Good morning everyone. I am up way too early. I am not a fan of daylight savings time. I woke up delusional and hot last night trying to figure out what time it would be if it wasn't daylight savings time. I finally just got up.
I put up my Christmas tree yesterday and I love it. I am sitting here in the dark with the lights on sipping my coffee and listening to my dog snore. The funny thing is, my husband came home from work and it didn't even phase him. That is one of the reasons that I love him so much. He just lets me be me.
JB- You look beautiful! I love looking at before and afters. I think it's a good reminder of how far we have come. The thing is, when I look at my old pictures, I just didn't realize how big I was. I am so thankful for my surgery. I just got to keep plugging along.
QOTD- I love Annie! That song will probably be in my head all day!
Food plan for today-
1 cup black coffee with miralax
2 eggs, 1/2 c. cottage cheese
3 oz cajun boars head turkey, 1 T. herbed cream cheese, 1 wasa multi grain cracker
grilled halibut or mahi mahi , broccoli

We'e decided that our 3 and half year old cats might finally be mature enough for a Christmas real tree! I am so excited to get it up, but I am going to wait until after TGiving, just in case they start going nuts on it which is a distinct possibility, lol.
