Either the day is going by too fast or I NEED EXTRA HOURS....

 Keeping it moving ... that is for sure ... 

I have one big mess going on at home .... downsizing belongings and have not put a dent in one closet yet...

I wake up this morning bright and early ... tackle it a bit .. then go off to run a 20K two towns over with a friend....

I came back home after the race .. tackled the task at hand for a bit while searching for a 'white' gown to wear to a fundraiser dinner and gala tonight to support a group of awesome women in a humanitarian cause ... the theme is white ..we are all to wear gowns ... so I think I found this white gown I had purchased and just hung up somewhere in there ... and while doing that I decided that Spring and Summer were at hand and I wanted a rest from the darker hair/extensions/lace fronts whatever my fancy at the moment for my head is ... so I wound up with this...

 

 

and of course because I journal in my digital empowerment journal A Picture a Day Keeps the Pounds and the Inches Away I also did a before and after collage...

 

And of course my nosiest and cutest ferret my baby Finibeau checked me out and I think I have his approval or so I think ...

 

After dinner we will come back home and meet up with our friends from our Oldies Keeping the Flame Going Group at a party celebrating one of the couples 30th anniversary party ... So I pulled this number out to slip into to go to the party...

 

No idea whether to wear hair up or down but right now I am about to do my nails ... crash for an hour and get a second wind .... I will tackle tomorrow when it gets here ... I love love love Spring ... will be enjoying what may be my last one here ... or next to last...
 

I am just having fun on the journey ... making lemonade with life's lemons and harvesting memories of help and kindness... Thanks for allowing me to share... ooops gotta do my nails ... my own self...

Thanks for allowing me to share snippets from my journey ... another goofy thread..  I had an awesome week ... and I wore some duds that I wore on my second year out ... everything is fitting perfect from lowest weight to maintenance weight ... 


   

  

You always look great. How tall are you?

 Thank you sis ... height is 5'5.5" and I don't think I own a pair of heels under 3" high LOL...

i agree you allways look great i look at your picture and think i can do this to. Can i ask how much exersize should i be getting in a day. been using the tread mill and weights on arms. im 13 days out . Loretta

 Thanks Loretta...OF COURSE YOU CAN DO THIS TOO!!!!

You are certainly doing awesome for 13 days out doing all of that ... it was several weeks over 3 months before I could get out of bed proper or even get on the treadmill thanks to a postoperative complication that landed me in back in the OR the day after surgery...

If I were you, I would certainly check with my surgeon or PCP as to the amount and frequency of exercising this early out  I am no expert in that department.. while exercise is great I won't overdo it..  

I have a dilemma. I am 5.5 and 129/130- depending on the day. Lol. My husband is starting to really complain I am too small. I'm not a yr post op yet and I don't want to stop the loss yet. He liked me better around 150 and that for me is too high. He likes a shapely woman w meat on her bones.

Did yo go through this? I don't know what to do.

 I say, stop when you are ready and he'll get use to it.  There's a good chance you'll have a 5-10 lb bounce back anyway.

Marty -looking good in that white number, va va va voom!

 Thank you SAM!!!! I am totally agreeing with you on your note to CrabAdams too...

I personally would remain where I feel best and would go as far as what is comfortable with me ... it is my body after all.  My DH knows that I am crazily creative (extremely so and have come up with some whoppers in the process too) and a total nutcase and with size and age I have not lost that 'girly girl' part of me even if I am an old fart now LOL.... DH is just totally encouraging and supportive and so is my entire family although the other day my family overseas expressed a bit of concern about my being a bit too small now.

I would just run with it if I were you keeping in mind that once weight loss stabilizes there can also be a few pounds bounce back ... I went as low as I could in order to maintain at this weight where I am comfortable and happy after bouncing back from my lowest weight.

Have fun with it! Wishing you nothing but the best on your journey....
