Phone:

Gosh, I use it for everything now. food counts, alarm etc. Most important would be keeping up with the kids though!

Day 23: Hard to express gratitude for my phone since I basically hate it but it is necessary in the current times. I do like being able to use the calendar so I do not have to keep up with appointment cards or papers. That is about it. I am grateful that I am not obsessed with talking while driving, shopping, eating etc.

24. Hmm, social media. The only one I use is Facebook. Why? Because 10 years ago, I discovered it was a way to stay connected to family and friends and keep up-to-date. We also used to share poetry and photograph...still do. Sadly, it is also drowning in politics and advertisements. I miss the beginning. I still use it for the same reasons I started.

Social media:

I don't actually do ANY social media. I think I just have a natural distrust of it. I can see how Facebook can help people kind of keep up with each other, but it's soooo phoney. Its like reading everyone's Christmas letter- all the friggin time. You know, the one where Aunt June says her son is "taking time off to explore his possibilities" and you already know that really means he is doing felony time for 3 more years? 🤣

Hard pass!!!

Day 22: Im most grateful for thanksgiving last year. My parents and I ended up hosting plus I went to my bf's dads house, his moms house, and a family friends house. I had such a good time with everyone! Plus all the food was great. I had something different at each house. When I finally got back home, which was around 3 am, my family was still drinking and partying. My aunt who is almost 5 ft tall and maybe weighs about 120 pounds ended up drinking a little too much and stood on our coffee table and started dancing. Everyone was cheering her on but then out of the nowhere the coffee table broke and she fell. She ended up getting right back up and continued dancing like crazy and everyone cheered even louder 🤣

Day 23: Im most grateful for FaceTime! Do you know how many times my bf runs to the grocery store to pick something up while I'm cooking but gets the wrong thing? If it wasn't for FaceTime, this issue would continue to happen. I need to plan my grocery trips better.

B-Side Question: Are you good or terrible (like John Mayer) at moderation?

I use to be terrible... ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. Moderation, especially when it came to portion sizes didn't exist. Thats how I gained so much. Im happy to say its gotten so much better. I actually know what moderation means now lol

What am I most grateful for in my city/town. We have a top notch school district and gorgeous parks. I didn’t take either of these photos.

B. I suck at moderation.

Day 25: What are you most grateful for in your city?

The current reigning NBA champs: The Toronto Raptors.

(Yes, we are still flying high on this months old win. Going to continue to ride it until they rip the trophy from our cold dead hands.)

GO RAPS GO!

Day 25:
I’m most grateful that my city is all about resilience and the ability to shine through in our darkest moments.
I’ll just let the pics speak for themselves.
I love going to the memorial site sometimes just to see the survivor tree. It gives me hope that anything can be endured and overcome.

@ms.sss My youngest son has SO MUCH Raptor, Blue Jay, and Hamilton Tiger-cat gear. His stepbrothers live in Ajax and Brampton and his Aunts are in Hamilton.

*It took me a few days to forgive Toronto for beating my team (Milwaukee Bucks) to get to the championship. I’m a fair weather fan, so it was easy to root for Toronto when the games began.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
