Five for Friday

Good Morning

There was hard frost on my windshield today.  Do you think I could find the ice scraper??  No.  It is always in my truck.  I never allow it out of there, even in the summer it stays in.  Not sure where it could have gone.  It is a nice long one and I paid good money for it.  My kids think I am nuts because I keep it in there all the time.

Five things that I have done.

1)  I can bend over and tie my shoe.  I love that, it has been a long time.
2)  I walk more on the treadmill. 
3)  I experiment more when I cook.  So now I think I am a better cook.
4)  I look forward to shopping for clothes.
5)  I think about dating.  Not sure if I will but I miss not having a mate.

Have a great day!!!

Goodmorning!
Well, this morning I had water and some hot tea with honey.  I had to use my scraper this morning too, my door didn't even want to open!
Since I am still pre-op, there are far more more 5 things I want to accomplish, but here are the top few:
1. Feel comfortable going to my friend's work gatherings....I always feel like people judge him for bringing me. 
2. Wear a size that doesn't have an "X" in front of it.
3. Join a coed softball league...to be active and meet a guy. :) 
4. Stand in front of a mirror again...I avoid them like the plague. 
5. Get off my asthma meds....I can't wait to take a full deep breath and not cough up a lung. 

Happy Friday everyone!

Hey all,

Finished my protein shake...on to iced tea in a moment. 

It's going to be 60 this weekend wohoooooo!!!!  Go out and enjoy it!

FFF

1.  I can do stairs w/o thinking about it

2.  I can paint my toe nails !

3.  When I look in the mirror I smile now :)

4.  I feel like I have more control over my food choices

5.  Shopping is fun, fun, fun!!!

Have a great weekend all,

Edie

 Just a regular coffee with milk morning for me.

QOTD:  (I like this one because I keep a list to keep my motivated through this process)

1.  Compete in the Adult Figure Skating National Championship (there are several different levels), which would include landing an axel again.

2.  Wear heels again..I used to wear them everywhere but as I've gained weight they have gotten too uncomfortable a lot to the time.

3.  Fit into my tub o' clothes, it's all these fabulous old clothes and I can't wait to wear them.

4.  Enjoy shopping again, I used to love it(maybe even too much), but it's not the same when you can't wear the clothes.

5.  I also can't wait to meet someone who either doesn't or almost doesn't recognize me because I've lost so much weight. 

Good Almost Afternoon,
                                     I am having a slow moving day today.  Had my first 24 ounces of water.  I think today will be a do nothing day. FFF:

1. I enjoy to exercise
2. Jeans that buton and zip
3. I can cross my legs
4. I don't mind my picture being taken
5. I can walk and even jog without getting out if breath

Have a great day the sun is shining I hope it isn't that cold.

Good morning everybody.
My DH came in form OH at about 4 am and we went to breakfast at our favorite restaurant. Oatmeal thinned with milk for me. I had some lemonade protein drink before we left to go.

Our usual waitress was surprised to see me out since I just had my surgery. I told her i was surprised too. but the surgery went well and I was doing really good. she laughs at the amount of oatmeal i actually ate. I took the rest home and stuck it in a zip lock bag that way i can heat it with some warm water for a new meal. she said I am sorry that you can't eat very much. I gave her a funny look and said I am not, that was the whole point of the surgery. Then we both laughed. I did explain that the amount of food will change in about 6 months. and by the end of a yr. I will be up to about 1200 calories. Hubby offered to drink the glass of milk I got to dilute my cereal and i was glad cause I didn't want to take 6 oz of milk home with me.


Actually my changes began before my surgery. so my biggest change was my mind and how I think about things.

For Friday:
List five things you have done
food logging,joined a gym, drinking water, taking vitamins, and using my scale.
achieved down 60 lbs, ware jean again and down one jean size, had WLS. joined OH.
accumulated,vitamin bottles, little one once cups, measuring spoons, tiny storage containers,big shirts.
changed my hair, where I eat out at, no fast food, the quantity of food I eat, the amount of protein I eat.

Took Gary to the hospital for outpatient surgery on his feet this morning.  Stopped at Kroger on the way home to get his Rx and then got him settled at son's house on the couch with his feet propped higher than his head with ice.  He took a vicodin and is snoring right now.  I hope this surgery relieves his pain.  He's got the remote control so we've watched Jerry Springer and right now Maury Povich.  If I can pry the remote out of his hand I'll change the channel.
The 5 for Friday:  Changes
1.  Cut my hair.
2.  I take more pride in the way I look, makeup, clothing, posture...
3.  Shop in the Misses section rather than the Womens or Full Figure, Plus size.
4.  More stamina for exercise, walking, generally being.  I don't need naps now.
5.  It's so cool to be able to cross my legs and they stay crossed, and to tie my
     shoes by bending over, and to get up off of the floor without crawling over to
      the couch for help.

Life is wonderful these days.
