Not-Quite-Ten Things Tuesday?

1.  I am procrastinating work, and although I know it is not Thursday yet, I have a bunch of little things I want to post about.

2.  My mom made her WLS consultation appointment for September 25.  I was really happy for her, until the person she talked to on the phone told her that the Lap Band was outdated and they prefer RNY or GSV.  I hope they don't talk her into doing something she doesn't want to do....

3.  Last night I made a really good dinner for myself and the Banker. 

Chicken Cutlets
Procciutto
Aloutte low-fat Spinach and Artichoke

I put cut 3 chicken cutlets into 4 pieces each and then laid a piece of procciutto on top, just enough to cover the chicken.  Then put a dollop of the aloutte in the middle, folded the chicken over and stuck it on a skewer.  I baked these in the oven for about 30 minutes at 350degrees, covered with tin foil to keep the moisture, then baked another 10 minutes uncovered to let them brown a little.  They were awesome!  Served with Baby Red potatoes.

4.  Does anyone watch SCANDAL?
It is the only show on TV that I watch.  I'm super excited that one of my closest friends is having a Scandal themed birthday party in September.  I know that's a while away, but last year's theme was Bar Golf, and it was just one week before surgery.  That will be a fun photo comparison....

For Scandal watchers, I believe I'll be Quinn.  The Birthday Girl is the only one allowed to come as Olivia Pope. 

5.  It is going to be a busy weekend!  Friday is the Electric Run in Charlotte, Saturday is the All-White Party in Raleigh, and Sunday is a family reunion in Charlotte.  Not sure I'm going to be able to make that 4 hour round-trip drive on Friday AND Sunday.
But I can't wait to re-take the All-White Party photo from last year!
6.  I wish there was more time in the day for all the things I want to do.  Lately I feel like my schedule is so full, anyone who wants to see me has to make advanced plans.  It's a nice problem to have, but sometimes I just need some me time.  Last night, Banker asked me what I have planned the rest of this week, and when I finished going through each night he said "OK, so let me know if you have a cancellation and can fit me in sometime."

7.  I've got baby fever something serious.  No one on my team at work is pregnant for the first time since I joined this team two years ago.  Hmmmm... just kidding.
8.  I think I fell in love with Vanessa at Athena Banded Warrior when reading her Rants yesterday.

Life ....or Something Like it

 There was once a time that my blog was therapy to me.  It seems now I neglect my blog for actual therapy- but that is probably a good thing.  It has been 2 years since I wrote a post.  It isn't for lack of wanting to, I just don't want to be fake on here, and there were times that I felt like I could not be transparent or myself, so I chose not to write.  It was nothing to do with weight loss/gain- I will always be transparent there, but my life was a little upside down and sideways at times over the last few years.  I am finally at a place that I can be me, so here I am again. Being me isn't all pretty- but it's honest. The last two years have been...busy. I had my skin removal surgery on January 27, 2022.  I'm almost 19 months post-op, and it was hell!  The surgery itself went great: -Lower Body Lift with Belt Lipectomy -Breast Lift with Augmentation The healing process was the hardest.  I didn't feel like "myself" for about 6 months and that is som

Ten Things Thursday

1. I forgot to weigh in this morning, but my other weigh ins this week tell me the number on the scale really had not moved since last week. 2.  Yesterday my plans were kind of up in the air.  First, my mom talked about coming to visit.  Then Mr. Banker asked to come over.  Then a friend, Ashley, asked me to go to dinner.  My mom canceled, so I told Mr. Banker that Ashley had asked me to dinner, so he told me to go out with her.  I guess he wasn't expecting I would be at the restaurant for 4 hours because apparently he was planning to come over after my dinner. 3.  One of my favorite things about Lap Band is that I can usually go out to dinner for about $4 now.  If you don't have a card from your WLS that states you can eat from the kid's menu, you're missing out! 4.  I need a fill.  I'm hungry all the time right now.  I tried to move my appointment up, but they didn't have any openings.  I'm so thankful my PA will be back next month!  It's so much

32 Weeks Pregnant

Hi everyone, just wanted to stop in with a quick pregnancy/weight update. So... I'm still lighter than I was the day I found out I was pregnant, but I have watched the scale creep up slightly and that is hard!  SO HARD! Above is a picture I took Friday at 32 weeks.  It's insane, I hardly even look pregnant at all.  7.5 weeks left, hopefully I can stay under my pre-pregnancy weight in the next 7.5 weeks!
