These Boots Are Made for Walking

I am so excited!!!! Two-three weeks ago I went to Savers to look for some sweaters to go with the 20 pairs of jeans that I have been saving for the past 7 years. My plan is not to spend alot of money on clothes that I won't be wearing for long due to the quick changes that are happening. Anyways, anyone that knows me, knows that shoes are my enemy. I can never find any that fits right. Recently found a pair of cute mary-janes at Kmart that are now my (Sheri Shoes) that people will see on a daily basis. I love when I find Sheri Shoes( sorry went off topic).

I desperately covet the look of boots that are the current style right now. Alas my feet and calves don't agree and they just haven't been in the cards for me. Plus I can't afford to spend 100 dollars on boots when the holidays are around the corner.

Well, the store was calling my name and I decided to walk to the back of the store to the shoe section. I turn the corner and there is a pair of brown tall boots with a $6.99 price tag and they look like they have never been worn. "Oh my G-d they are my size" but are they going to zip? I get them on but the zipper only goes up to midcalf. That is what boot-cut jeans are for, to cover the part that doesn't zip. I am buying these boots because I know they are going to zip eventually.

So for the past three weeks I keep thinking about the boots in my closet waiting for me. This morning I think to myself," Sheri, put the friggin boots on and see what happens and if worse case happens the zipper still stays at midcalf."

I slowly start the zipper and realize it is going to go all the way up. I have had my first non-scale victory and now I am on the hunt for a skirt to go with my brown boots. Yeah me!!!!

Tomorrow and I'm on the (losers) Bench

So for the past two weeks Howie and I have been trying to get all the lingering projects done around the house. If anyone goes by my house they will see the purge job we have accomplished. The basement is clean and the garage and the house is in good shape.

I think that I have done all the laundry and then I go in my room and find two more baskets that I forgot about. At least that can be done today. Howie just needs to keep it up while I am gone.

Matt is alittle emotional that he doesn't want me to change. He likes me how I am. I guess I can understand that everyone likes a fluffy pillow to cuddle with. It is going to be ok though and he'll see the healther mom he gets in a few months.

The last part of our projects is very slow going though. We are ripping up the kitchen floor and the subfloor. I swear there is 100 nails in two floor sections. It is taking forever to get it up. I hope it gets finished today and I can leave knowing that Howie is not having to tackle the project alone.

Off to pack my hosital bag. Thanks for the prayers and well wishes.

One More Week

More than half way through the liquid diet. I admit it is not easy and your head plays some serious games on you. Thankfully I have controlled the urge not to implusively eat something. Like if I am making a sandwich for the kids not to grab a slice of cheese for myself. I didn't eat a piece of candy from the Halloween bags. I really want to surgery to go off without a hitch. So no cheating.

Last night we went to Friendly's for the NAJF fundraiser. I looked up the nutrician menu and found that I could have the apple walnut harvest chicken salad and it would have the same stuff that the lean cuisine has. I ordered it without the apples so the calories were even less. So i am pretty happy with my choice.

But it is bad to the routine today of shakes,water and the diet meal. Because next tuesday is my day. Hopefully Howard will keep people updated if they want over facebook. Have a great day everyone.
