So I had this GREAT blog written about how today I took pizza to the guys who are renovating a house for a soldier who lost both legs in Iraq. All about sacrifice, honor, and what's really important. And I hit the wrong button and lost the whole darn thing. I can't recreate it--it was really good! So I won't even try.
But I still have my own inconsequential (relatively speaking) life, and so here's a story of what happened later today...
I went to pick up my kids from their father's tonite, as we were going to see a play. His family was visiting. His parents, brother and nephew, aunt, 2 cousins and their husbands. Most of these folks I haven't seen since the divorce--about 170 pounds ago!
Well, they didnt' recognize me! The couldn't get over the change in me, they were so amazed. They all gushed about how great I looked. It was a nice ego boost.
And it made me remember something I came up with a few years ago. Remember the Master Card commercials? Well, here's my version:
Gastric Bypass Surgery $50,000
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery $25,000
New Wardrobe $5000
Catching your ex-husband "checking you out" PRICELESS!!!
(The really cool thing about that is that after seeing how well I did, HE went and had the surgery too! But I think I weigh less than he does. Teehee!! Haven't done that since we were first dating!)
So I'm 11.4 pounds from goal. I think I can do it by the end of the year. I hope so, but if not, it's ok. I feel great. I look pretty good too. Someone told me the other day I look like a teenager. LOL, I don't THINK so! But I'm happy with how I look, even if sometimes I don't recognize myself. (Hey! Who's that woman in the mirror?? Ooops! It's me!)
