I have to wear a hat. Went hiking when it was in the 40’s required a cashmere beanie 😂. There was ice on the ground people! I didn’t want to freeze to death! 😮😮

Well it isn't quite the First of February but I have lost 3 and 1/2 pounds this month , even with being on TPN, which slows down loss pretty much. But my loss means enough to me as 25 pounds does to another person, so I am boasting.😝

Eating out-

There's almost always some form of grilled meat and I substitute veggies for the sides. Take home the leftovers. If I'm not headed home, I need to practice leaving the food behind. I'm still tempted to keep eating so that I won't "waste" it. Like me hauling around an extra 100 pounds somehow helped starving children in 3rd world countries.

How I eat out: I've always had to wrestle with restaurant menus, coz I can't have anything with alcohol or non-halal meat so that usually means fish or veggie (unless they put wine in the sauce, the meanies).

So, that my cuts the menu down to a couple of good options and from that I try and pick something that isn't too fatty, creamy or sugary. Often I'll do an appetiser and a salad or Soup.< br>
I ask that the side of chips is taken off, and refuse the bread rolls in the beginning.

I don't really eat out that often, mostly coz there aren't a lot of good local restaurants where I live and I love cooking so we prefer home meals anyhow.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
