Spring cleaning


I had to do something this weekend to take my mind off of my hunger. Saturday I thought I was going to eat myself out of house and home. So in addition to walking for several hours and joining a pick up basketball game Saturday and hiking today, I did some spring cleaning.

I decided to clean out my closets of all clothes that no longer fit. Here's my donation list so far:
29 dresses
16 shirts
2 dress pants
9 pairs of jeans
1 pair of shorts
2 skirts
3 sweaters
3 Capri's

Needless to say, my closet is looking pretty bare. I haven't gone through the 3 hampers of clothes I washed today so I'm sure there will be more to add to the list. Well...hopefully it will be a good tax deduction for 2013.

I also rewarded myself with a few new items of clothing today. 3 new shirts and a pair of black Capri pants. The size 14 fit in the pants but I want to wear them with a sheer top to a concert on Wednesday so I didn't want to have and fat roll hanging over-I went with the size 16 lol.

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Shake Shake Shake, Shake your...... blender ball!

  I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Donna for introducing me to MyBariatricPantry.com !!!!  They sell protein powder by the tub or in samples (as well as other products).  I chose to go with 35 different samples. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know I've always been the "I hate protein powder" type of girl. Not anymore. So I wanted to share that with you. So far I have tried: Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade Syntrax Nectar Chocolate Truffle Syntrax Nectar Caribbean Cooler Matrix Mint Cookie  (mmmmmmmmm) The Matrix Mint Cookie seriously tasted like a mint chocolate chip milkshake (but melty).  I bet if I put it in a blender with some ice, it would be as good as a milkshake. I will be buying that one in the huge tub!  All have been great so far though! Also, every single morning it seems like I see a new lower number! Eff yes!
