DOING GOOD... and... GROWING UP

I haven't posted for a while, I frankly didn't have anything interesting to say. I have started walking on the treadmill and trying to stay away from the scale. I keep telling myself only once a week but it's hard lol.

I have however paid the price for eating to fast, more then once. It really HURTS!... I don't chew enough and boy do I ever feel it. It totally stops me in my tracks...and even if I have only had the one bite....I am done after feeling that pain. It can take some time before it finally works it's way down. As uncomfortable as it is, I am thankful that my new anatomy is doing exactly what it's supposed to.

If I had one frustration it is ..I miss being able to gulp down a good glass of cold water. Nothing beats that when u are thirsty. Now, even a gulp of water , I feel. I have to take it easy because my new stumach acts like a funnel. So I sip alot lol.

Since my food intake is so limited now, what I do eat is all GOOD.. food. No more soda or crap like that and lots of water. I have already seen a difference in my skin. I never had severe acne but even now into my 40's I had blemishes. My skin now is softer, and alot more clear than it's been in years.

So it's all good.

I had to post something I got from my friend Sue in an email. I know alot of ppl who will get a kick out of it and recognise themselves. I know I did...although for the record...I CAN STILL SAY THERE ARE A COUPLE I HAVEN'T DONE YET!

... and the number one sign you are getting old is:

Then you forward it to a bunch of old friends 'cause you know they'll enjoy it.
