Gonna share a NOT weight loss related item.
My oldest got her official diploma from college. How can I make this FS related. Um...
Since she’s in Washington State we are doing a FaceTime meal with her. We are going to cook the same things at the same time. (Well, to be honest, I’m gonna watch my husband and littles cook with her while I do the difficult task of phone holding and reading ingredients).
We often forget that when our kids hit these major milestones that we were on that journey with them.

Let this be a lesson...
DO NOT fall off of a roof. It’s not all that fun. I mean, I know it sounds cool, but it’s kinda painful. Yep, braces on both upper legs and a brace around back for spinal support. This may actually hinder my workouts but not my woe. So cup half empty, cup half tears sort of deal. I actually was in pain and laughing at myself in the ER. How could I not?! I think I injured myself to support Erq. I didn’t want her to be the only one who hurt herself. Just thinking of you, dear lady. I’m just gonna roll with that excuse. Solidarity. 🙌 Lol
So what positive(s) can I take away from this? A few, actually!
1. My kids think it’s super cool that I remind them of an Avenger.
2. I fell AFTER I removed the heavy branch from my roof. My husband was super frustrated that I didn’t have him do it. (I did it while he was at work).
3. It could’ve been way worse.
4. The nurse in the ER (I was there 12 hours) went and bought me a Pumpkin Spice Latte! It was so sweet and totally unexpected. She said it was a thank you for being so patient (ha) and nice even with having to wait. ER was kinda full. She said I was the nicest person she had all day. That made me feel good. They have a hard job.
5. The braces were a small/medium. They brought in a medium/large and the doctor said it was way too big. Hey, that’s a cool NSV.
6. I’m weighting at 148 with clothes and braces on. 😬 I already know it means I’m still losing a small amount or, at very least, maintaining.

Stay tuned for more completely unneeded insights on what not to do!

To do skin removal or not. That is the question.
(Just my two cents & takeaway from my experience.)🤓👇

Skin removal is NOT a weight loss surgery or a quick fix! If those things are in your head when you’re considering the procedure, don’t do it!
Will you lose some weight after having some skin removed? Yes. Duh. (But don’t expect some dramatic scale drop. You’ll be bummed out). Are results immediate? Yes. Duh. Skin was removed for goodness sake.
It does not make it either one of those things, though.
I worked hard to get where I’m at. Physically and mentally. I developed the right tools. I implement those tools daily.
My skin simply lacked the elasticity to bounce back. Prior surgical procedures AND I lost a lot of weight so being with the VA, it was offered. It’s their dime so what the heck?! BUT this is not a free pass. I have to continue to workout and do well to maintain this. If I don’t, I’m right back to square one with no option for another such procedure because my skin is thinner which can lead to breakdown. And it would’ve been a big waste of time which would lead to regret. Two things I have low tolerance for is wasted time and regret.

I have heard plenty of people talk like abdominoplasty is a trick to “lose fat”. Again, I don’t suggest you consider a procedure like mine if you’re looking for an easy way out. Take into account your recovery time, your eating patterns, your activity, your overall health. If you’re looking to remove a good deal of extra lax skin and everything else is on point...
Go for it.
I don’t regret it at all.
Just do your research.
I put in the work. I didn’t cheat the system.
I simply enhanced the hard work I’ve done and now I have a flatter tummy free of hanging skin. I had A LOT of progress prior and I’ll have A LOT of continuing progress. And for those who have some negative nonsense to say about skin removal procedures...
Oh well. It’s not your body. It’s mine. Don’t want to do a procedure like this..
Um, don’t. No one is asking you to or making you. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Okay I know this looks less than appetizing, right now.
This is my homemade salsa. I throw it in the food processor after. It actually gets hotter in a few days.

Didn’t feel like running but didn’t want to be lazy so opted for over an hour of brisk walking with some incline throughout. Weights later.
