Hello 

What are your plans for the coming week?

I've just dropped my daughter at Brownie camp - she's going to be canoeing, shooting, archerying(!!!???), and probably having midnight feasts on sugar sugar and more sugar from all the candi they all take with them!!  I pity the leaders.

Tomorrow I'm selling bags and jewelry at a fair trade market, praying for fine weather!, peace and quiet Sunday before collecting daughter and having a ton of unpacking and laundry to do.

Work on Monday - extremely busy, but it keeps me out of trouble I suppose.  Not too happy about the quantity though - planning on having a meeting with my manager to sort it out.  Taking my daughter to the opthamology clinic on Thursday.

Plus all the other usual errands and chores we all fit into our lives  

Hope your week is more exciting than mine - come on cheer me up with the details....

4. shock and awe that I can consume two glazed raised donuts with no effect whatsoever, but 3 tablespoons of cream of wheat send me into a death spiral.


What is it with that???????  It's so darn annoying and totally against everything I thought would happen after wls.  Sigh..............

oh yeh, I love being able to slide along into that booth, with room to spare between me and the table too LOL

1. never leaving the house without a protein bar to keep from having my blood sugar drop to 47 again
2. knowing that it takes 2 cheese sticks to bring my blood sugar from 151 back to 100 in less than 4 minutes
3. discoverying that corn and my pouch = Moonshine (a fermented corn ma**** contains not less than 80% corn and is distilled to 10 proof, or 80% alcohol.) same thing with cauliflower and peaches.
4. shock and awe that I can consume two glazed raised donuts with no effect whatsoever, but 3 tablespoons of cream of wheat send me into a death spiral.
5. noting that I cut my hair in 2006 to shoulder length and it has not grown since.
6. realizing that my bumpy thumb nails are an indicator of my iron defenciency.
7. sucking down coffee like a caffiene addict avoiding a hang over by never sobering up. ;-)
8. LOVE the towel, even tiny Motel 6 ones that reach all the way around
9. Love all the room in an airplane seat.
10. it has been so long since wls, that no one remembers, including my dh, what I looked like, and now the fat ladies at school, give me the EVIL eye and I know it is because I am a size 4 and they are a size 32. 

I do not have more energy, I am still as active as before, but I look pretty damn good. ;) how people treat me in my industry is 180 and THAT is important, we do live in a superficial world and so I am extremely glad that I made the change.
