Never Been Told This Before...

"You need more calories and carbs in your diet" 

Woo HOO!  I was so worried that I was screwing my diet up.  I found out that I need to get 1200 calories a day and 130 grams of carbs per day.  I have only been getting 60-70.  Apparently, too few carbs affects your brain function, which would explain a lot.  I have been pretty ditzy lately.  (Insert your favorite blonde joke here.) 

Oh, I'm so happy!  I lost 20 pounds of fat and gained 2 pounds of muscle, a nice trade, I think.

Another cool thing is that I can have a small square of dark chocolate every day.  The catch is that it has to have 70% cocoa for me to have it.  But, I get to have chocolate every day.  I feel so blessed.

By the way, I had my 3 month post-surgery appointment today.  I got good feedback, kudos and warm feelings.

I went to the consignment store to get some clothes, which would be infinitely easier if my bottom matched my top, but I am a pear shaped person.  I'm a 1X (18-20) on top and a 3X (24-26) on bottom.  It felt SO good to buy smaller clothes.  This particular shop is only for plus sizes.  My upper half is almost too small to shop there.  I love my life today.

I hope that today brings wonderful wow moments to you!!  God bless...
