Saturday - BOTT Cardio and Cafe

Hey all! What a gorgeous day, and I feel good, I feel like I LOOK good. Kinda dressed the part and am feeing that "LETS JAM" attitude rubbing off. That and get the house to myself and my cat tonight, DH is going off to do whatever he wants at his buddy's house.

Cardio - Lots of shopping and walking around

Food -

B - Left over pork chop and onions and mushrooms
L - Likely on the road, not sure yet
D - Chilli con carne at my fave resturant.
S - More of that. Mmmmmm.

Good for you Sionnaingeal!  The better you look and feel about yourself...the better your  WL progress and attitude!  It is a good day and I have to work 8a - 1:30p today, but I will be hitting the gym downstairs here when I get off.

Had a WOW moment this morning, stopped at the market on my way to work and ran into a relative that I hadn't seen in years.  Last time he saw me I weighed 270lbs.  When I walked up and started talking to him, I could tell he didn't know who in the hell I was. Then I started naming family members and things that had happened since we last saw each other, he wanted to know if we had dated way back when . I was truly enjoying the moment...when I kissed him on the cheek and told him who I was....I would have paid money to have a camera to take a picture of the expression on his face; and of course you know I was cute and hooked up in my black and white sweats.

He was FLOORED!  That really made my day, especially since a couple of weeks ago when I went to church and sat behind my Mother she didn't recognize  me either!  Her excuse...she's so use to seeing me heavy its going to take her awhile to get use to the new me.
Let's see how long has it been ...almost 3 years...okay!

What am I eating today?.....

EM - EAS Protein Shake w/ Decaf Hazelnut Coffee
B -    McDonald's 2 med hotcakes topped w/ fresh strawberries & LF whipped cream
         (fresh strawberries & wc from home)
         Sausage pattie
S -    4 sl turkey bacon
L -    Chef Salad w/ LF dressing (maybe)???
D -    Fish ????

 ***Hotcakes weren't as good as I remember them before I had WLS***

lol what a great moment, Dreamgirl! I love those moments. I have family members I haven't seen in a while and they still have trouble recognizing me. What's more? My mother has had RNY about 3 months ago. SHe looks fantastic... the funny part is I was shopping with her 2 weeks ago... and I TOTALLY lost her in the store. And yet she was like, 10 feet away from me. I stood there looking for her and looking for her, looking utterly lost. She saw me and asked me what was wrong and I busted out laughing and told her what happened. She loved it.

Have a great one!!

I can really relate since my daughter and I both have had surgery. We hang together alot and it is really fun to talk to people that we haven't seen for awhile. The best part is when people call me her sister. I love it ! See you lighter. Joanne

I saw an acquaintance in the grocery this morning - she did recognize me but commented on how tiny I was.  NICE!

The day is magnificent and the tourists are swarming   Had to make plan B to get home - thought I had grocery shopped long enough the crowd coming to the beach at noontime would be off the streets - well, since it was after 1:00 I guess the crowd that came at noontime was off the beach - I just hadn't calculated the crowd that would be coming at 1:00 LOL  But as you can see, I made it home just fine.

I've walked the grocery - every aisle at least once - and climbed 6 flights of stairs - I have this notion that I'm going to WiiFit this evening - will have to wait and see if it turns out to be reality or fantasy.  My excuse (I know it's not a reason) is that knitting an afghan as part of my granddaughter's wedding present and the wedding is August 1.  Now, in all seriousness, since they will be living in New Orleans it's highly unlikely they are going to be using an afghan in August!

I do promise at perfect BOTT food day and we'll see about additional exercise.

Hope everyone's having a great weekend.
