PICTURE AW'ING AT NBC ... DR. OZ, EEYORE, ME ..WET IN THE BIG APPLE...

is this weight loss/weight maintenance related? you bet .... as I left home early this morning with my DD with tickets to the taping of Dr. Oz show at the Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan ... the show was about blasting our metabolism ...

Here we were up bright and early to take the MetroNorth train into the city ... stepped out of our door into the pouring rain and arrived in Manhattan in the pouring rain ...once we left Grand Central Station a gust of wind hit so hard I swear my big arsed Yale umbrella just picked me up and for a few seconds it felt like my feet left the ground .. WTH ...I was holding on for dear life as we walked as fast as the Big Apple crowd on a rainy day in the City ... from 42nd and Park the few blocks over to 49th and 5th Avenue....to Rockefeller Plaza and NBC Studios...

Picture me doing this 5 years and 8 months ago ... IMPOSSIBLE ... heck I could not even make it up a flight of stairs ... I would have been wheezing and experiencing SOB way before a half a block ... I would have had problems maneuvering from the train platform to the central station.....

... but check a sista out early this morning ... rain and all ...


I felt like a wet duck on arrival to the studio ... where we were screened first..and again... and again... AND AGAIN ...Security was enforced at each stage between registering.. getting ID'd... classified as apple or pear shaped etc etc..


here I go standing in line with others with my ticket to Dr. Oz show taping this morning....


Once we got off the elevator on the appropriate floor and meticulously scrutinized by security and our tickets and identities checked we were told to turn off all cell phones and NO PICTURES ALLOWED INSIDE WHILE TAPING ... and orders were obeyed by all ...

We learned several awesome things but will await for the show to air ... I will find out and post when this will be ... especially an awesome 5 minute workout that we all can do... it was an awesome show considering that I very seldom watch these shows.. my DD loves Dr. Oz ...

Now my DAWGS are TIRED ... we walked A LOT ... OMG we went up and down so many stairs and escalators as well as leaving and doing our own thing afterward my poor feet said 'woman enough is enough for one day' LOL ....

I am glad to be HOME SWEET HOME NOW .... relaxing and sharing snippets of my journey with my OH family .... another goofy thread in my life ... but I had AWESOME FUN ...EVEN ON A RAINY DAY IN THE CITY...

Oh I forgot about  EEYORE ... I LOVE THAT FELLA ... and when I am a bit apprehensive as to where I am going or what I am doing ... I love my Eeyore accessories ... and what better time than putting on my Eeyore shirt under my blazer...


Here is my empowerment collage this day ...BEFORE AND NOW...  keeping a total loss of 203 pounds off one day at a time, one choice at a time ... and living and loving and having fun ... despite all life challenges ... there is nothing that love and forgiveness cannot cure .... love is building bridges....




Thanks for allowing me to share...

 Oh, how fun!

 It was awesome fun... I crashed after posting... had a good workout with all the power walking in Manhattan too..in the rain even...

Sounds like a blast.  I Love the eeyore shirt.  You look amazing, and congrats on being able to keep up with the big city crowds in the rain.  I have not made it to that speed yet, but I will. Barb

Barb, you will get to that speed too... I have no doubt you will... I remember having this very thought when l would read others threads and say to myself I am not there yet..but I will.  I crashed after a hot bath...my feet were grateful LOL

That sounds like fun!. I'm trying to take a trip to NYC after the holiday decorations are up. I will have on somd comfy flat boots so I can walk in no pain.

 That sounds like an awesome plan... a trip to NYC is always fun...

Your transformation is amazing! You look incredible!

Thank you!!!
