It has been so long since I have done anything like this. My neighbor and I decided to get all dolled up and go to one of our lovely old theatres and see "A Christmas Carol" the weekend of Thanksgiving. I saw it years ago with my son and it was great! I got a very pretty ensemble to wear. I am looking forward to a wonderful evening.

I am having a ball (chuckling to myself) when these men (all ages) check me out now. I was in the grocery store at 6:30 am today and had 4 men checking me out ... tooooooo funny. OH IF THEY ONLY KNEW! ;-) So to celebrate I went to another store and bought me a comfy cool (but warm) sweater in a green color I never would have dared buy 6 months ago and 2 tops and a belt (to hold up my pants ... lol). A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do ... SHOP! :-)

I got these jeans maybe 6 weeks ago and could get them on BUT they were extremely tight. I just tried them 2 weeks ago and they were still tight so I stuck them in the drawer. I accidentally pulled them out today and THEY ARE NOW TOO BIG! In just 2 weeks? They are low rise and look pretty darn good even though they are loose. I guess I better get a belt?

I woke up this morning to 168 pounds! YAY!!!!!!!! 101 pounds lost in 6 months! YAY!!!!!!!!! Today is my 6 month SURGERVERSARY!

I set 2 goals for Novemeber 13, 2008 (my 6 month "surgerversary". # 1 was to be in size 12 pants/jeans and I made it! YAY! # 2 is to weigh 169 (which would be 100 pounds lost since WLS 5/13/08). This morning I weighed 170 ... just 1 pound to go! I have 2 days to lose that 1 pound.

I managed to catch some horrible head cold or flu. I have been sick for 3 days now. NASTY! I also had to see the Podiatrist and get more cortizone shot in my heel. I also saw the PCP and got my 6 mo blood draw and a flu shot. I came home and went to bed I am so sick. :-(

I had to move a very large chest of drawers in to my room to accomodate all of my clothing now!!! I need more closet space too! It is so much fun shopping for clothes now! I walk past the PLUS DEPT and see those huge clothes and think WOW ... THAT WAS ME! Then I scurry off to the regular Misses Dept. AND DON"T LOOK BACK! ;-)
