Stuff You Might be Up To When You Feel Great (Pics)

First of all, one of the many obvious things you might feel up to do after you feel great about your bodies is take pics... lots of them!  We go from hiding behind friends on group pics to "hey, ME, ME, ME, take my pic, NOW". 

In addition to loving the camera, I find myself loving to do more challenging (physically and emotionally) fun activities.

---- Here is a question and request for YOU:  WHAT awesome things have you done post op?  Post PICS if you have them.  I know we have some super athletes and daredevils around!  Come on, babesssssss, share!  I need new ideas!

The first pics I took at a street festival we have here in Baltimore called HONFEST, where women dress tacky outfits with lepard print, wear beehives, heavy makeup (blue shadows and pink lipstick, please) and walk around like divas. It's sort of inspired in that movie "Pink Flamingos". Some of my LW FB babes probably have seen this already, but I'm sharing with my other LW babes for a laugh.

The last pics are me and DH in Cancún doing some underwater explorer.  For someone who used to go to the beach absolutely covered up and not even get close to the water, this is a major improvement.

I'm having a great day on my high heels today. WOO HOO!






      


 

Fabulous pictures Lia!  I have to think about this one... not sure what I've done, if anything...

Well - ok, one thing I can think of is I ran a 5K called the "Jingle Bell Fun Run" last December.  I've never ran a 5K let alone in the SNOW.  It was snowing big fluffy flakes on us, the road was snow covered just enough so you didn't slip and slide, it was almost like running through sand at times - and I DID IT!! We had little jingle bells tied to our shoes and you could hear all the jingles as you ran.  It was a beautiful (night) - with all the Christmas lights out on the houses as we ran by. 

What was a good motivator to keep running was, when I went down to a walk, I got cold!!  Running kept me warm!

It was a family event and it was great seeing the kids out there too - even in strollers as the parents jogged with them. 

 

Jodi, babeeeeeeeee. I can just picture you running in the snow with jingles going one... just adorable!

What about your wild side as a biker on hot leather pants, babeeeeeee? Did you bike pre-op?

Oh yea - I biked pre-op!  Just didn't look as good doing it as I do now .  And buying new biker leathers - OH YEA - fun stuff there!

BUT - Pre-op I couldn't fit into leather pants - now my chaps look VERY GOOD on me! 

(Hey - if you can't compliment yourself, then who can?) 

Just wanted to say you look great!!!

Haven't done anything I wouldn't have done before.  Just enjoying it more.

Come on Lin, babeeeeee. There must have been something new you've done post op, if not... You must start your "skinny list", babeeeeeeee.

I still need to ride a horsey!

Awesome pictures!  You look so GREAT!!!

I rode a horse last fall at our family reunion.   My nephew lifted me off and on it...LOL  That definitely wouldn't have been possible the year before that!

Roz babeeeeeee, riding a horse is totally on my list of cool things yet to do.

Now, the lifting part... I might just get DH to carry me around the house.

Look at YOU Lia! Beautiful! Love the Pink Flamingos inspiration!

Ya know....I tried to duplicate your hat and hands to your face that I loved that you did....but I can't pull it off like you did. But I will definatley share some pics!

Last April 09, I went to see one of my favorite bands. I got a picture with one of the singers who also is actress Missi Pyle. I also went last weekend and got another one...so I have actual before and after shots with Missi Pyle! I love ti!
