What's on your Monday Menu?

Hi all! Just checking in after a long hiatus (though I continue to post daily in the VSG Maintenance group). I have missed you all! I noticed that JB has been promoted to Queen, LOL. I have unfortunately regained about 20 pounds so it is time to do something about that! The last time I had regain was while DH was rapidly declining from Alzheimer's. This time is because I have been in love and going out to eat way too much. Portion control is never a problem due to WLS, but of course snacking and higher calories still are an issue at times.

Quick update: I was on Cape Cod from May to October of this year, living with Mike who I have now been dating for almost 1.5 years. We were in Florida from mid-October to mid-December. We just decided to get married (but haven't told anyone yet, so keep it quiet)! We will probably tell family and friends next week just before we leave for a month in Hawaii, followed by a month in Arizona, and then a month in the Florida Keys. Yes, we have been and will be busy. I think after the next 3 months of my dream vacation we will settle down to less travel. I am selling my Florida place to live at Mike's when we return from the Keys and at some point will decide what to do with my Cape Cod home where I live with him up here (he also has a home on Cape Cod but has had family staying there). Crazy life, but I am happy.

QOTD: Nope, no magic wands, though I did love Harry Potter books!

No menu as I need to start cutting down and planning better but we are going out to lunch, then there will be leftovers of some sort at home.

Congratulations, Liz!! Your winter sounds wonderful. No Florida for us this year, unfortunately.

That's too bad!

I am so happy for you and Mike. You have had such a wonderful and romantic year and a half. I think it is a form of magic that you two found each other. Congratulations to both of you.

Thank you!

So good to see you posting Liz...so good! Glad to hear your happy news! Congratulations you two kids!

Thanks from us "kids", LOL!

Liz!! I am so glad you're back! You pop into my mind a lot - now stay here this time! You have been missed!

I KNEW you guys would end up getting married! I check out your FB profile from time to time (since your posts don't always show up on my newsfeed) just to see if it's happened yet or not. I am SO happy for you!!

Thank you! I'm not sure how consistent I will be but will try to pop in on a regular basis.

Hi! I'm glad you're doing so well
