Happy Halloween

Well today is Halloween and I am taking Katie trick-r-treating tonight. She is dressing up as a pirate puppy. This was her choice. She will look very cute. This is the first Halloween since my surgery and I am ok with not eating candy. Of course I would like to eat the whole bag of reese candy that is downstairs but I am not having a hard time not eating it.

This week has been hard for me because I have been missing Andy during the day and still have not job prospects. I just hope I find a job soon.
Well that about it for now.
Have a good day

Still Here

I am still here just haven't posted for awhile. Katie and I went to CA for the weekend a few weeks ago to visit my family. Everyone said I looked really good with all the weight lose. Katie loved being with her tutu. Of course there was family drama involving my dad and brothers. Thank god I don't live there anymore. The airplane flights where fine for Katie but sucked for me. I hate flying! But it was great to go back and visit.
I found a really nice winter coat at Target in Rohnert Park and it was only $49. I wore it yesterday when it snowed, yes it snowed. Katie has not seen snow before so we went out but it was so damn cold. It was a very early snow storm here in NJ. It made me realize that I have no winter clothes at all, nothing warm. I was freezing all day. I am freezing all the time now anyway because of WLS but with the snow I was super cold.
Andy started his new job on Monday. He loves it and I am so glad he is working again but I really miss him and so does Katie. He was home for 3 months and we were together all the time. So it is hard not having him around. I am lonely and getting depressed a little bit. I have been looking for a job myself for a few weeks and can't kind one. I interviewed for a great job last week at a credit unoin but found out on monday that i didn't get it. This made me cry because I wanted this job. So I am pretty disappointed.
I am down to 213lbs, this is good. I want to be under 200 by the time mom visits in Dec. I am still struggling with not snacking or eating to much. It is hard because I am home all the time and there are so many f-ing snacks in this house. But I am trying. I also have to start walking again.
Thats it for now.

New York City

My MIL gave Andy and I free tickets to The Phantom of the Opera in NYC for yesterday. We want and had such a great time. It was amazing to see a musical on Broadway. It was a good show, the actors were awesome. But more important we were in NYC. For the last week I have been saying to Andy that I want to go to NYC so it was great that we went. It was great being in the city. I want to move there but of course we won't. We took the train from New Brunswick and I have never taken a train before. It was ok, I got a little sick but it passed. Then we just walked alot. I didn't get tired at all. Since I have lost so much weight it was easy to walk so much. I also felt like I looked good. Andy eat a hot dog, pizza, and a pretzel. We also ate at Applebees on 42nd st. It was so much fun. I bought some things from a street vendor. I am going to give some of it to my mom when Katie and I go for a visit next weekend. It was just great to be alone with Andy for the whole day. We got along so well. It was nice. I would like to go to NYC every weekend but we don't have that kind of money. It was the best day in a long time!

Other news, I have a job interview the day after I get back from California. I will be tired but that is ok. It is in Princeton and I think I could do that job great.

Have a good day
