I had an appointment with my surgeon today and I was so scared he was going to say he didn't need to see me again! Well, he wants me back in 6 months instead! I'm so happy. I love going there. The best part was that I weighed 143 lbs wearing jeans no less! He is so happy with my progress. In a gazillion years, I never would have thought that I would be at this weight or feel this great. It's taken me 21 months, slow losers take heed, the weight comes off! My body wanted to hang on to every ounce I've lost, believe me!
Unfortunately, the trip to my doctor usually takes 1.5 hrs to get there but this morning it took 4 hrs. Major accident shut down all lanes on i95. I am sure there were fatalities. I kept thinking about the families of those involved in the accident and kept thinking about my life on may 11, 2010. Getting that call. I will never forget the pain. Lucky for me, it was my husband on the other end of the phone giving me the horrific news. I cannot imagine being told by a stranger that your father and brother in law were killed. I will certainly keep these unknown people in my prayers.
Speaking of family, we are heading up to Long Island next Wednesday and will be there until 12/27. I cannot wait! I am also excited about coming up again in January and going to the boob brunch on the 21st! Both of my gorgeous daughters will be coming with me too. They are very excited to meet some of my blogland friends.
My work Christmas party is tonite and I am bringing baked ziti. problem is, it's 2:40 pm and we have to be there by 5 and it's not made! I'm not even home yet from drs. Sauce is made so as soon as I walk in the door, I gotta get a big pot of water on to boil to make the pasta. Once that is done, throwing it all together should be easy. I should have enough time to bake it, change and make it there on time. I made these adorable homemade marshmello s'mores last night ( i will post a picture later) to bring as I did not bake any cookies this year. Hmmmm....wonder if there is any correlation between that and seeing 141 on my scale this morning? Thought to ponder.
Wish me luck with my Ziti marathon....should be home in a few minutes.
Ziti was in the oven at 3:45...will be out at 4:30 and packed up for a road trip!

Jealous of the NYC Brunch!
You've done so well! I hope to be right where you are in 21 months!
You are amazing! You have done fantastic and you have so much to be proud of!
Have a wonderful holiday with your family and hugs to you my friend!
that baked ziti sounds way too delish - i hope ya'll have a great time in NY!
Yummy looking treats, and I too wonder about the cookie coincidence :o)
Your treats look so yummy, hope the pasta was a hit. Now we just need some new pics of you and your sassy 140-ish figure! :-)
Super big hugs. And you are right about being excited. Everyone needs to know that some times it just takes time to lose the weight. Love you. Have a great holiday.
