Mornin' All!

I have to take my mother to a doctor's appt later this morning - then I'm meeting up with a former co-worker who wants to borrow my electrical adapter because she's going to Italy next week. These aren't that expensive - not sure why she just can't buy one - but whatever. Maybe they don't travel very much so she doesn't think she'll use one again. And as long as she gets it back to me before I head for Scotland, then whatever (this one converts to several systems - not just the EU's). I should probably get a bike ride in today, too, because today will be beautiful again - and they're calling for rain the next several days.

Today is my seven-year surgiversary! Unfortunately, I'm a bloated mess this morning (not sure what's going on), so my weight is up. Crap. But seven years. Hard to believe it's been that long. And hard to believe I was once as heavy as I was. I've gotten very used to my new life and body..

QOTD: lunges and squats. But I force myself to do them while I'm brushing my teeth (what else are you going to do for the two minutes the dentist tells you to brush for?).

B: I may just drink a protein shake since I'm feeling so bloated at the moment. Coffee with half & half.

MS: plain skyr with strawberry/rhubarb compote

L: cottage cheese with mandarin oranges (?)

AS: protein muffin

D: Caprese salad (again....)

this is me two years to the day after my surgery (6/3/2017). Although I loved being thin, I must admit I looked pretty awful. I hate the fact that I've gained weight since then, but honestly, I think I look a lot better now. Although I'd still love to lose about 10 lbs...

Accountability: I had a frozen Peanut butter and chocolate covered banana and 5 saltines and butter.

TSS: 4 years 5 months 23 days: 152.8LBS, (Lowest 129.4) Plan to be back in the mid to high 130's by July.

MS: Premier protein Chocolate peanut butter strawberries

CB: Coffee with SF WONKA WHIPPLESCRUMPTIOUS FUDGYCARAMEL CREAMER,

Everybody Have a great weekend.

Brightest Blessings.

So I walk by this house and they planted these marigolds and stuck a no eyed gnome in the middle. It bothered me every morning as I walked by that he could not see me and he could not enjoy the flowers he was overseeing. OK so maybe I got a googly eye and gave him sight. It has been there for over a week. No I do not know this neighbor and they do not have a ring. So they either like it our have not noticed but now he can wink at me every morning.
