Again with the long time between updates. I guess in this stage of the process, there isn't much to update on. I'm either losing weight on the supervised diet or I'm not. I'm not. Oh well, that's why I'm looking into the surgery in the first place, if I could have stuck to Weight Watchers for long periods of time, I would have by now. I have gained and lost the same 10 pounds over and over during the last 6 months. I will say, I am in much better shape than before, that's thanks to the gym, and I'm definitely a 4x now, in tops. So it's not all bad.

This past weekend we went to Kitty Hawk to see the Wright Brothers Museum and Memorial. That was really cool. I was able to walk all over that place, from one end to the other, including the really tall hill that the Memorial is on top of. I was proud of myself, a year ago, I couldn't have done that. More evidence the gym stuff is paying off, I suppose.

It looks like I'm nearing my 6 month end. I have 2 months with WW and 4 months with the Nutritionist, 6 months of gym logs, and 6 months of Dr. visits from Virginia, 4 from here. My insurance company says that the Dr. visits don't have to be concurrent with the gym and exercise attempt, so at the end of this month we're going to submit. I'll continue to do the visits until I get approval, in case they don't want to take my Virginia notes or the 2 months of WW for some reason. I am getting excited now, it could happen before the end of this year.

As far as general life goes, it has it's good days and it's bad ones. The boys are doing well. My older son is doing well in school and football. My younger one is also doing well and developing an interest in writing and poetry. It's neat to see them developing interests and growing into young men. Other things have good days and bad days, but I have to keep pressing on towards the prize.

That's all I have for now. God is good, all the time!! All the time, God is good!!
