B-Side Question:

What was the best compliment you ever received?

I heard from a mutual friend that my friend who is really intelligent, told them I was the smartest person they ever met. I was stoked (even though it's not true hahaha)

It's Totally true Dr. Ummyasmin ?

Checking in ...

Weighed in at 126.6 this morning. So happy I have some cushion to stay under 130.

Walked 1+ miles 10/12 days (thanks airports, trade show, and bar hopping ?)

10, 11 & 12 - smiling + music + dance party

Went dancing Friday and Saturday night so I think I covered all of those bases ?

Best compliment

Co-worker / good friend, whom is gorgeous and has very high standards in women, tells me in his southern drawl "Damn girl, you look amazing! You must have lost 30 lbs!" (I had lost 80 at that point)

It must have felt amazing !

Best Compliment: hmmm, professionally: "You are the best doctor I've ever had the opportunity to meet". Didn't do anything special, just listened ?‍♀️?‍♀️
Personally: My kids do tell me they are happy I am their mommy...inspite of my happy dance this morning [emoji5][emoji5]

I bet you are a great listener, and totally appreciated.

All. The. Feels.

So, had a rest day yesterday. I thought about doing a Body Groove work out as that could've counted as a dance party but didn't. Does my wagging my butt at someone count? I was imitating the puppy, lol.

I went to the gym this morning and did the 35 minutes of cardio. I don't see me listening to a podcast anytime soon. Nothing against them but so many other things have priority.

Happy Tuesday!

I (re)discovered podcasts last month and have been listening to them compulsively. Dr Death was scary but Man in the Window had me freaking out when I listened to it driving home in the dark one night.

Thanks!![emoji169][emoji169][emoji169]

One year ago today! I hoped I would reach 140, I thought my current weight 129-130 was too much of a stretch goal. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I know the hard part will be over the next few years. I feel like I’m educating myself and preparing for what lies ahead.

I have an appointment with the personal trainer late afternoon. I’m certain I’ll meet the 35 minutes of cardio! The gym has a really nice private steam room so I might indulge in that afterwards. I have been listening to the podcast My Favorite Murder. I love morbid stuff if I’m not involved.

I didn’t go to the arcade zone yesterday, my son had plans. Womp womp.

August 11-13th:

11:Favorite vinyl ?

12:Did the potty dance aftera long ride... Counts ?

13:Listening to Trader's tales by Nathan Lowell

Good morning Good people

B-Side Question: What is the best lie you ever told?

Just goes to show, you never know how good a few kind words might make someone feel!!

I am known in my family for being a terrible liar. It's so bad that when my daughter wanted to come to a movie with me she was about 6 months too young to get into, she didn't want me to open my mouth to answer if we got asked how old she is.

Update: Personal trainer did not kill me but I’m pretty sure he tried. I was d.y.i.n.g. after awhile I said, “Do you expect this much out of every almost 60 year old person? “ (Ok, I’m 58 but I wanted him to feel bad for me) I got a new compliment today. First he thought I was joking, then realized I wasn’t . He apologized and said he honestly thought I was 45 and reduced the crazy amount of weight he was expecting me to lift.

Maybe he was blowing smoke up my ..., who knows.

I don’t look like I’m 45, ok maybe a rough 45 year old. My neck looks 80.

Best lie... I don’t lie very often because I could never keep track, but I love a good prank. I convinced a friend in high school that Jimmy Carter was my Grandfather. He was running for president and I was bored. I told her the truth the following day.

Day 13:

Thanks to this challenge that is expanding my horizon, I went to muscle class instead of studio cycle at the gym today and I barely got to the 30mins mark before I begged off[emoji26][emoji26][emoji26][emoji26][emoji26][emoji22]. Luckily I was by the door so I stylishly snuck out!! THAT WAS HARD!!!!!!! I still hurt all over! Makes spin class look like babycakes!

Listen to a podcast: I didn't get to this. I do have a list that I made from suggestions on this forum.....hoping to get to it as I recuperate from surgery.

Best lie: hmmm......[emoji848][emoji848] my family knows not to include me in a lie or conspiracy as I give it up inadvertently! No joke! It takes energy and concentration that I occasionally lack.

That being said, I lied to a colleague who is a serious arrogant showboat that I couldn't attend an event he invited me to (which was primarily to show off) because I will be out of town!!....I don't regret the lie [emoji57]
