3 THINGS FOR WEDNESDAY!

I'll tell you what I tell KB (and they ALMOST believe it) - I'm Tia, I know everything!!!  LOL!!  Not really.  If I did, I could tell you where MY Mr. Right is!!! Hmmmmmm.......I did the very same thing last week - put my foot RIGHT in my mouth!!!  On the first try, too!!!  Look, you apologized, it's up to him to accept it.  JFC, Karen, it's not like you comitted murder or anything!!!   Now I'm going to kick your butt about the alcohol!!!  I'm not being judgement except in a wls way.  Do you KNOW what a big disservice you're doing yourself by drinking?  You're not even a year out yet and you're getting drunk.  EMPTY, EMPTY, EMPTY CALORIES.  I took my first drink of a 'rita at 10 mos out and don't remember the next two hours.  All I remember is telling my g/f, "Lis, I can't feel my teeth!!!!"  When I drink, obviously it lowers your inhibtions, and if they're low to begin with, like so many losers, it can be dangerous - fun, but dangerous.  I find that I also tend to eat while I'm drinking, and eat crap, too!!!!!!  BAD TIA!!!!  So I just don't.  Even a half a glass of wine knocks me on my butt!!!!  Not to mention the saying/doing things you'll regret later!!! Again, I'm speaking strictly from a wls point of view - cut it out with the alcohol.  You didn't have this surgery to trash your body this way.  I hope you're not mad at me - I mean it with the best of intentions!!!! As for the capris and sandals - he said casual and the right accessories can jazz up any outfit.  Hell, if you're brave enough, add a straw hat!!  It IS the Preakness after all!!! Hugs, Tia

Thanks hon - I know you are right about the alcohol.  Maybe I should get new friends too.  Seems I am around it all the time.  After surgery I was able to go out and just drink water.  I need to go back to that.  It was about 6 months out that I had my first glass of wine.  You're right the calories are empty.  On Saturday, at the Kenny Chesney concert, I did really well around it.  I drank the vodka water that Kristen suggested and it worked out great.  Only 3% and the base is water instead of wine.  I never felt the effects as I do with wine.  I actually lost 2 lbs that day!  I also danced my butt off, I guess that helped.  I'll do better.  Only 15 lbs from goal and I want to get there by Sept.  I'll do it!

1.  being able to do my walk and my pulse doesn't go above 130 :) 2.  my morning BM 3.  friends and family who continue to support me :)

hi y'all. i haven't been posting as much but i wanted to post today. i really need to get some work done. dangit! 1. that i have enough money to start doing my home improvements. 2. that i have family living all throughout florida and i'll be visiting them for july 4th weekend 3. that it's almost the weekend. i need a break. i don't work hard but it sure feels like i do.

My three things? (1)  My surgery is only 26 days away, and I can't wait.  All the steps taken so far is now coming together. (2)  I've got the greatest husband and son (2.5 years old) in the world.  Damn, I can't believe how lucky I am to have them in my life. (3)  The great walk that we took through the neighborhood last night.  The sky was pretty - hinging on sunset -, the air smelled sweet from all the blooming flowers, the air was chilled - perfect for a light sweater -, great conversation with husband, step-daughter, her husband, and watching their son and our son ride their tri-cycles through the neighborhood.  It was a perfect night.
