It’s that time of the week again! This week went by so fast, probably because I slept through most of it, but seriously- I didn’t even know it was Friday. Look what a few days off of work does to me, I’m a mess!
I have a butt load of stuff to be thankful for this week. For instance; I made it out of surgery with only having the one organ removed from my body (that I know of) AND I didn’t die or anything.
Other stuff I’m thankful for:
This is the first bowl of real ice cream I’ve eaten since 2011. It was Mint Chocolate Chip. It was delicious and I don’t regret it at all. More importantly, I no longer have a gallbladder to get upset when I eat real ice cream- and that was great.
I got flowers from two people this week. They are such a simple gesture but they have changed my whole outlook a few times. They smell wonderful and every time I look at them I smile. I’m making myself a mental note to give people flowers more often.
My guy. I always love him and am always thankful for him but he really stepped it up this week. He took off a day of work to sit in the hospital with me and has picked up all the chores around the house since I can’t. When I say he’s an amazing guy, I really mean it. I am so lucky to have him. Plus he’s not bad to look at either.
Harry Potter. No matter what time of day, I can always find one (or all) of the Harry Potter movies on our many channels.
What were things that really stood out this week in your life?
Another quick note: if you follow me on twitter I declared that I will not be weighing in this week. Why? Because it would be stupid. I have laid on the couch all week. I haven’t necessarily eaten crap (other than the 3lbs of gummy bears), but I am so bloated and have so much water weight that weighing in would do nothing good for me. And since this is my weight loss journey- I can do whatever I want.

I think this week will just be a fluke for your body anyways, smart idea not to weigh in. I mean your body just needs adjusting to all the medicine first of all. You have done an amazing job recovering.. I don’t know about sharing those gummy bears though haha
Right, I figure that my body is battling against so many things right this second so it’s just not worth the mental game the scale will play with me. Maybe I weight myself next week but I’ll see how I’m feeling as the week goes on.
I agree on the not weighing in…it was a mistake for me this morning. Anesthesia sucks in so many ways, but it beats the alternative I guess
. It is really great that you won’t have to go through all the horrible digestive upsets anymore!
Yeah, Anesthesia definitely beats the alternative of being cut open while awake!
getting flowers makes me so so happy. Even if they’re just cut from a garden. Love.
