Checking in, I've been missing you all
I've not been around much recently and thought I'd check in. I was a daily menu regular but during the last CAMAW I had to stop posting because my daughter was going through and exceptionally difficult time and she really required a lot of my help. She's much better now. After that I was off to see my son in a show and I'm finally back and able to take a few deep breaths and start back up again. Through it all I've maintained my weight and I'm working on it everyday. I haven't had the time or energy to exercise but I'm making sure I weigh and record and pay attention to what it I'm putting in my mouth. I've had some harder days and I'm constantly talking myself out of going off of my plan and it's working but it's hard. Since maintenance I've added nuts and nut butters on occasion because they can be hard for me to control but I do enjoy them at times. I've also added an occasional quest bar but other than that its just protein and non starchy veggies. The scale is still going down a tiny bit but that seems fine or now. I'm told I'm too thin by many but I'm 5'3" and 123 so I'm certainly fine. I'd love to get a DEXA scan but can't find one in the RI area. Anyone know anywhere in RI area? Anyway, I'm glad to be back and just thought I'd give an update. Eat well everyone this surgery has given us a great gift. Take advantage while you can.

Glad your back. Some states don't allow for the independent dexascans for body fat. In NY they can only be ordered by a physician.. therefore I have had to go out of state.

Hi Norma!
Welcome back!!
Guess what I'm having to do on Sunday?? Go to Tulsa! Dang it! My mom needs help with a couple of things. I'm missing you by a week or so! Where is the billboard with your son on it? I'll see if I'm near it and do a drive by

He was on the Tulsa Performing Art Centers board and an electronic board on I44 I think it was but now that the show is over I doubt it's up anymore.
