Happy Thanksgiving - Day 28- rather relsted- I got my Metro approval in the mail yesterday- Still have to endure a Orientation lecture next week- if rotten non- compliance landlord. still refuses to lower rent(2/3rds of my monthly Social Security is Excessive) after Today I can recall places- don't have one designated area development here for Metro- eligible but there are a few. rental complexs that will ACCEPT- now to find one Small Pet friendly, senior slightly handicaped, like no steps to climb, that is looking forward to 2 non- drinkers, smokers, drug- free, quiet non- drivers near designated bus/taxi routing- Don't Ask Much , do I? Be nice if there was laundry access, one nice thing about here was kitchen appliances, washer/dryer furnished and I didn't have to pay for water, sewer or refuse pick-up. But it was small, 2nd BD so small it should have been mud or storage room with no closets to speak of. Still I am getting Too Old to look forward to uprooting AGAIN but IT IS WHAT IT IS and I am getting tired of the FIGHT. Now that I AM Smaller if landlord wants to "Kick- box" I have the mobility to go a few rounds if necessary. Stay Tuned and if There is an Update, you know I Tell All!

Day 28.

Thanksgiving day!! We are out of town with family and the shock and aww about my weight loss got to embarrassing proportions[emoji57] It was very complimentary but I felt the need not to call more attention to myself by being extremely selective about what I put on my plate. So I put a tablespoon of everything on my plate, played around it a bit, ate only my delicious Turkey (albeit Fried rather than baked as this is how we do it) and gravy. A forkful of other things a restriction kicked in. I must have been liberal with cranberry sauce as I got that mini dump reaction that comes with instantaneous fatigue and need to lay down which I did and took a VERY long nap[emoji54] That's my Thanksgiving story[emoji28]

Things in my home that I'm thankful for? I think it's been said already...the fact that I have a home that I absolutely adore!! A home that feels safe.....so I am thankful for the safety of my home! Both the emotional as well as the physical safety of my home. [emoji176][emoji176][emoji176][emoji176]

Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving ?

What about my home am I most grateful for? It's fairly food free status. All I have are Jenny Craig meals in my fridge and Protein shakes on the table. I also have some Atkins bars that I thought were protein bars. Turns out they are more like candy. Oh well nice try on my part! they will have to go. But they are delicious.

What bill am I most grateful to pay? The bill for my surgery. I hope ithe bill doesn't scare me too bad when it comes.

Day 30: What experience this month are you most grateful for?

That I QUIT SMOKING (again)!

*Crossing fingers I will never put myself in a position to have to quit again*

What bill am I grateful to pay? Ugh. I’m just glad we can afford to pay them and carry no debt other than mortgage.

Day 29: I am grateful that we are able to pay all our bills and not have credit card or other debt. We do occasionally use a 6 month no interest thing on big purchases (most recently 10 tires) because I hate paying interest.

Well I have really enjoyed this challenge even though I have failed miserably. Weight this morning was 212.4 and I only went alcohol free on 3 days. I did stay within my 4 ounce limit with only a few deviations though. I am just too weak....

Day 27: I’m most grateful for our diversity. I grew up in a very mixed city and was influenced by many different cultures and backgrounds. I love the unity we have!

Day 28: I’m thankful just to have a roof over my head and the people I share it with. A home is not a home without the ones you love and I’m grateful for them. Thanksgiving was a nice reminder of that.

Day 29: My car payment! I’m still paying it but I’m glad I’m able to afford afford it and not be in debt. I can’t wait until it’s over lol

1. Personal Goal: To be in the 200’s by the 5th of December. That’s when I hit my 4 months post op. O

2. Add your surgery type, status (pre/post op, losing/maintenance): Sleeve, post op, losing

3. Weight and BMI: 301lbs

Day 29

Frankly still very sluggish from yesterday's food fest though I was very well within my caloric limits, the choices? Not so much [emoji57]

Bill I'm most grateful to be able to pay? ALL!! I definitely know it's a huge privilege to be able to do that of which I'm thankful and grateful [emoji120][emoji176][emoji176]

DAY 30: The experience I am most grateful this month happened a little over a week ago. Our goddaughter gave birth to 2 beautiful girls and I am just so happy for them. Can not wait to go meet them in a couple of weeks.

December challenge coming ?
