I am so much a morning owl. Once I'm up I can't just roll over and go back to sleep, its like I feel every ache and pain in my back and legs and got to get up and start moving.

Well!! Managed to go for a gorgeous walk up a bloody big hill. My watch tells me I climbed 55 stairs worth

Ok, Happy Saturday to all!!! ((hugs)) Busy day today. Just finished a 35 minute "run" or ralk if you prefer (3mph). LOL. ;) Am having a quick cuppa then off to get ready to go HEBing and run errands. Then back to clean house, have a repair dude coming to fix our shower and bath plumbing. Ugh. Hate having workmen in the house!

Read a book: I got this book as a gift from a friend, long ago. And I pulled it out last night and am actually starting to read some of it. :)

Staying in tonight with Mr. F. and finishing binge-watching the "Dead To Me" series with Christina Applegate. :) So so so good! Will grill salmon and asparagus and have our fav avo/tom salad. :)

Have a great day everyone!!

Road trip today. I’ll still go for a walk after we check into our hotel. We should get there early evening depending on border traffic. The place we are staying tonight is right on Lake Huron so it looks like a great place to go for a walk.

Went for a hike this morning and got to the top of the hill where the flag is......as u can imagine, I rarely do so.
Also got a picture of the sun rising.

Went to spin class afterwards for my cardio Tabata!! Phew

B side: My husband, brother and sister in law and I went on an adults only vacay in Turks and Caicos earlier this year in February. It was such a fantastically beautiful time. It was not a busy time and we just RELAXED in the resort and had all our needs catered to. I miss it and THAT feeling.

Good news, I dropped a little weight this morning, so I'm not so close to my upper 130 lb limit 😅

Because of this challenge I walked to my dry cleaners this morning. I would normally just drive since I'm going to be out and about running errands anyway. So I'm halfway to my mile goal today.

Work has been crazy, so I'd love to be back in Barbados, laying on the beach, under an umbrella, being brought rum drinks in coconuts 😍 (doesn't hurt that the drink vendors are gorgeous either!)

Made it to Canada, super easy trip. Walked 2 miles after dinner. Granted we walked to Tim Hortons but I only got a Decaf coffee!

B side. Anyplace I’m missing.. My hometown Madison, WI. I love that place.

Pretending it is Saturday - walked in the park close to my house. Longest walk since surgury in June. Still under MD not to sweat and no exercise. It ‘twas slow. Missing New England cooler weather and hikes. Fun fact: all DC residents are 10 minute walk from a park. Lucky my close park is big and green!!!

Hope it's not Rock Creek Park. ;) hehe

Good morning everyone!

Dropped a little weight again this morning. Back to my normal maintaining weight, so feeling better about that. But drank a ton of calories last night, so might get an upward bounce in a couple of days as a consequence, we'll see.

Today's challenge, take a bubble bath. I might get in my hot tub as a substitution, or might not, it's pretty freaking warm here!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
