What's on your menu today (Wednesday) RNYers?
Thanks Kelly! To date, neither Jen nor Janet has contacted me to express their loathing of Burpees, the challenge nor me, so I feel like I am doing well.

Jen
Tell your wife I'm jealous she gets to have your daughter when she turns 21. Mine turns 21 at the end of May but because she has decided to stay in the city for summer for an internship we won't see her.
Happy early birthday!

Mornin' All!
well, that prednisone appears to be working. The rash along my surgical incisions seemed a lot better this morning. DH agreed. I'm supposed to call the surgeon's office tomorrow to let them know how it looks. If it's not a lot better than it was on Monday, I'm supposed to go back there to have the surgical tape removed. But it DOES look noticeably better this morning. Hope it continues to improve!
overall (with respect to the surgery), I'm doing well. I'm not in much pain at all. It's mostly just the swelling that's irritating. I felt like a balloon last night. I forgot how bad the swelling is the first month or two...yikes!!
the contractor for our screened porch is coming over later this morning to go over the specs and the contract. Then we're going to the credit union this afternoon to sign for the new home equity line of credit. Things are moving along!!
QOTD: Easter weekend I'm having a girls' weekend with a friend of mine from Milwaukee. We rented a cute room in an adorable B&B out in the country for the weekend. Can't wait to go - I think this will be great!!
Accountability has been great since surgery. Two more pounds of water weight gone this morning (I'm pretty sure I gained about 10 lbs in the hospital). Two more to go until I'm back to my pre-surgery weight.
3 years 10 months out (as of today):

L: rotisserie chicken with 2 T hummus in a Flat Out wrap
AS: L&F yogurt

ES: L&F yogurt
Ugh...swelling and IV water weight!
