A Mini Update

I was going to put all of this in a post on Chyssie's thread and then realized how selfish that would be of me. *cough* I know, I AM selfish .. but .. here's a mini update. I was telling Chyssie I am not a fan of food. I hate to chew, I hate to eat. I actually feel nauseous if I chew for too long, I don't wanna swallow. So this KICK @$$ post-op turned me on to "Real Meals". Excellent source of protein and doesn't taste bad, at all. So I tend to do two shakes a day and then just munch on cubes of chicken and cheese during the day. I am down 48 pounds, almost "overweight". I just bought a bathingsuit today for my weekend get-away to Wildwood (wanna come?) and a new DIGITAL CAMERA! I already have a digital that is attached to my Sony Handycam (I really dig electronics and I like to spend money) but the quality of pics is really quite crappy (less than 1 megapixel). So I just went and bought a Canon Powershot S1 -- it's 3.2 MPs and really kicks some tail. Totally into it. You all will get sick of seeing my pics soon! But it's nice and small so I can bring it on radio appearances and in the shower and whatnot. Da specs: http://web.canon.jp/Imaging/pss1is/firmware-e.html I am still working insane hours. People are donating time in their day to me for extra sleep. How sweet, if only it was truly possible. But I get about 5-6 hours of sleep in the evening. I'm ready to roll. I'm a maniac (maniac on the floor) at the gym. I go JUST ABOUT every weekday and spend 2 hours there. I run and walk on the treadmill for 2 miles, then this stepper thinger that kinda scares me for 20 minutes and then I use the machines to target body parts. I've got the "Mrs. World" vision quest right now. (Plus, a lotta hot guys at the gym at 5 am .. must impress .. must .. keep .. pushing). That's it for now. Expect some pics of my weekend when I get back. I hope everyone has a great weekend! If ya wanna get away to Wildwood call Star 99.9 tonight! hahaha Lots of good lovin, Tara

Tara - LOVE the update!! And your honesty is just so adorable and refreshing! And you work out at 5:00 a.m.? Oh, my God. You ARE the Godess......I'm still dreaming that early! Have fun on your trip!!

How SWEET you are to post that! . o O (adorable and refreshing - it's like a summer breeze) Yes ma'am - I leave Star at about 4:50 and hit the gym. I am usually there for 5 in da morn. A Goddess? Hrmm, I tell myself that every day (self-motivation .. work the inner chi). I'm dreaming that early too .. while I am focusing on the guys pumpin iron! WAHOO DAWGIE! I mean, c'mon - ya think I LIKE to work myself to the point of feeling like I need hip replacement surgery? Ooo noo, my friend! Thanks for the reply! Tara

Wow Tara! What an inspiration you are! I hope I have a quarter of your energy after my surgery. Thanks for the posting I feel very encouraged. Sandy

Thank you Sandy! If you've lost your mind, as I have, you will be filled with energy! It's that nature adrenaline that pumps through your veins. Be encouraged - Be pumped - This is the best high of my life! Tara

Hey Girl You keep rockin and make Dr. Tran, Laurie and all of us proud. Great update. Luis

Hey Luis Honey! I wonder if Dr. Tran (my future husband) reads these posts? Okay, I am just kidding on the future husband thing .. (or am I?) Thanks for the reply .. YOU are one of my inspirations (didja know that?)! Tara

Hi Tara Future husband, you will have to fight me for him first. LOL. He is the best. Thanks on the inspiration part, I just do as I am told and all else falls into place. Luis

You kick butt girl!! I wish I had less interest in food!! LOL I'm going down to the Jersey Shore this weekend too. I bought a bathing suit from (drum roll please ......) Victoria's Secret!! It's low-cut & really pretty and it's a 12 (with D cups, natch). I'm very excited to wear it! Keep up the amazing work. You're going to be where you want in no time flat! XO Kathy F.
