What a pretty, festive and appetizing dish + presentation!

Just picked up these slacks and crop top at the seamstress. 5 foot me ALWAYS needs alterations. ;[ Will need the appropriate shoes and accessories in time... Loving these new linen Bermuda shorts and cotton cool tops for humid Florida summers. 95 today. And, Yay, this time last summer July 14, 2019 I weighed 171. Today, I weigh 115. I have not worn shorts since WLS. I feel much cooler and lighter on my feet this summer then previous ones. So pumped!

Happy belated birthday, GT! Posies for the new you birthday celebration... Here are those terrific finds. Two quality cotton sweat shirts + windbreaker for under $28.00 from Macy's. All size extra small.

This curry corn and butternut squash soup was to die for. Think the fam might like it, too? But again - it's not beef or BQ! Serve a good steak on the side. Haha.

There you go! Burn baby burn. What sweet roll?

Salad looks delish! BUT I love that pastel mint with colorful sparkles nail polish!!! Manicure via a professional or yourself? Really pretty... ;]

I find this thread very helpful in gauging my own personal food consumption as we all evolve learning our new stomach capacity, and lifestyle habits with food. A good check and balances since we will never eat like normals or most around us whom are slender without WLS. After WLS food interaction can be a lonely plight without this invaluable fellowship. Ergo, thank you for pointing out the need for camaraderie and not criticism.

LOVE your dog! Name? Bobby, our wire fox terrier loves green beans, squash and most fruits. His kitchen antics when a potential snack might be involved. Haha.

This link is a hoot! Thanks for sharing. Meow. ;] Breakfast peaches this morning.

I was thinking vaccine! But you make a good point... LOL! Here's the seasoning version I found yesterday at Whole Foods market. Looking forward to trying it on a salad or veggies, but a little concerned that salt was listed as the 2nd ingredient. :[ Pickled beets and egg for breakfast.

Gorgeous children! No doubt where they get their stunning looks... BTW, found some amazing 80% off black Friday sales on Champion gear yesterday at Macy's. I'll model them - as you mentioned once the kids love that brand + look. Me, too. I could hardly believe the fun and colorful things I found for Florida winters. All cropped styles for this shortie on her casual errand runs. $60+ garments under $10.00 each. Blue wind breaker - $4.34. Crazy!

I'm coming over for lunch! We freeze and use our leftover pancakes made with banana, oatmeal and cottage cheese batter into quick, little sandwiches. This was lunch yesterday - egg salad with that hint of banana. Yum.

Looking to know what pharmaceutical to invest in!

We miss you, Silly Kitty! Wha cha got cookin' of late?! Meow.

Great IDEA! And, at least you did not succumb to making tomato aspic with meat stock! LOL.

What a rewarding project to embark upon. And, such a magical dreamy space! You must send progress pictures. Brings back very fond memories of our family northeast cabins built by my great-grandparents (unfortunately, sold off by rapacious relatives)... My favorite sleeping nook was much like above open window with cool summer breezes and fire flies flitting about. Great casement window details for such a renovation. Will you incorporate them?

LOVE IT! A gal after my own heart. I could not live without my New Yorker magazine, cartoons + collection volumes in my library. I do cut, categorize and file them under food, relationships, design (like this one) and fashion etc. Use cartoons almost daily to share in a personal card, letter of agreements, client design notebooks, design statements and one weekly on kitchen cork board. A familiar and wonderful way of looking at life. Simply genius, really. Does your daughter ship treats? Will place an order with her! LOL. What an amazing legacy. She sounds just like her mother - A true artisan of beauty and purpose, indeed. We are planning to try out the blueberry chocolate bars and white bean soup with best broth ever this weekend from www.nutritionstripped.com ;]

Bachelor and Spinsters ball. What FUN is that! Jake, a possible trip to western Queensland? These Aussie's girls are pretty adorable, I'd say. LOL. I love your blue gown!!! Your hairstyle so glamorous. I'd wear both today in a heart beat. And, taffeta paired with velvet. Glorious. Your impeccable taste will never go out of style... Thank you so much for sharing. ;]

What a scream! Haha. Oh the hell with being politically correct - Jake's a HUNK a HUNK of burning love! Right? Where's Elvis when we need him. LOL.

😁😁😁

Thank you for sharing these incredible links! I just ordered Nutrition Stripped: 100 whole food recipes. I will enjoy exploring both sites including One Green Planet. Not to mention, these little perfect bite sized superfood treats to die for. Did you make and photograph these, too? They are textured and sculpted beautifully... Look so forward to discovering more scrumptious delectables + recipes. Fun! Quality carbs so important for fueling body and brain. I become quite foggy and fussy without them.

Oh Ms. PollyEster, you made my day! No, my week. No, my month! Some additional major cancellations and/or delays for meaningful and happily anticipated events for late October surfaced recently. You're thoughtful and encouraging words meant so much. And, becoming more comfortable with being uncomfortable. I like that! Thank you. Keep safe and sound, as well.

Ta Da - lunch today! Egg salad (on 1 ½ Firehook crackers) with fresh chives, red onion, bread & butter pickles, black ground pepper with a little mayo. Very hungry today. Ate it all. ;]

Did they give you a new surgery date or possible timeline in moving forward? Hopefully, by early Fall or sooner? Let's keep our fingers crossed we clear this Florida spike sooner than later. Meanwhile, some virtual posies cheering on your resolve and dedication to becoming healthier and fit. So excited for you! ;]
