No rain here finally! Sorry you got soaked, that is not a fun way to start the work day.

I tend to wear solid dress pants and a solid shirt to work. Lately I have been adding in more patterns and brighter colors. I don't feel like the Kool-Aid man anymore when I wear something bright.

So just to pat myself on the back some....As of this morning I am at my lowest weight in 15 years!! And I weigh two pounds less than my husband.

3 1/2 months since surgery

B-premier chocolate shake (my last two days were alittle off the rails so went back to basics)

S-pear

L-chicken chunks with Hollandaise sauce

S-jello temptation

D-grocery shopping tonight so I have an Atkins frozen meal to try before we go. I cannot smell the bakery on an empty stomach

Nice! People keep telling me I look good at the weight I am, but in my mind I am like "What? I am a woman I need to be below 200" Nice to be less than your husband. Plus they are used to seeing me so big, this looks 'skinny' to them. LOL.

I actually had a co-worker tell me that I have lost enough weight and she was serious! I told my son that and he said she just didn't want me to get smaller than her. I mean, my God, I am still over 300 lbs... is she crazy???!!!

Highest weight - 440 lbs, Surgery weight - 395 lbs, Current weight - 291 lbs.

I really think after a while you just have to do what you know needs to be done, and ignore the comments. I think people mean well, its just difficult to see us looking so different. I don't even talk about the weight ive left to lose to people anymore, I just keep on doing what im doing and watch those lbs slipping off one at a time (although its slowing way down now), as long as they continue down, im happy!

I love your uniform. I add three new Black T-shirts to my collection this week and one white. I was at a vets charity event this weekend and got an event T-shirt and a Marines T-shirt both black, then I had ordered 2 T-shirts (which I forgot until they arrived so it was like Christmas) from a small webstore that I like the sayings on, One says "choose gratitude" the other says "choose joy" .... I ordered larges wish I got mediums.

My summer uniform whenever possible is a bathing suit with some kind of flowy dress thrown over it. I love summer. Having a pot luck dinner/pool Party/ladies meeting with the women from church at my house tonight. We do it every year, we call it the "Salad and Swim" We also usually have a church BBQ and baptism in my backyard every year...but the Pastor hasn't said anything and while I enjoy it, it is a lot of work. I may let it slide... last year I did it a couple of weeks after my surgery....had about 100 people in my backyard... it was crazy.

B: Tea, Strawberry White Chocolate cheesecake protein smoothie (Vanilla protein powder, almond milk, 1/4 cup ricotta or cottage cheese, 2 TBSP SF White chocolate syrup, a few frozen strawberries)

L: Chicken Salad, stir fry veggies

D: Potluck - making guac and salsa...with chips and maybe cuke slices so I have an alternative to chips, and going to make a gluten free, SF tart with fresh blueberries and peaches.

Skipping snacks, because I am sure there will be some snacking/grazing at the pot luck and healthy dessert.

E: Swim - my back is bothering me so no self-defense classes for nowVitamins: yes

Morning all! I work in a office where the dress code is casual. It drives me insane sometimes! When I first started I noticed the lady that was above me would wear jeans, tshirts and flip-flops. I despised that. Most of the time I wear dresses, but today I have finally joined the crowd and am sporting a t-shirt, jeans and flip-flops. I figured it was payday and plus I didnt want to have to shave my legs this am. LOL

B: Premier Protein Shake

S: Plain Greek Yogurt with squirt of davinci syrup

L: Ham and Beans (YUMMMM!!)

S: Jack Links Hot and Spicy Beef Jerky

D: Ham slice and grilled zuchinni and squash

Heres to a great day! Any other mothers out there counting down the days til school starts? 21 days, YAY!!
