AngieBear Β Β 2,524 Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) My personal goal(s) of this month: To break into Onederland To increase my running distance from 3.5 miles to 5 miles for my long run. Surgery type: Gastric Sleeve Status: 3 months post-op Weight & BMI: 210 and 37 Fun fact: Ummm, huh, Iβm not very exciting. OKay, I know how to do soooo many art/craft media, hereβs a list: stained glass, fused glass, glass torchwork, throwing ceramics on the wheel, hand building ceramics, sewing, from couture to sewing for short run theater, Oil painting, watercolor painting, tie dye, acrylic painting, woodworking, handcarving, relief printing, copperplate etching, lithography, monotype, collagraph, screenprinting, basic metalsmithing (jewelry), beadwork, spinning yarn, knitting, crochet, weaving, felting, quilting, photography (both darkroom and digital), drawing, lots of different sculpture methods, and letterpress.

Sheribear68 Β Β 3,201 Posted July 31, 2019 In! 1. Okay so this sounds weird, but Iβm setting a personal goal for August to avoid alcohol entirely. Wine had been creeping back unto my diet and then there was a tequila tasting and....well no wonder I had a bit of a stall lately. I want to average losing 2 pounds/week this month and thatβs the ONLY way to achieve it. 2. VGS on 2/6/19. Still losing and approx 20-30 pounds from goal weight. 3. Weight this morning was 174.0 and Iβm 5β7β. This puts me at a BMI of 27.2. 4. Fun fact: back in 1991 I was eating lunch with a friend at a diner in Shawnee, OK. We were being pretty loud and laughing and dishing about different guys,etc (I was 23yo) and my friend whispered to me that there was some βreally cute guyβ in the booth right behind me eavesdropping on our convo and laughing. Me being me, I started throwing packets of sweet and low over my shoulder seeing if I could hit him. Apparently I got him a couple of times and told him I was βjust sending some fake sugarβ his way. After he left, the waitress came over and asked me how in the world was I brave enough to flirt that outrageously with Brad Pitt. My response was βwho?β Honestly Iβd been in pharmacy school for the last 5 years and had no clue who he was. Just thought it was some random guy. 5 3 FluffyChix, Chiptress , Cheeseburgh and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
