Save the date.......

You are cordially invited

to witness the loving separation 

of

Karen 

and 

her wobbly bits

on Friday the 17th day of June, 2011

from 7:00am - 3:00pm

in the surgical suite

Performed by:

Dr. Daniela Rodriguez

Refreshments being served:

liquid Vicodin

Morphine, via pump

assorted antibiotics

Act One:

Excisement of "flying squirrel" arms

Act Two:

Hoisting up the girls... no air bags needed!

Chorus will sing "I lift my eyes to you, world!"

Act Three:

Tightening of six-pack, 

including:

a sad adieu to 

"chat assis sur la lune" or

Cat sitting on the moon,

body art, circa 1995

added bonus:

Vag Lift

That is correct, I said Vag Lift. Cuz, apparently, I need one. My goodness. Who knew?

I will be sharing pix, so if you're afraid of wobbly bits, or saggies that go bump in the night, you may want to leave this little-bitty corner of the world for a while, as I don't want to offend :)

But...... if you're ready for the pix.... I'm ready to start taking them! I will have hubby take some this weekend.

So now.... I must get myself a few tickers, because I would also like to be exactly 175.5 on the day of surgery. Sayin' it out loud!

Doctor said she likes people within 20 pounds of their goal weight, and I'm there now, but I'd like to be ON THE MONEY, so to speak.

I have 127 days to lose exactly 21.3 pounds

That's 18 weeks, and therefore, I need to lose 1.16 pounds/week to make this goal

OK.... it's out there. 1.16 pounds/week or BETTER

Now... I do need an opinion: Do I do crazy workouts, to separate further fat from muscle...... or...... do I tone like crazy? Which to do?

In summary:

I'm scheduled in June for arm lift, boob lift, tummy tuck with muscle tightening (oh, and low-profile port modification)

I want to lose an additional 21.3 pounds before scheduled surgery.

Cost?

$17K on the nose

Insurance: You're kidding me, right? Not a dime.
