Well, it was my 6-month 'surgi-versary" this week - everything seems on track .. broke out of the stall from last month, lost a few more lbs, and back on another stall now ... and the dreaded and foretold hair loss has finally occurred. It's been falling out in great gobs for about a month now, every time I wash my hair, brush my hair, etc. It is very alarming to see all that hair, like every single day, in a pile in my hand or on the floor ... but really, overall on my head it doesn't look ...

A good time to go for a walk to get digestion under way!

One exception seems to be liquids - I seem to be able to get in quite a bit more at a time than I used to

The other ...

I wanted to share a couple of protein food ideas that I recently came across and totally love!

First one is a new product at Costco (new to me, in Canada) called Kodiak Cakes - Flapjack and Waffle mix. I was craving pancakes, and this ...

So, I was reading some forum posts, and a discussion about BMI came up. There's a number I haven't calculated in a while ... I plunked my numbers into one of those online jobbies and low and behold, I am now considered 'overweight' instead of 'obese'.
I've been 'obese' for as long as I can remember ... never thought I'd be thrilled about being 'overweight' - but there you go!
