And for the hat trick: Yes, Amy, I do feel really excellent! Again, it's the little things I notice. Today, I took the garbage out to the dumpster before walking over to the car to go for my swim. Before the surgery, I was having such issues with physical mobility that I would take my garbage to my car, put it in the trunk, and then drive the 200 feet to the dumpster because I didn't want to wear myself out walking there and then back to the car.
There are also bigger things that are really TMI and gross (period related) that I probably shouldn't go into detail here. Suffice it to say that I'm using half of the pads I used to before this month!
Yes, Amy, I do feel really excellent!
When I think about losing some weight or getting in better shape, it's that more than anything that drives me. I'm glad you're feeling so good.
Yay, Kathy! Looking good, lady!
You are looking great, Kathy.
In addition to all the laundry and such, I made myself really good black bean soup in the slow cooker. It's not exactly summer fare, but it's not exactly summer here either--it's windy enough to be freaking out the cats.
I found a recipe for black bean "burgers" I want to try.
It's too much summer here. It's been in the high 80s for days, and is supposed to go over 90 tomorrow and Tuesday.
When I feel tired and don't want to go to the gym, I run my hand along my jaw line and around behind my ears, because, dammit, there's bone back there, not mush. My jaw has corners, not curves.

Yesyesyes!!!!
I'm not quite there yet, but I love to run my hand over my shoulder and feel the curve and bone underneath, as well as the muscle up there from all my swimming. I haz muscle definition! Also, I've been fondling my clavicle lately, since it's really getting prominent. This afternoon, I started doing a Carol Burnett tugging of my earlobe because I've even lost weight there that I'm just noticing now!!
The place with the gastric bypass discount was Shady Maple Smorgasbord [link] They also have a really weird pricing scheme -- the dinner is a different price each day.
GO KATHY!!
Kat, are you still on Vicland?
Beautiful day here today, and this evening I saw my first fireflies of the year. Yay!
