B-Side Question: Ultimate favorite childhood game?

Kick the can!

I am still out of order on the list ? But I just got off he phone with my best friend in Iowa, that always brightens my day.

I will be meeting with the family on the 28th at a cafe to have holiday time together.

I don't like to buy flowers, they don't last so I got a new plant.

Tomorrow I am planning a most excellent bath. Candles and lavender bath salts.

Forgot I had dessert last night. Fit and Lite strawberry yogurt with 2 T sugar free whipped cream mixed in so yummy!

B-Side Questions: Are You finished

Holiday Shopping? Which Holidays

do you Celebrate?

Let's see...I did call my Mom on the 11th and am glad I did.

12. I haven't bought myself flowers but might hit up the local nursery for some indoor plants - maybe tomorrow.

13. I think I'll substitute a funny movie for the joke book. Maybe tonight.

14. I don't follow negative people so that's taken care of.

I've done a bit of yoga every day. Definitely did last night and that included warrior and savasana. I did happy baby last night and was able to grab my feet! So many non-scale victories! I also noticed I was able to use my lap for writing notes in my notebook while at a workshop yesterday. I'm headed to yoga class this afternoon. But first the gym!

Oh and yes, had my one year surgiversary this week. I'm the one in green and that was the night before Thanksgiving.

B-Side Question: Do you prefer to eat in or take out?

I prefer to eat in. That way I know what I'm eating and I get to make it the way I like it.

You look AMAZING ?HAPPY SURGIVERSARY?

Busy month! I haven’t done most of the list, of course I check it on a day that encourages me to shop! I’m going to have to resist...

I’m done with shopping, at least I think I am. I take everything out and sort it. Every year it is unbalanced and I run out and buy a few things to even it up. I think my youngest is getting shortchanged this year.

B side: I get sick of cooking and I have a habit of getting into a rut so I like going out a few times a week. I don’t make food my main focus which makes it easier.

15. I didn't get in a walk yesterday but I did go walk with a friend on Friday. It was cold and raw outside but we walked for about 45 minutes. Spent most of the day in yoga class though and hit the gym on the way home. Sometimes, I wonder who the heck took over my body! Love it though.

16. Well, I'm plotting all sorts of treats for myself but not sure what will win. I have my eye on a pair of studs so I can wear them all the time. I also have a lovely little wish list on Amazon. I plan on some at home yoga later on today. Tomorrow, I go for my one year follow up with the surgeon. I hope he's happy. I haven't laid eyes on him since before the surgery but have had support from the team. I thought I might ask about referrals for potential plastics in the future.

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday All!

You look great!! You must feel the same and so so proud of yourself![emoji122][emoji122][emoji176][emoji176]

Day 12: I didn't buy myself a flower but does e flowers count? I got that one in spades[emoji1]

Day 13: I did read a few chapters of my kid's book of jokes! Believe it or not, I laughed more at the cheesy "knock Knock" jokes!!! ....I need to get a life![emoji28]

Day 14: I'm not on the major social media sites other than Bariatricpal! Honestly the most positive site I've ever been on so no need to unfollow[emoji176]

Day 15: Definitely did that! Went hiking with BFF yesterday! And when I got to the top of the trail, I realized I was not huffing and puffing like I would have done in the past! A TRUE victory!![emoji119][emoji119][emoji119] That trail had conquered me many a times before! We did it so leisurely like we were walking on a flat land!

Day 16: I should get a nice pair of shoe really! But I need to offload some to charity in order to do that so we'll see if I can find the time.
