Hey Girls~

Been busy and am looking forward to a nice weekend. Sat night we are having 3 couples over for dinner and drinky poos!!! Putting a big roasty thing in the crocker, making German noodles, and a big salad, and The Deans! Haydee and Michelle may remember The Deans...Vodka, cran, splash of squirt!!! YUMMY!!!

Other than that is Walden as a new term starts Monday, but students have already popped in. I start addressing 'em this weekend, then next week, it is easier.

I'm here!!

Carson has his 1 year pictures with the fancy photography place today. We're bringing themes this time, we were really disappointed with what they came up with for 6m pics.

So we got a hawaiian shirt outfit, baseball outfit, and jeans and t-shirt. Also bringing baseball props borrowed from my uncle. Going to ask them to do a baseball theme, hawaiian theme, and then something antique-y with the jean & t-shirt.. like him standing up next to a tractor or whatever antique prop we see there.

And I am back, finally. Kris and I signed up for WW. And yep, it's $44 a month here. We both got the points calculator and the Member Kit so we're good to go. Then we went and got chocolate sushi and a chocolate cream pie cupcake. wooo hooooo. We're starting tomorrow!

Laura.. you saw Grady's 1 year pics on Facebook. He had the baseball theme and the duck we got him for Easter. Carson is going to be so cute!!

Well.. Joe is leaving in two weeks, just as we leave for Texas. Bob says he needs to be home to say good bye to Joe, but I said NO WAY.. you are going to Texas WITH ME!!! So it begins.. Ethan might be on his way out of my everyday life. I'm going to love him up as much as I can while he's here. sighhhhhhhhhh

He's watching tv right now and Kris and Grady are sleeping on the couch.

Bob is golfing with Nathan and Nathan's dad. Jetta, the big dog totally destroyed one of the flower beds we just planted yesterday. I can't trust her outside by herself!! We'll have to repair that this afternoon.

Off to study my WW material.

Judy -- did I miss something?? Where are Joe and Ethan going?

I took the morning to soak up some Vitamin D. I needed that -- a sunny, warm deck, some ice Water, and a good book.

I think I've found the secret to WW. They give you sooooooooooo much to read, you don't have time to think about eating!!!

I start the program tomorrow. Lots of reading to do tonight. Kris is going to start Sunday. I do know that I have 22 points and Kris has 29 per day. Here we go!!

Joe is leaving in 2 weeks for Wyoming. He has a friend there who has a job for him. He's going to go and try it for a couple of months. If it works out, then Jen and Ethan will join him. Good for his family, very bad for Gramma.

I guess those are extra points that if you don't use them you lose them. I guess maybe sometimes we overeat and get discouraged, so this is a way to let us not feel guilty and give up, but rather, add those extra points and start again tomorrow. I think it's like 35 a week?

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
