VSG Maintenance Group
Thursday May 18
Weight 115, calories 804. Internal plumbing cleared out finally. Seems to be a multi-day cycle.
I'm tired! Drove to Boston for DH Pet scan yesterday and had a 2 hour drive home in late afternoon traffic. Back to Boston again today for work. Luckily tomorrow is one of my short days this week.
Have a good day all!

First, positive thoughts and energy to you, Joey ! Paula, great graduation news ! Linda, great to hear from you and BB, so great to have you back regularly. Everyone is coming into their stride and I have to think being outside in the sun helps.
Three milestones for me... my two year post VSG check up is next Wednesday, I am completing the paperwork for the National Weight Loss Registry, AND... wait for it... while I was walking my grand nephew in his stroller yesterday, I was asked how I could look so good and fit after having a baby. Really !? ??
Loving my life !! Bottling the feeling for future reactivation ! We are allowed to do that !!

Oh my goodness Diane! That was some compliment!
I was slightly dissapointed when I didn't get "carded" out at the bars last weekend with my girlfriends. I did however get flirted with by a man 10 years my junior (he and his twin did some modeling in LA) who thought I was a stylist and thought I was younger then he was! He then noticed my wedding ring, asked what my husband did for a living (I have a pretty nice ring) and then left! Lol!

Weight the same. I did track calories and they were 1,545. Not bad and yesterday pretty much reflected how I usually eat. Not low enough if I intend to lose some of this gain
Walked at lunch so got in over 10,000 steps for the day which was good. Still need to ramp up my exercise more with higher intensity exercise. Need to add back in some boot camp, yoga and step aerobics!

Good morning!
No weight this morning....I am still in my night-wraps.
Great-fun compliment, DianeO!!!! Tho not as lofty, DD told me the other day that her friends think it is funny that we get our clothes mixed up. One (just one) of the things I hated pre-VSG was being an embarrassment to DD.
Speaking of DD, she is going to Disneyland for with the orchestra on Friday and doesn't return until Monday night. There will be extra space this weekend....not as many errands, fewer meals and less emotion. I'll miss her, for sure, as well. But I think we can all use a break.
6.5 mile hike yesterday. Almost no one else out there. No yoga for a couple of days and my body misses it but nature provides its own meditation. Joey, hope you find some internal peace, esp since your external world is so crazy. And, what do you think....do you see any biters behind those trees? (Walking Dead reference for those who wonder....) Hug your skinny tight. Shel

The stress got to me yesterday and I splurged! Big time! I was going to splurge by purchasing a Groupon deal for one-day at WalkerStalkerCon but after discussing which day with my son, he suggested that we buy the one for both days. He pointed out that it is close enough that we would not need a hotel, it was a better deal and we don't want to miss anything. This is why I am poor. But $66 each for 2 days with most of our favorites from the show... priceless!
It made it easier to hide my stress from my son. Despite what my ex-husband thinks, I would love for him to have a relationship with his son one day and if my son sees my emotions, he would hold it against his father.
Oops, almost forgot, back down to 206.6, but still too high. Onward
