STOP shortening my weekend ..... talking to YOU Monday....

YIKES .... it is MONDAY .... ALREADY .... why must the weekend speed on by???? it seems like just yesterday morning I was squatting in my basement trying to keep my doggies away from the ferret's vites .... LOL ... they hate their vites but they LOVE the ferret's vites ... what gives????

I had an awesome time with my DD instructing at Wright Movez ... an awesome taster of Bokwa followed by Zumba .... I came home totally energized and had the urge to go to the house of praise and I am glad I did ... 

I pulled out my outfit that may have seemed totally inappropriate for church but hey ... He said 'come as you are' and I am doing just that ... so judge me not is my MO... and of course I took a picture of my labels ... because a weight loss of 203 pounds maintained at 6 years 2 months out is a daily celebration for me at least...  I took my XS jumpsuit and topped it with a suede Size 0 Ann Taylors jacket and made it totally 'churchy' in my book LOL ... and I wore my big heels and I danced and shouted and praised like I was wearing slippers on my feet .... these bad boys were COMFY!!!

I remember going to church before my WLS on 2/5/07 and receiving an awesome 'thank you for your generosity' plaque that was a total surprise ... and someone had taken my picture .... I am so glad for that picture of me then that I compare with me today in a collage .... BEFORE AND NOW...

I had such an awesome fun time in the house of praise ... a place that would always welcome me unconditionally ... when I got home I was soooooooooooooo blissfully exhausted I had no appetite for dinner ... but the body needs nourishment so I sat on my bed and enjoyed an awesome mug of steel oats with raisins and apples and added protein that my DH made ... I ate close to half of it and was totally satisfied and ready to relax the rest of the evening .... before I knew it I was out like a light the TV program that I decided to watch wound up watching me instead LOL...

and in the blink of an eye from Friday to YIKES ... HERE IT IS MONDAY AGAIN!!!!! why must you rush on in MONDAY??? you are shortening my weekend .... so I am off to work ... and writing another GOOFY thread ... in my digital empowerment journal 'A Picture a Day Keeps the Pounds and the Inches Away' a fun an goofy tool that I made up and it is working for me .... I have tracked it all ... my life that is ... pre.. post... during and now .... because I love pictures and pictures are awesome memories as well as a powerful empowerment tool that is working for ME... on MY JOURNEY....

BEFORE AND AFTER ... I AM ME .... FAT AND SLIM .... I will never forget ... we walk hands in hands .... her deliverance is my release and my release is her deliverance ... this is MY WALK away from morbid obesity ... one day at a time .. one choice at a time ... I am rocking it and having fun with it ... with health and mobility I have the quality of life that obesity related disease all in remission now tried to restrain....

Thanks for allowing me to share ... SNIPPETS OF MY JOURNEY...... "there is joy and there is misery in equal measures in this world ... I am embracing JOY and making it happen to me ... of course misery is there ... but I am NOT letting it in...."

I don't even know you, but when I see and read your posts, I think what an amazing women she is!

Thank you!!! I am more goofy than amazing though .... I am just determined to enjoy every moment of whatever time I have left on the planet ... YIKES ... I am getting old ... LOL but my joints and my body feel younger than ever .... I am so thankful for the benefits I derived from WLS .... I encourage all to research all available options and do what is best for them ... baring any out of control event/s just ROCK IT! I had an awesome sister from the BAF board revise to a DS just a week ago ... I am sooooo happy for her ... I am celebrating and rooting for her during her recovery ... it is all good... after all we are all brothers and sistas on the journey IMO ....
