9 Weeks Post Op

After not having a car payment for almost 5 years, I now have a car payment!  The Passport has seen its better days, and I needed to move on.  Mark and I completed the paper work yesterday evening and brought home the Pilot.  I had to visit the dealership this morning to have the spare keys made.  It is really nice driving down the road and not have an overwhelming concern about the transmission.  I know any car can cause trouble.  I am not unrealistic.  Now I have something I can drive to Savannah and see my Mama!  Ian and I will be making that trip next weekend.   Here is my new ride! 

I am down 64 pounds!  Things are still moving slowly, but they are moving.  I need to exercise.  I know my weightloss would pick up if I were exercising more.  Now that the weather is warming up, I can get back out and start walking again.  On a great note, my blood sugars are normalizing!  I usually wake up with it between 90 and 110.  It hasn't been above 140 during the day at all this week.  Woohoo!

I need to get back to journaling my food here.  It makes me more accountable.  Here is my menu from today.  I did NOT meet my protein goal today.
