Yay! It's (photo) Friday, what's on your menu?

Mornin' All!

I have to take my mother to a doctor's appt later this morning - then I'm meeting up with a former co-worker who wants to borrow my electrical adapter because she's going to Italy next week. These aren't that expensive - not sure why she just can't buy one - but whatever. Maybe they don't travel very much so she doesn't think she'll use one again. And as long as she gets it back to me before I head for Scotland, then whatever (this one converts to several systems - not just the EU's). I should probably get a bike ride in today, too, because today will be beautiful again - and they're calling for rain the next several days.

Today is my seven-year surgiversary! Unfortunately, I'm a bloated mess this morning (not sure what's going on), so my weight is up. Crap. But seven years. Hard to believe it's been that long. And hard to believe I was once as heavy as I was. I've gotten very used to my new life and body..

QOTD: lunges and squats. But I force myself to do them while I'm brushing my teeth (what else are you going to do for the two minutes the dentist tells you to brush for?).

B: I may just drink a protein shake since I'm feeling so bloated at the moment. Coffee with half & half.

MS: plain skyr with strawberry/rhubarb compote

L: cottage cheese with mandarin oranges (?)

AS: protein muffin

D: Caprese salad (again....)

this is me two years to the day after my surgery (6/3/2017). Although I loved being thin, I must admit I looked pretty awful. I hate the fact that I've gained weight since then, but honestly, I think I look a lot better now. Although I'd still love to lose about 10 lbs...

Happy surgiversary.

Cong rates on your success. You have done a great job.

Happy Surgiversary!!

Happy surgiversary!

Congratulations on the surgiversary! I love seeing successful people so far out from their primary surgery. You are an inspiration.

Happy Surgiversary!

Good Morning Jen and Menuers,

Love the Photos your flowers are awesome. That little girl resembles me as a child. LOL

The week went by quick but unfortunately I think the weekend will go quicker. I want to hit an estate sale in the morning then I got Mom duty and I have to be at a Baby shower by 1. Who knows what Sunday will bring but I am sure DH will throw a wrench in a get me to do something I'd rather not be doing. I'd prefer day drinking but that is not his thing.

QOTD: Anything with crunches and that wheel that you get on your knees and wheel out and back. So hard I hate it.

Accountability: I had a frozen Peanut butter and chocolate covered banana and 5 saltines and butter.

TSS: 4 years 5 months 23 days: 152.8LBS, (Lowest 129.4) Plan to be back in the mid to high 130's by July.

B: Coffee with SF WONKA WHIPPLESCRUMPTIOUS FUDGYCARAMEL CREAMER,

MS: Premier protein Chocolate peanut butter strawberries

CB: Coffee with SF WONKA WHIPPLESCRUMPTIOUS FUDGYCARAMEL CREAMER,

L: : Chicken Fajita no tortilla and snack select

D: onion swiss chicken and roasted cabbage leftovers or we may go out for a bite.

Exercise: My arm was hurting and it was a balmy 50° I stayed in bed.

Water and vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. sublingual B12 1x a week

Everybody Have a great weekend.

Brightest Blessings.

So I walk by this house and they planted these marigolds and stuck a no eyed gnome in the middle. It bothered me every morning as I walked by that he could not see me and he could not enjoy the flowers he was overseeing. OK so maybe I got a googly eye and gave him sight. It has been there for over a week. No I do not know this neighbor and they do not have a ring. So they either like it our have not noticed but now he can wink at me every morning.

And here is some rays of sunshine coming through the trees and fog this morning that I found beautiful.

I love what you did to the gnome!

You are too funny!
