So I thought I'd update.....

Back in July, a few days before surgery, I posted my mini goal list:

I can cut my toenails and not run out of breath (the week before vacation I cut my toe nails and didn't even think about it)

get on an airplane and actually pull my seatbelt tight, instead of hoping I don't have to ask for an extender (going on vacation and traveling to Orlando, I fit in the sit, and pulled my seatbelt tight!  Woo hoo)

being able to go to the bathroom in said airplane...I don't ask for #2, but just to pee and wipe without acrobatics, since I can't get my legs open enough to get my hand in for a wipe (yup, was able to pee, wipe and pull up clothes....no problem)

Speaking of #2, while out and about, not choosing the handicap bathroom so that I can actually wipe (haven't had the need, but was able to change my clothes in a regular stall at the airport, with suitcase inside stall....so I'm sure going #2 will be ok....heeeeeeeeeeee)

being able to shop anywhere on the planet for clothes, and not spend a week in travel clothes because my luggage was lost and there is not a store in the country that caters to the "plus size"

going to a restaurant and not worrying if I'll fit in the booth, or if the hostess will try to sit me in a booth just to see me struggle, to finally rest my breasts on the table.

looking down while standing up and seeing my toes (yup, this I was able to do about 4 weeks out of surgery)

being able to use my lap as a lap.....not like some weird ill stable table (I have a lap!)

having my boobs no longer be my crumb/drip tray  (I no longer eat huge amounts, and my boobs aren't as big...no more crumb tray)

crossing my legs

I am now adding to the list:

• Run a 5K non stop
• Get a very cute business suit
• Lear to accessorise

Thanksgiving was fun, we cooked, and cleaned and I was able to eat all the holiday fare without feeling stuffed.  I haven't weighed in, I'll weigh in on Friday.  But I feel good.  I have been fighting a terrible chest cold, so I haven't been at the gym as much as I'd like.....but, this afternoon....back to spin, and tomorrow back to my 5K training.....


Tree is up, and let the Holiday Season begin!
