I survived...

The variety show was a hit! I'm glad it's over, but I am still struggling with the post show let down. I finally know all my songs perfectly and it's over. It's so much preparation for 2 nights of performance! Oh well, it was a blast, I'm glad I did it and I'm glad it's done!



This is a comparison shot of "Babs & Tessie" the tacky lounge singers, also known as the

Trailer Park Troubadours, we have a recurring part in the show each year. I can definitely see a difference in my fluff factor from last year (left) to this year (right).


We have a professional photographer who takes shots during our production, when we get those I'll share them with you.

I got tons of complements about my weight loss, in fact one of the guys in the show said his friend thought that someone else was playing my part until I started singing and he recognised my voice. It was a nice change to feel normal.

My de-fill is still going fine. My weight has been fluctuating a bit since then, but I'm sure it's from all the wine from the weekend and late night eating during the show. I still feel like I did the right thing getting some taken out. I still have restriction although not as much. If I do what I'm supposed to do, I'm sure I'll find that I'm in the right spot. I did get stuck and PB'd a couple of times this weekend, but I think it was a combination of nerves and trying to eat too quickly.

I don't have much to report. I'm a little behind on comments, I've been reading, but haven't had much time to really catch up. Let me know if I missed anything major. I hope you all have a great day!
Big Hugs,
T

That is so neat! And you look amaz-licious!

And I bet you're right about the nerves and such. I bet now that you're back on 'routine' the weight will drop.

Glad you had a great time!
