3 THINGS FOR TUESDAY

Good morning!!!  The sun is singing, the birds are shining....and I, well, I have the biggest grin on my face because.......

1.  I had my first "official" date with George last night.  He had to work late, so I raced up to Harford County (23 minutes from Essex to Riverside Nascar fans!!!) to meet him and we shared a pizza (he didn't initially grasp that I couldn't/wouldn't eat pizza, wings AND salad!!! lol), and were able to sit and talk for about an hour and a half until he had to go back to work.  He is just the NICEST guy.....and yes, the butterflies, they are a-flutterin'!!

2.  Today is Darla's bday and we'll be celebrating with her.  Can't wait!!!

3.  Coupons!!!  I have a coupon for a free slice of Cheesecake Factory Pumpkin Cheesecake - 1 slice ought to be MORE than enough for the 3 of us!!!  Gotta love free!!!

4.  My Dad - He knew a friend of mine was in need of some things, so he got them, transported them and unloaded them.  Even though he makes me NUTS a lot of times, he is a decent, kind, caring man.  I'm a lucky girl!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Whew its been a long time since I've replied on this thread! 

Today I'm grateful for -

1. being able to survive liquids AGAIN

2. that some of my foster babies are going to their furrever homes this week

3. that my size 22 pants are baggy - whoot whoot.

Have a good one everyone! 

Hi Nikki!

I'm so glad to hear that you're doing okay - or at least better.  Sometimes, it just takes a while to get into a groove. 

I admire you for fostering - I couldn't - I'd want to keep them all!!!!  LOL!!

Keep up the good work!  Those 22's will be falling off of you soon!!

Hugs,

Tia

yes Tia I am a trooper so I've been managing.   I always say it's a learning process for me daily but I'm not bitter or questioning my band anymore.  Without it I would not have been able to lose 40lbs in less than 12 weeks.  Now it's me working on my behavior and my own do's and don'ts.  The week was just a monkey wrench with the sinus meds.  I know better next time what to do and I was fine taking my pill in the afternoon.

I am so ready to my but in to my 20's.  My family has 14's and 16's waiting for me so that something to look forward to! 

Trust me, "buyer's remorse" is perfectly normal - although it hits some harder than others. 

40 pounds in less than 3 months!!!!  HOLY CANNOLI!!!  With s/f cannoli filling of course!!!  LOL!!

Just hang in there and take it day by day!  We're here for you!

Hugs,

Tia

A date!  A real date!!  Whoooo HOOOOOO! 

Happy birthday Darla!  Happy happy happy day, and what a beautiful day for a birthday!

Today is my one week follow up, and I finally feel "normal"...LOL.  I got a good night sleep last night!  Finally!

Here are mine:

1.  I'm greatful for everything I have and everything I have been blessed with.

2.  I'm thankful that I'm able to get out and enjoy my surroundings.  Just look at these pictures from this morning!

I just love living 10 minutes from this!

3.  I get to start mushies today!  Oh, I'm thinking a lovely bit of refried beans for dinner - yum!

4.  My family and friends who have stood by me through this - this week has been rough, but I made it through and I'm feeling great!

Hey honey!!!

I'm so glad you had a good night!  I'll be anxiously awaiting your follow-up results!

Yes, a date, a real date.  I swear on my life I've never driven 95N so fast!!!!  LOL!!!

Those pics, especially the lighthouse are GORGEOUS!!!!  Are they in Havre de Grace?  I did tell you that's where George is moving, right?  He's still on track for December 1, and since I hope to be spending some time up there, I'll be closer to YOU!!!  Yay!!!  But we'll get together before then!

Hang in there!!!  Did you ever think you'd be rejoicing over refried beans???  LOL!!!  Enjoy them!

Hey girlie!  Yes - they were taken in Havre de Grace!  It's a 10 minute drive from here and just a gorgeous place to walk!  I'm glad to hear that George is moving so close to me!  Yay!  We can get out and cause panic together!  And you and George are more than welcome to join us for our monthly couple movie nights here! 

And I know...I'm so looking forward to a spoonful of refries!  MMMM...I can taste them now!

Let you know about my follow up this afternoon!

LY!
