So, major life change...

... at the time you're reading this, I'll be prepping for weight loss surgery. In Tijuana. As of this evening, I will have had 80-85% of my stomach removed in a VSG (vertical sleeve gastrectomy). 

I know there's going to be a ton of questions, and instead of saying the same thing a billion times, I'm writing it here. And, I'll be honest, I'm not too sure how people will react to this - so far, everyone has been supportive, but I KNOW I have people in my life who won't understand.

  Please read this... I'm listing every possible question and my answer. 

CPAP machines... the real monster by the bed!

Remember when our parents used to tell us there are no monsters in your room and just go to sleep? Well, at almost 30, I'd disagree... those of you who talk to me regularly know this particular week has been awful health-wise. And the way I'm trying to help myself almost feels like it will do me in.

Photo Challenge

Happy New Year!

Holy crap, I know - going from posting every 2 months to 2 in 2 days? Craziness, I know. But I've decided for a resolution of sorts: a photo of the day challenge. I know that there are a lot of them out there, but I want to create my own. Why make things easy? :) 

I want to take more photos: I keep not finding time to take full shoots and edit. Maybe now that I don't mind my phone camera, I'll take some more routinely... which may/may not lead to more actual photos. This is why this blog was created in the first place 2 years ago!

I won't post the photos on here, I don't think (I tried that before, but that failed. Horribly.) So, I'll be posting on instagram - username ali254 if anyone wishes to view. I don't think I'll post on Facebook all the time, but probably on twitter (username alimusicgeek).

Here goes nothing!
