Verbal Explosions

Oh my gracious goodness I feel like it has been forever since I have blogged and my wee little brain is running over!

Random Thoughts For Wednesday Are:

-Whenever I read the term "Food Porn" on somone's blog, I immediately have visions of a banana dry humping an apple...or something juicy like that. Imagine my disappointment when I only find pictures of meals. *sigh*

-I went to a bridal expo this week, and besides leaving with the pressing urge to get rich immediately, I found this photographer who has an all female staff and does pin-up shoots. Oh man this got the exhibitionist in my so exicited! I think I will wait until I am closer to goal...but I am pretty excited. I wouldnt be naked...because then I couldn't show the pictures to everyone...but think 50's glam.

-Some of you have asked and yes...I am STILL clean and sober. No Sunkist now for 13 days. Funny enough, last night my parents came over and my mom brought a bunch of stuff she had at the condo (they are going home on Friday). This stuff included my 2-Litter bottle of Sunkist from New Years Eve...which must be BEYOND flat. I was telling her to throw it away bc it was old and she poured a glass and told me to take a sip. Without thinking I almost did! Then I startled my mom by saying NO! I CAN'T (she didnt know about my rehab). It was all very slow motion though and as I reached for the cup, I could see Tracey getting ready to do a mission impossible tuck 'n' roll dive towards me to stop what was about to happen...

-Guess what else I have forgot to blog about! I met Lacey! We could only meet briefly but it was so worth it! She had a big bag of clothes for me. The contents of big bag included a winter jacket, several fleece jackets, and two pairs of shoes! I have worn these shoes 3 days straight (cute peep toe black pumps) and have worn at least one other item every day since I met her! Thank you so much Lacey! She is cute, and short, and tiny. When I grow up I want to be just like her (although technically she is younger than me).

-My doctor was featured in a newsletter and I wanted to share it with you guys!

Baptist Bariatric Center is leading in quality care receiving multiple Center of Excellence designations. Last month, Jeffrey Friedman, M.D., bariatric surgeon, was recognized as a Center of Excellence surgeon for providing high quality bariatric patient care and proven surgical outcomes.

In 2007, the Baptist Bariatric Center was the first weight-loss surgery program in northwest
Florida to be recognized by the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric surgery as a Center of Excellence. In addition, J. David Nye, M.D., bariatric surgeon, was granted the same honor.

A Center of Excellence designation further recognizes that Baptist Health Care is meeting the
highest standards in bariatric patient care – a key factor in the patient decision process.

-Just a reminder that my one year bandiversary is two weeks from today. My goal is to be at 120 pounds lost by then. And I will do it! I go for my 1 year follow up appointment a week from today, so not so secretly, I want to be at 120 pounds down by then. That is my stretch goal!

-I know some of you are struggling with water consumption. I like to make a little game out of my water drinking, and aim for 120 ounces a day. I buy the 20 ounce bottles from Walmart...and this makes it easier for my math challenged brain. I bring just one to work with me and refill it at the fountain. Once I finish one bottle, I get my little sharpie out and make a tick mark. I like to have 5 tick marks by the time I go home, which leaves only water bottle left to drink when I get there. Here is my bottle so far for today.

I think I will save my shameless product placements for the next post! Hope everyone is having a wonderful hump day!

And HELLO to all my new followers! Followers are the blog equivalent to...no...I can't post it. Everything I was thinking of involved the word climax....and as a lady...I must refrain.

LOL..but you get the point! Thank you for reading, and commenting, and emailing. It means more to me than you know!
