Potty is fine
food yesterday was good (even if I did have half a petite fillet with bacon horseradish cheddar on it for dinner) with smashed potatoes and some roasted veggies (yes I can eat like a normal person, only smaller amounts…)
what i Need is a good 2 week liquid protein diet… NOT Happening… too early for real dieting… I should still be honeymooning and losing…. arrghhh… oh well the fact that I do yoga three times a week cardio 5 days a week and lift two days a week means I’m doing something right…
On March 27th I saw 189.8 for the first time I stayed in the 180s for THREE whole days then bounced up to the 190s again for SIX days…. SIX long horrible days….
April 5th I hit 189…. Rock solid… 189 and i know that’s my weight now… 189… I should be THRILLED…. I Mean after all I only DREAMED of 189 for how long before surgery…. NEVER thought I could get there…. in fact 189 was my secret private don’t tell anyone goal. I figured 189 was where I’d get and settle. I feel good here. My numbers are good (Cholesterol 127, glucose 84) and I can move… improvement is seen weekly in Yoga by both the instructors and myself…. it’s that obvious… so I should be happy right? I’m at goal right?
WRONG…. WRONG WRONG… so now what’s my goal? what’s my secret private goal… hmmmm…. hmmmm… instant response 169…. just like I used to say ONEderland was my goal… it wasn’t 189 was my brain goal. So now I can say 179 is a goal but in my heart of hearts I know that it’s 169…. and I wonder if I will EVER get there….
But I digress…
anyway so on 4/5/10 i was 189… Then the DROP came…
187.6 down to 186.2 back up to 187.2 then a plummet to 184.8 then the climb back to 187.4… Which is where i sit… still below the magic 189…. I should be happy… I’m not.
oh well

Sunday April 4, 2010
How did we get to Sunday already? Oh because we went away this weekend… and it was GREAT…
Saturday morning, Norman, Amy and Lee (sans hubby John) made it to our house around ten and we headed up to Hershey PA. One of the reasons we bought our van was just for trips like this… 5 adults in one van… worked great… we could have done 6 even if needed… We were blessed with BEAUTIFUL WEATHER…. 
Arriving in Hershey we stopped at Applebees for lunch. Oy… it was fun.
So we drove up to Hershey Gardens… and we walked through the gardens… and took some fun shots walked around for a few hours..

A private moment captured by Norman
We hit the gift store and I got a ladybug necklace and a butterfly magnet. Then we checked in at the hotel (an awesome choice for location as it was a mile from the Hershey Theatre (a small about 1700 people) intimate location for our TSO Concert and close to Hershey Park and hit Dukes of Hershey for dinner. It turned out to be an awesome choice and all had fun… and good food… the awesome TSO concert. We had good seats… and Brian and I were both comfortable sitting in the seats, which was a total NSV for both of us…
The next morning we got up and discovered the toilet was stopped up. Thankfully Lee went downstairs and we had a guy up to fix the toilet in like 5 minutes. I was impressed. We went down for breakfast and I was sad…. NO BACON. I had a protein shake some juice cut with water and some coffee. I survived. I do admit to missing the ability to have an English muffin or a waffle but I survived. Then we went to Chocolate World and we took the Chocolate Tour all the while reminiscing about the days when we could walk through the Hershey factory… oy we’re old. We got the tour picture and I think that I look like a tiny doll next to Brian…
Brian knew the picture was coming... I think I look so small next to him...
After the Tour we went to the store… we got some mugs… and I got them with chocolate so I can take it to work to share with my co-workers. I had some really really good coffee… then we went to Indian Echo Caverns where we took a tour of the caverns. I got a lovely bright blue hoodie… it says Hershey but the color is awesome. Also got some serious ladybug stuff…
Then we stopped at The Soda Jerk Diner and the waitress was awesome, the food was awesome and the fun was awesome. Sadly it appears the website has been hacked so I’m not going to link to it. I did get a really cute shirt there too.
It was a GREAT weekend and it was so much fun to be with our friends.

Hi All,
having a week of discontent. I think I’m retaining water… so I am guessing a “period” is due soon. I never know.
Ankle has been bothering me but i did Yoga this morning. I did skip body pump and cardio last night. Took Harley to the vet. Dang dog gained 7 pounds and is now 101.4 which means I have to give him for over 100 pounds meds… sadly he’s NOT fat at all so he doesn’t need to lose… and he’s still growing. I’m thinking when all is said and done he’ll top out around 115 or so… not bad but still small for a newf…. he’s really filling out nicely…. he needs grooming BADLY but the vet was $600 this month.. sheesh…
191.6 this morning. 
not that I have to fet much… I had major NSV this morning:
1. a denim skirt i bought last fall and never got around to wearing now fits. nicely. I was thinking it’s a 2x (elastic waist) like the one I am wearing today…. NOPE it’s a LARGE…. and it fits GOOD…. it just is so long… (like the one today… I look like an orthodox Jewish girl today… long denim skirt elbow length high neck shirt…) I’m like the BEFORE shot on WHAT NOT TO WEAR….
2. YOGA even with the bum ankle was AWESOME today. DID NOT fall out of a single pose. Knees to chest now means I can interlace my fingers over my legs instead of just holding the outsides of my legs! Modified Half moon… grabbed that ankle… held the downward dog, transitions are better, smoother, faster, LUNGES deeper… working those quads and hamstrings… oh and PLANK… still modified but just BARELY…. WOO-HOO… I noticed that this week… my strength is improving… my flows are improving.
Today I have to call best buy in 11 minutes and try to figure out this damn microwave installation. it’s pissing me off. it was supposed to be installed LAST saturday… they did not have mounting brackets… then they called last night and said they were coming today. NOPE they called at 8:30 and told brian NO… so now I’m trying to figure this out…
oy vey.
food today:
commute: protein latte with CLICK MOCHA and real coffee YUMMY
work: nothing yet will drink a protein shake later
lunch: going to Super Fresh will make a salad with protein
snack: laughing cow and soy chips
dinner: no clue
just not into food….
