    Mimi, will you be "gaining" tomorrow?  Holding your hand and praying for peace for you and skill for your physicians.

    Hi Birdies!  Hope mimi1964's surgery went well and she is resting nicely today. Let the healing begin!  I made you all some virtual holiday treats.  I know, I know...I should have made some more cardinals so that they looked more Christmas-y.  What was I thinking?

                                            bird cookies

    Don't worry, they are as low cal. as can be.  All my virtual baked goods have ZERO calories.

    Hi fellow birdies!  No i didn't gain I lost... LOL!! I had a lollipop (that's the type of incision he did) breast reduction and lift on the good left breast and a lift and on the cancer right breast I had a lift and a straightening of tissue.  The radiation and partial mastectomy left my right breast and areola pulled to the far right pointing towards the inside of my arm.  I was a mess to say the least. Anyway, the procedure was not as bad as I thought and the pain is controllable with pain meds.  When the doctor came in this morn and took off the bandages I got a sneak peek, other than being really swollen they don't look to bad.  The left is more swollen than the right, but he had to do more to the left than to the right.  I know he told me he was going to use some liposuction to shape the left breast.  My DH said that the doc also told him when he cut into the skin on my rads breast that the tissue underneath looked like a piece of wood.  Go figure!!

    So that is how I spent my Monday.  Smile

    Renee

    Ladies I didn't weigh in this week either I'm afraid it would have went up with all the swelling I am having in the breasts area.  Take care!!

    Well I plan on weighing in in the morning.  I made Linzer cookies today, but only ate one.   Glad you are up and about, Mimi.

    No scale here today Meece... I have been "naughty" Wink  eating homemade brownies with my fave/nuts and caramel (yummy!), and boiled peanuts.  Waiting on my mom to make some homemade soup.  I guess that will be our Christmas dinner.  LOL!  We have a big dinner tomorrow with family and had one last weekend.

    Hugs to all of you and hope that the day has been everything you wished for... Mine certainly has!  A White Christmas (which we never get here in the south), Christmas with my family, Christmas miracles of B9 lung MRI a few weeks ago and some lovely presents under the tree.  The most precious gift is life! 

    Happy Birthday Jesus!!

    No, I won't be weighing in this week either.  I ate and overate today.  My downfall was the bacon wrapped stuffed dates.  I think this was the best Christmas in many years.  It was frugal, but so loving!

    I think I'll boycott the scale until the first Friday in January.  I've been exceptionally bad and the wine I've been enjoying hasn't helped my case.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  I did and I agree with Meece, this was the best Christmas in many years!

    I will use the scale reading today as incentive to be good today with all the leftovers here.

    LAB-Buddies................

    We've gotta work extra hard this week so that we can ring in the New Year in style & on a happy face note.

    Smile

    We are settling into our FL home for the big transition.

    On an up-note is our work out facility.

    We went yesterday to break the Christmas slide into calories.

    Today I discovered a machine I didn't know was there. Sorta like a stair stepper, I suppose. It's all lower body, but I found I'm burning twice the calories as per the treadmill.

    So today I was able to 'walk' it for a 15 minute block.... which translated to 100 calories at the pace I was moving.

    We are now in the ideal position: time available, machines available and home cooking. I'm so happy with the momentum we've made over the last months!!! Yippee!!!

    We had oatmeal for dinner last night and have it slated again for tomorrow, so tonight I can enjoy my glass of wine and smile amist the first of the empty boxes.

    xx00xx00xx

    Kiss

    I put on some lipstick, I'm so delighted.

    Congrats on empty boxes.  I looked at my garge today.  Four years in this house and still have boxes.  I figure if I haven't needed it in four years it should go, but then...Memories.  Going to work hard at tossin' them out.

    Meecie, we have hundreds of boxes packed away in the basement of our house in Ohio -- all of the holiday boxes & all of the "old" stuff from the kids growing up.............

    That wasn't even a part of coming down here, until we finally "sell" the Ohio house, it can stay stored there for a while longer & not be dealt with.

    These boxes had all of the kitchen gear: today I unpacked things like muffin tins, cookie racks, cassarole dishes -- stuff that's not imperative to have available (for the last two winters) but makes sense to have now that we're here for the duration.

    Oh!!!

    And wine glasses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Got the bathroom stuff mostly sorted as well.

    Now we have to build the "closet" (where I've had my 'studio' the last two winters.) We've moved me into the extra bedroom & today purchased the kit to 'build' the closet...... so then we will start "moving in" to that space.

    I will raise my glass to you, Faithie.  You know how to handle the boxes.  I have lots of the boys stuff we are holding until they get homes of their own, not overseas or just a room rented.  I watched some "Hoarders" while I was cleaning today, and I never want to get that way, thus my resolve to start getting serious with the garage.  I have been pretty good in the house, except my sewing room, but even that is coming along.  Finishing a quilt can  make so much more room!

    Meece and Faith that's one of my new years resolutions is to get rid of so many things that I have cluttering up space in my house.  There are clothes and shoes that we haven't worn in years that need to go!  As for weighing in I'm with elimar!! gonna wait till after the new year.  haha!!  I have over indulged in junk foods sitting at home for the last week and a half.  Also add all the swelling in from the surgery and it makes for not a pretty picture on the scale.
