Tang... and other Ray's of Sunshine!


Well, I figured that I would add another photo of one of my fruity standbys... I don't know which of you love breakfast juices... Orange juice or what not? Anyway, almost everything I drink has 0 calories except my Sugar-free Tang. It is delicious! but it has 5 calories... which my doctor says is close enough. Don't get me wrong, my protein drinks have 170 calories but they are more like a meal replacement not a beverage. I have been doing ok these last 2 days... even though i am on my TOM... which is good as far as tightness goes. I have been making good choices as well and walking every day too. I am pretty sure that when I go to my Doctor's office next (September 2nd)... I will finally be in THREEDOM and never see 400+ on any scale again. Yippee! As for other news, Amy W. (Once upon a time... in the land of cheese and Sunkist) has made me a facebook star by quoting one of my corny little sayings on one of her always witty status updates... Just when you think she can't possibly get any cooler, she takes her sunshine and shines all over you. Still corny, right? but true. She's a ray of sunshine and even after all the weight she's lost, luckily she kept her funny bone, just like I hope to. I am looking forward to meeting Grace (from Grace's Fat Chance) this week... She is a huge Harry Potter Fan whose coming to O-Town to experience the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal's Islands of Adventure. I am excited to meet her. My Aunt Donna and her family are coming to Disney this week too, My Aunt is less than 5 years older than me so we are very close like sisters... so I can't wait to spend some time with them, too. I hope to not have a stuck incident with them since they live 1000 miles away, they haven't seen any of the downfalls to my banding... only the weight loss.... Let's keep it that way. I don't want everyone to be afraid to break bread with me, do i?

  6. Man I used to love Tang. When I was a little tike I would suck that stuff down day and night. I might have to try the sugar free version.

    I'm SOOOOO jealous of you and Grace getting to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter :-(, but I do hope you have fun!

    Amy does rock like no other.

    Enjoy your time with your Aunt and have a great weekend!!

  11. Thank you for your comment on my blog tonight. I am a Follower of yours too, however, due to our problems, I have been way too busy working with what we are going through, to have time to really read or comment on blogs lately, however, I do intend for that to end soon!!!

    Then I will become the model blogger again, I promise!! Our BK is finalized and our Foreclosure should be finalized by the end of the year, causing us to then have to move out. Such drama! LOL But eventually, my life will get back on track, and I will be fully blogging again.

    You are doing fantastic though!! 74 lbs in 5 months!!! Keep it up, I am sure that you will be in the 300's VERY SOON!!

  12. Good luck on the hitting the 3s. Your success is really inspiring. 74lbs is nothing to sneeze at. You have shed my nephew. I get excited when I move into a new decade on the scale. I have not had a century milestone ever--well except in the wrong direction. Celebrate with some Sugar Free Tang. My how times have changed for us, huh?
