My 'Bucket List' is complete

Mar 28, 2011

On Saturday, we got a pizza from this pizzeria in doylestown, PA, which happens to be the best pizza I have ever put in my mouth. And then yesterday, I made a Red Velvet cake from scratch, and tonight, my entire family went to golden corral for dinner. So as of tonight, my bucket list is complete, and I start my pre-op liquid diet on Wednesday, for my surgery next Monday. We've been home for at least 2 hours, and I am still stuffed! But you know what??? I'm completey done. I will never be this weight again, and I will never be this unhealthy again. So in actuality, I can say that Wednesday will actually be the first day of the rest of my life. When I graduated high school, I gave one of the graduation speeches, and the title of my speech was "Today is the first day of the rest of our lives". I didn't know then, how prophetic that speech would be, some 34 years later. Wednesday will not only be the first day of the rest of my life, but Wednesday, I start LIVING!! Wednesday will mark the day that I take that first step towards my new life. April 4th will be my new 'birthday'.

Pizza from my favorite pizzeria: 12.76
Dinner with the family at an all u can eat buffet: 62.22
Knowing that I'll be able to ride bikes with my grandkids this summer: ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS!!
