Wow...okay.... a LONG week of eating and drinking. Family all left today, so tomorrow it's back on track! I know, a lot of us overdid things over this holiday and it's NOT the end of the world, but with not being able to work out at the same time...it's a little scary. I won't lie. I know I'm up a few pounds...I won't weigh in for a couple of days. No need to get myself all freaked out, right? So sorry I haven't checked any of my friends' journals all week. It's all back to "normal" for a while again. That means recording food, journaling, keeping in touch with my friends here, reading others' journals and hopefully - I will start walking, too I need some exercise. I go for my six week post op check this coming Friday... have a few questions for him. And want to know when and how I can start working out again. And yeah, I'm scared... afraid I've lost that motivation, that drive. But I'll just do what I did in the beginning...some of that fake it 'til you make it!
I actually DID do stupid things while family was here. How do you NOT pick up an almost two year old baby who is lifting her arms to you and saying "Auntie" (although it sounded more like a cross between that and doggie!). So I picked her up way too many times (30 something pounds instead of my 5 lb. limit!) and got her very strong, very sharp elbow in my belly and breasts probably a hundred times. I went to bed sore every night...but man, I could not help it. Everyone in the family was very surprised at my new "look". I was asked several times how I did it, what I was doing, called "hot" a couple of times! lol... got a few examing looks, too... but it was only my brother that asked if I had a "boob job". I denied it! lol... I just said, no, why? And then told him that I had a very good bra, and with my waist being only 26", it made my boobs look bigger. He sort of apologized for "noticing", but said I looked great. I THINK he bought it...he's that way. BUT...if he and his daughter discuss it, I'm sure she'll say, THAT'S what she did! But everyone was very gracious and kind about everything. And flattering - I'm not gonna lie!
We all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend here, lots of food, lots of talking, lots of drinking... but as great as it was, I'll be happy to get back to a normal routine. I am thankful for MANY things, and among them, I'm very thankful for my good friends here! You know who you are- you people are very important to me and I'm thankful to have you all as friends, thankful for this site that enabled us to "meet" and thankful for this opportunity to be supported by you all and to hopefully support you all in your efforts, as well.
