Over the past few weeks, I’ve been gradually recovering from a small bit of surgery – I’ve lost 15 pounds (I need to lose a good bit more, but that’s a start). I’ve been wearing lounge pants, sweats and track pants, because they’re roomy and the waist is elastic – much more comfortable than a zipper.
Well, today’s the day- I got my jeans out of the closet, where they’ve been hanging for the past five weeks or so, and slipped them on. It doesn’t matter that I’m wearing the larger size (I’d just bought some a size smaller); right now I’m just happy to be in something different.
Now to keep using good eating habits to take some more weight off. One thing I’m trying to change is how I look at sweets- it’s helped that I don’t really have such a sweet tooth anymore. I’ve found a great dried fruit mix that hits the spot and seems to be better for me than candy – at least I feel a bit smarter eating it.
By the way, according to my blogger dashboard, this is my 100th post… woot!

Last week I had minor outpatient surgery, and when I got home, I still had traces of the anesthesia in my system, plus they’d given me some pain meds. Trust me, I was feeling GREAT!
A friend of ours dropped over to see us, and he and my husband had a good laugh at me; I don’t know why they were laughing because I sounded perfectly fine to me. Of course, the next morning, I asked hubby what was so funny, and he said I sounded drunk… (well, duh! I was!)
Anyway, I now have a new nickname, “Cool Breeze”…
