| May 22, 2003 - (Thursday) I've got a new TV love -- Extreme Makeovers! OMG, it's wonderful. I watched last night for the first time and it's fabu. As a person who's lost a lot of weight -- time and time again -- the skin is just not good anymore. Sheesh, imagine getting all the surgery you desire FREE? The only draw back is the national TV coverage.. *lol*. If only I could do it annonymously, I'd be there immediately!! *wink* Oh well, this weekend is Memorial Day weekend and it's going to rain rain rain. It's my b-day on Monday and it's fabulous to be another year older and feeling soooo much better. The shore house is almost complete, complete enough to move into and get settled. My sister and Mom are there (as I type) and are cleaning and setting stuff up. The furniture (that we have) has been moved in from the trailer, the new bedding has been delivered and we are definitely getting settled. There's just a few things that still need attention but it's fabulous. I'm going to bring my bikes next weekend, no sense bringing them down while it's raining. I doubt I'd actually ride this weekend. Eating has been OK, not terrible, not great. I've reduced my bread to only a 1/2 of 1/2 of a sub occasionally. Soooo, Panera Bread has not seen my face recently and that's a good thing!! Ohhhhhhhh one fun thing, we went to see Hairspray last weekend and OMG, it was amazing. The entire cast fabulous. The standing ovation began as the bit players took their bows. It was such an uplifting show....I think I'm going to get tickets again to see it. Yes, it's expensive, but a definitely great evening. You go out humming the soundtrack. I loved it. If you live around NYC, take a trip in and see the show. Oh well, things are the same at work, I'm still employed, that's a good thing, but things are scary. Everyone is afraid that they will be tapped next to vacate the premises. I keep praying and hoping for the best. I guess I have to realize that unemployment happens to the best of us and we just have to dust ourselves off and get hopping to get work elsewhere. I guess the sooner I start believing that statement the happier I'll be....ok all till next time....have a great weekend and I'll write again soon!! :) December 11, 2003 - (Thursday) - 2 Year Anniversary!!! :) Wow, it's been a long time since I updated last!!! Well, today marks my 2 year anniversary, no one remembered, but I hardly did either. I'm happy happy happy thrilled thrilled thrilled that I did this surgery and I can't believe that it's 2 years already. Life is just life. I have to struggle now to not gain weight, I'm certainly not at my goal weight, but I'm OK. I'd like to lose some more, but I'll have to really TRY to lose more. I'm up a few pounds right now that I want to get off, but if I don't lose any more than I did originally, I'm just fine with that. Size 12-14 is an OK size. I have nothing to be ashamed of. I can be ashamed that I'm a lazy lump and don't exercise...ugh...really need to clean off that treadmill and get moving. But most of all, I'm thankful for Dr. Bertha, I'm loving my life and thankful that I have a life to live...not just an existence. Oh well....that's all for now...be happy and drop me a line if you have any questions...till next time.. |
