Hi, everyone ~ What a great month to be a mayo Bandito!!

I am in Atlanta this week for work. My last business trip for awhile. I am staying at the lodge at my company's corporate campus in Norcross and commuting via the MARTA train to downtown for a conference through Wednesday. Well, I found the MARTA station closest to the office and found a place to park, marveling about the fairly long walk from my car to the train platform (and then marveling even more when I actually managed to walk all that way.)

When I got off the train in downtown Atlanta (actually my first time in downtown Atlanta) and took the escalator up to street level, it was amazing -- like NYC or something! I was operating under the mistaken assumption that I would be able to look around and see the Hyatt, so I was unprepared with directions. Unfortunately (or not?) I zigged when I should have zagged and ended up walking for several blocks in the wrong direction. When I finally arrived at the hotel, I was pretty must *toast*. But I was pretty pleased with myself to have made it over that hurdle.

The other "I did it!" for the day was when I had lunch at the hotel, I felt inspired by my own efforts and decided to order one of the better choices on the menu -- tuna salad on wheat and a salad. I typically would have chosen the grilled chick sammy with fries.

After the conference, I took the train back to my car and walked the long walk back to the parking lot, feeling pretty darn pleased with myself.

Yay!

I wanted to lose 10% of my body weight on my own before surgery. I started WW in Feb and between that and the liquid pre-op diet I lost 41 lbs. I started at 372 and was 331 pre-op. I can't wait to kiss the 300's goodbye forever!!

That's fantastic........Congrats......I'm trying to do the same thing. I've been really , really strict on the pre-op diet and in fact started a modified version the week before. I'm remaining strict even though I can eat the tire off of a car but look forward to Monday......All systems are a go..
