Surgery Recovery

Hi everyone!

The good news is that my surgery is over and done with and that I'm back at home. Everything went great. My scar isn't as gruesome as you would think (although, I could still pull off being the Bride of Frankenstein for Halloween) ;)

I have been in some pain but luckily I have pain meds for whenever I need them.  Now we play the waiting game. I get the results some time next week.  Apparently, they mass on my thyroid was HUGE and they needed to send it to the lab to test whether it was cancerous or not.  What they do from there, I'm not too sure.  I guess I'll wait and see.

I'm still kind of slow getting up and around so there will still be no Etsy updates until I feel better. It's upsetting because I have so much more to post!  Not only that, but I'm ready to go thrifting NOW! :)

I get tired easily, so off to rest I go....Thanks for all your well wishes and prayers!

Love to everyone!

Manic Monday

Here we are again....Monday.  After a fantastic weekend with my hubby, I've got to get back into the swing of things here at the house.  I have a little over 3 months until my trip to Costa Rica to see my family. I realized it's time to get down to business with  my weight loss. I've put it off long enough.

My plan is to start back at the gym (which I did this morning) and limit my calorie intake.  I've done it before (for my wedding), so I know I can do it again. I just lack motivation. I know that a vacation should be enough motivation for anyone, but it really hasn't been.  For my wedding, I was completely focused. I never cheated once....I was very proud of myself.  I wish I could get that focus back.  Well, I just know that I'm going to try my hardest. If I can lose at least 5-7 lbs per month, that would be awesome.  We'll see and I'll let y'all know how my progress is going.

I swear, this is what my scale says when I get on! lol
