I'm happy with the flat stomach. But everywhere else has the gnarly scars. I have always thought I was a good healer, but that was beyond my body's capabilities! One day maybe I'll get those fixed, but I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try my upper half.
The way I describe my sagginess is that I look like a melted candle. Your surgery recovery was so rough, but I hope you can enjoy the outcome now. I would really like to get rid of my apron, but I'm also scared. I'm a slow but solid recoverer. I worry I wouldn't bounce back very fast. And a panniculectomy would be a much less intensive surgery than you experienced.
Beautiful date night setting Liz! I love a vibrant sea breeze for cooling. Breezes are alive, air conditioning (which I absolutely concede is necessary at times) is dead air, devoid of life.
I'm waiting for my brunch to digest a bit, and then I will go work out. We were going to have BFF over for dinner last night, but then her grandson's birthday party invite came up, so we did that instead. So today's plan is to make a nice dinner for DH and myself. We bought veggies at the farmer's market that we need to eat.
Today was supposed to be a heat advisory. It rained in the morning, and will most likely rain this evening. Not hot, or even very sunny, although it's trying to peek through a bit.
Bird watching on the porch this morning was delightful. The birds were stopping by to sip from the bird baths and 2 robins plunged in for their morning baths. I saw a cardinal, woodpecker, robins, yellow finches and house finches.
Are you able to eat fats, or did your pancreas surgery make that a no go? The French eat cheese and fruit for dessert, I'm just saying. And I think we all know how I feel about bacon.
I love the visual!

Wow! That weight is just falling off you! What are your plans for maintaining?

143.6 (no doubt a result of moving Heckle and Jeckle all over living creation) I have no desire to go under 140 which is not a bit attractive on me. I wish I could say, like Ann, " more desserts are in order", but then there is that sugar and white carbs problem. There is a reason why I don't drink anymore and the same thing goes with the above. Different demon screaming the same message....
Liz, the view from the restaurant is to be found nowhere around here, and for sure, if it was, the restaurant would be booked up for decades no matter what the quality of the menu.
Another busy day...hoping to get more stuff over to the new house. Goal for here is to open space and depersonalize, while at the same time leaving enough to maintain the craftsman "vibe". Personally, even though it is good advice, I think the realtor who suggested this ought to be over here helping me do just that.
While I don't have ****ly's cleaning bug, I guess it's time to get after it and have me a sedulous Saturday.
Still 11 pounds down! With as much as I am sweating today I may make my 12 lbs. in my first month! I worked our church garden this morning and then DH and loaded up the cars with art fair stuff. Will have to set up tent and hang pictures later afternoon, early evening. It is hot and humid here and will be even more so tomorrow! That's WI for you!
We had our date night last night too. I got tuna guacamole which is just guac with chopped raw tuna on top (put together with a mold) and then soy sauce over the whole thing. They serve it with sweet potato chips and you just scoop it up with the chips and eat! Super yummy! We won't get done setting up for the art fair until 6 or 7 so it will be Jimmy John's on the way home. A little John was the perfect size for me before starting the meds. We'll see if I can eat it all now. Probably can.
Hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

lol about the boob conversations! If I remember right Peps enjoyed the boob conversations when Shel was here. She had a double mastectomy and needed to buy new boobs for her swim suit. Pep's got a kick out of going out and buying boobs!
