Today marks 7 years 9 months since my RNY gastric bypass surgery ... it feels like it was just yesterday that I was being wheeled into the OR ... the same excitement of getting up each day minus 5 co-morbidities and any obesity related diseases ... health and mobility as I look forward to becoming a grandma for the very first time .... I ran a 10K and a 20K over the past weekend ... health and mobility in an old arse like me ... yes I am celebrating my monthly surgiversay and I love the goofy terminology too....

Soooooooo happy for another brand new day in which to celebrate life and joy with all life's challenges and blessings... from the beginning I tracked it all in my digital empowerment journal "A Picture A Day Keeps the Pounds and the Inches Away"...

Thank you OH for allowing me to share SNIPPETS OF MY JOURNEY...

Enjoying my 2nd litter of awesome toy poodles ... the white one, Bentley, is going to an awesome OH sista who I met at an OH Event in Long Island, Darice Blackman.... I have twelve whole weeks to love them up LOL....

The pups are beautiful and so are you,my dear! You are such an inspiration to us all. Congratulations on the 10K and 20K too. I can't even imagine the 20 K! Thanks for sharing your journey with us too!!
