Mnday "Back to Basics" trials and tribulations

Hope every one had a great day! Might be a good time to talk about our trials and tribulations regarding the special celebrations we attended.
QOTD: How did your Thanksgiving day go?
My T-day had a 2 WOW moments which made it all the better.   As I was preparing to dress for the event, I decided to try on that pair of size 28's I saved, because they were the last pants I purchased prior to my surgery.  could fit both legs in on pant leg. Mental I have not accepted that the amount of weight I have lost has made such a big difference. But WOW. Then I realized that 132 Lbs. is a whole person. I have decide that when I reach my personal gaol, I am going to have a funeral for those to old friends. (Excess body weight) I have named them Blubber and Chubs!.   I did have a very nice T-day. Went to Zenders in Frankenmouth with the family. Later My 22 yr old daughter and her friends asked me to DD (designated Driver) them to a club on the east side called Emerald.  Since it was so far I just stayed at the club with them. Head banger music and all. So I took my camera (for which I am taking Photo classes) and got some neet pictures. I never would have thought I would go to a place like this and be all around the place. Up in the balcony to get good pictures, and up in the mosh pit to catch that close up shot of the lead singer. It was good practice for my class. But the real surprise is that 130+ lbs ago I would not have gotten off the couch. NOT bad for a Fifty-two year old lady!
And  my daughter and her friends thought I was a hero, too!   Hope you all had fun and happiness too!

Love those wow moments.

My Thanksgiving was quiet.  Myself, my boyfriend and my mom.  Made a turkey breast, green bean casserole, dressing, corn soufle' and sweet potato balls.  I did not eat very much but obviously too much.  I was uncomfortable the remaining of the day.  After going two weeks on low carb and then eating a lot of carb, I could feel it.  Needless to say, today it's a lite day for me. 

Mary - congrats on the WOW moments!  Those are the times that really make our WLS real - and our new lives so much easier!

My Thanksgiving was good - went to my sisters' and took my new BF.  Whole family was there.  Was a good time.  I ate more carbs than normal and have been paying for it too....

Time to get nback on track
