LEE!!

I turned more mature yesterday!!  That's why you N me are like pods, because I nearly share a birthday with your beloved boy!!

I did Atkins many years ago and lost alot of weight, the last 6 years I had back surgiers and had my thyroid removed and lost my beautiful body to become 260 lbs. tried N/S and back to WW but nothing really helped me get off enough weight. I was banded 6 wks ago today and have lost 20 lbs. so far but I feel like I really have to watch my carbs closely or I will slow down my weight lost. I really like the fact that there are receipes here to follow. I started to regain my motivation back a little since losing some weight.  I hope I can continue to lose with the band and not struggle like I did with everything else..High protein is good for me especially since I'm older and need it.

Time to post my food.  I'm starting a 10 month class tonight called Awakening Joy so need to eat early and scaddadle out of here.  I'm going to go hang out with all the happy Berkeley people and add more happiness and joy to my disposition.

here's my food but not in the order of meals

6 oz salmon filet
1 baby carrot
1/4 cup red bell pepper
2 slices cucumber
2 T tuna salad
1 fresh vietnamese spring roll w/rice paper wrapper
bacon
2 cherry tomatoes
1 T heavy cream

I hope I don't need a snack when I get home at 10pm.

I just wanna say that my baby turned 37 today.  He's in Italy on a film shoot but I got to google chat with him this morning, just cause he knew I'd want to talk to him.  I said, It's your dang birthday, so how come I feel older?   Truth is that part of the reason I had this surgery is that I'm single with 1 son and don't want to ever be a burden to him.  We do great things like hike the Great Wall, kayak, snorkle in Thailand, hike in Japan, swim in the Mediterranean on the Cote de Azur.  I want that active life that I dreamed of for a long time and it's all coming true.  So here's to feeling fabulous at 60 and who the heck cares about wrinkles!   OK, so I do. 

I've switched from unsweeted soymilk to unsweetened almond breeze.  I've been a vegetarian/vegan for too much of my adult life to want to drink a glass of milk.  Now 1/2 and 1/2 or cream, that's another story.  Bring it right on.  I allow myself a tsp or two of cream in my morning Earl Grey tea.

Thanks Jean!!
