Happy Dance caused by the scale reading this morning. I am in my "new decade". 13 more pounds to get to my next goal of the weight I remember still looking like myself. LOL! Suit coasts this weekend were definitely A LOT looser. One will need taking in fairly soon.

I have not yet read the article Liz linked in her post, but will ASAP.

This afternoon I teach the two classes I like the least during the week for the LAST TIME THIS YEAR! Halle - frickin'- lujah! I am tempted to throw on a cartoon music video, but of course, I won't.... But boy, it's tempting.

Not much else. I feel like I've been in a bit of a whirlwind this past week - NYC, then home, then off to another show, and now back into the groove for the week of teaching...

Oh, I lied.... I will go look at two mini vans this week.... When the bug bites, I always itch it!

Aren't those ten-spot drops so satisfying! Not to mention the looser clothing. So good. for. you.

Enjoy the car shopping.

Greetings all

It's sunny and windy. The new lawn service is scurrying about in the yard. Hate the sound but love the result. We warned them about all the dog holes. Cut grass smell is enjoyed by some people but for me it kicks up allergies. I was never allergic as a young person but boy has that changed. Can't survive without claritin.

Loving all the meds discussion. And the success discussion. Inching me bit by bit into action. I never do anything fast anymore except maybe eat. Yeah I think I am both brain and gut hungry and maybe in other ways too. But I still never eat like I did pre vsg and am grateful for that. I still have decent restriction and no regrets.

So DH went to jury duty today for awhile then came home. He and others answered questionnaires for a murder case. He has to go back at 2;15 for more review. No clue why the cut the time up. It is likely he will get on the jury because he is not standing on his head to escape it like most people and he has never worked as a dope grower like most people around here.

Kiln opens today and I will go by the studio. I think I have some owls waiting.

Steak last night was great. Asparagus tonight with remaining steak.

CC sorry your dad is sick again. Wishing him the best.

And hey I wish I were taller. 5'8"seems like a good height. I used to be 5'4" but am shrinking. Wish my width would shrink. I also wish I could sing and play the piano and break dance. Oh well.

I would think that could be an interesting jury to be on.

i used to stretch to 5'4" (I rounded up). Now I am a solid 5'3" and also probably shrinking. 5'8" always sounded good to me too.

Ill need to read that article you posted, Liz. I feel I have the hormone issue as my primary cause of obesity. But I definitely also have the head hunger, emotional eating at times. One thing I've never struggled with is binge eating. I think many of us are combo. One of the things I loved about my sleeve, and now the meds is I no longer need to fight a war on both fronts. Its so hard not to give into emotional eating when your gut/hormones are crying out with hunger. But if the hormonal drive to eat is calmed down, it's easier to deal with the head hunger.
