Shedding my old skin

See my new pic, well thanks to Jane she found that picture for me. I had a busy week and didn't make time to blog. I had two Dr appts this week and my labs were good and not so good. I am low in A, D,iron and I'm hyperthyroid now instead of hypo. My Cholesterol was 131 and my LDL was 75. Which was unbelievable. I have taken Heart Health Omega III by Market America for so long that it has finally paid off. Since my gastric bypass I have lost 89 pounds to date and now only have 72 pounds to goal. Amazing!!

What have I done with my life?

Have I made it memorable and worthy? I was thinking this after I left a memorial service for a lady that my parents and I knew that passed from ovarian cancer. She was an advocate for childhood rape victims. Bringing peace and calmness to the hurting in a way that only Kathleen could do. When I pass, what will people say about me. I don't believe I am that memorable. I am sure that I have done things that people will remember, but do they have a lasting effect that will help someone in need. Maybe change they way they react in certain situations.

I realized that I don't want a sad memorial service, but a upbeat celebration of my life. I want bright ballons let go into the air afterwards. Our worship team to play the music that I love.

OK, done with that!

I had a fantastic birthday. I went shopping and bought a size 16 jacket that FIT!!!!. It's tight but I could get it on. I am now down 87 pounds!. Unbelievably, I only have 74 more to go. 30 to where I was when I got married soon to be 23 years ago. I am amazed every time that I step on the scale.

Happy Birthday To Me!

Yep, it's my birthday, well actually not until Sunday, I am celebrating all weekend. We took a road trip to Yorktown, Va to see my parents. We packed up the car with the fur-kids and an amazing amount of stuff (the trunk was full) and headed for Va. It takes us 6 hours if Gene drives and almost 7 if I do. Gene drove up, but I will be driving home on Sunday, he hurt his back. We will be eating SF banana pudding for my birthday dessert this year. I will post a pic in a few days. I will also let you know how good it was. I found some new protein today, will try to find it through my MA site and post a link so that all of you WLS buddies will be able to get it. Well, it's time to go. I'll be back later on.

Superbowl Sadness

Man Oh Man that was a great tight game! I was hoping that the Cardinals would pull it off! They need the protein drink that I have been using at night and after I work out. Torch After Burn, it tastes good and comes in Chocolate and Vanilla. I like the vanilla the best. Let me know if you try it and like it.

Have a Great Day.
