D-Day+13 weeks, South Beach beachhead

The beachhead is secured.  The diet is going well.  I have, at one point, lost 30 pounds.  I have no idea where I am at right now.  Do you really think I brought the scale with me on vacation?  Lemme see….this week I have had fried shrimp, fried fish, french fries, rolls, baked potato, pasta, hamburgers,  key lime pie, several margaritas, ice cream….need I say more.  Yeah, I think I have gained some of the weight back.  Do I care?  Uhh…no.  Should I care?  Uh…no.  That was just on the first day too!  I am not bulking myself up for chemo, but I think I deserve to get off the wagon during vacation.  I will get back on when I am home.  Maybe I should rename the diet to the Dallas diet.  You only diet when you are in Dallas.  Good thing I work in Plano, live in Fairview…….

Tomorrow is a big day in this lymphomaniac’s life.  I will hopefully learn if UT Southwestern is on target or not.  My appt. is at 10, so therefore I show up at 8.  Two hours to fill out paperwork?  Wow.  Sounds absolutely thrilling.  I am hoping to catch a Southwest flight home at around 4ish, but who knows.  I have the room for Monday night if I need it.  Tonight I am having dinner with my Dad’s cousin.  We just call her cousin Di.  It is nap time now.  Safe driving, Debbi.
