Well this weekend I was feeling pretty perky so I took my girl and we went to my sister's house. She lives about 2 hours away, and we wanted to take our girls to their first ever movie! We went and saw Tangled. It really was a cute movie. Everyone had delicious popcorn and snacks. I had a delicious Isopure. Really wasn't that bad, but I would have liked to taste one little kernel?! But then again it would probably be a gateway drug and I would wake up in the popper covered in salt. So best to avoid!
The next day my sister and I were getting lunch around and talking in her kitchen and the girls were playing a game downstairs. It was getting a little quiet, but we didn't think too much of it. Then maybe 10 more minutes passed and we figured oh crap it's real quiet -better check quick! Well we hit the bottom of the stairs and here come the 3 and 4 year olds in from the garage. They are dressed in dresses and leggings, winter hats, jackets not zipped, and boots on the wrong feet with no socks, and no mittens. They were coming in for the mittens because their hands were too cold OUT SLED RIDING IN THE SNOW. Yes, we win mothers of the year. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry or what. It was real cute though. We just changed them and warmed them up with some lunch and told them to please ask mommy next time so we can help get dressed warm...oy.
Sister and her husband do good home cookin. They ate delish chicken and mashed potatoes and sweet carrots. I had some tomato basil soup with unflavored protein powder added. Real hard though. I nibbled a tiny bit of my girls plate. Killin me.

| Not my xray! |
Tuesday was my post surgery appts. I had an xray first. They do this so they have a baseline for where the band and all is located. Then I went up and saw Dr. Petrick. He's a handsome guy. I didn't realize that so much the day o surgery -they stole my glasses early on. He said I can go back in 2 weeks and get my first fill! Yay! Then I went to nutrition and saw Dr. Still. He was really pleased with my progress so far. I've lost 11 pounds since the day of surgery. Yay me! So now I need to get to the gym and speed up some burnage. He said now is the time to see the most rapid loss. I'm all about that so I'll do what I got to do. He also said "Ok let's give you something more to eat" I said "For the love of God yes please" So he said cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, and egg beaters. I've also included refried beans because I said so. And I ate them today and almost died of happiness.
We got snow last night and so we went out and played today. Guess whose snow pants fit?? That's right. :)
