  Greetings!  Surgery took place April 22, 2008.  I am excited, to say the least, to finally have found what it takes to lose the excess weight that I have carried for about 25 years.  I've lived in Louisville most of my life.  Married to my sweetheart whom I first met when we were four years old!!! I'm enjoying being on the boards and looking forward to great weight loss surgery success.

Movin' right along-sorta

 This is how I feel some days! On Feb.24, I driving down the road, minding my own business, when I was hit but a small white truck.  My car was totaled.  I spent 6 nights in the hospital, had 2 surgeries on my right ankle and am definitely on the mend.  Yahoo!  Hopefully, will start walking again next week.  Physical therapy, patience & a lot of continued prayers should get me back to normal.  I miss so much being able to go to the gym.  Trying to get some stretching & upper body basic exercises in even now.  What have we learned from this experience???   Losing the pounds is important, but we must not neglect the body.  Get it in shape, keep it in shape.  Take nothing, expecially your health & your family, for granted. 
Trying to keep the portions small & the food choices wise.  Thankful for DH help since he is now the chief cook around here.  Peace.

End of January 2011 Update
on January 31, 2011 1:49 pm
 Well, here we are at the end of January.  Only 13 weeks until we go on our 3rd cruise- sure would like to lose 10 pounds by the 1st of May! That would put me down to 186 and that's my goal between now and then.  Just getting over a terrible bout with flu and can't wait to get back into the gym.  Ups & downs, fills & unfills and s-l-o-w progress.  Here's to a great and successful 2011!

Much has happened since I last posted.  Got down to 188, was extremely tight, has an unfill, put on about 15 pounds, but NOW, TODAY, I'm back on the Band Wagon.  Retired from teaching in June and LOVE it!  A trip to the Smokies in July, a cruise in August and another cruise scheduled for later this year.  I will NOT put back on any more weight.  I WILL start going in the right direction.  Blessed beyond measure, I've come too far to turn back now.

Walking in a Winter ONEderland
on December 5, 2009 7:01 am
Finally, I've reached that long awaited goal- this morning I weighed in at 199.0 pounds.  Glory!!! After being so close for sooooooo long, I cannot believe how great this feels.  Just ate 1/2 egg & cheese omelette and I'm pretty full- that's on top of decaf coffee and chai latte.  Oh, the frustration of the last year, but oh, the joy and motivation I have now.  I so wanted to be in Onederland before Dec. 27, our 40th wedding anniversary, and here I am.  So thankful for friends and family support.  So thankful for Dr. Allen and staff.  So thankful to God for His many blessings in my life.  Thankful not only for what He's done but for Who He is.  Haven't been this light since 1985.  It's time- and there's more goals to reach, more weight to lose, more life ahead.

Closing in on Onederland
on July 13, 2009 10:17 am

OK, here I am almost to the middle of July.  One thing I've learned in the last 15 months:  Goal setting is fine, but simply sticking with the Plan ( getting in the protein, water & exercise + eating small healthy portions) is the way to go for me.  The scale says 200.6 and that's after a week's vacation in Miami, home of Cuban bread and flan.  I'm keeping on keeping on and do fully expect to make it to Onederland before school starts- August 13.  Size 18 is getting too big and my wedding band & engagement ring are sliding off so, I now am wearing my mother's wedding ring as a ring guard (it just now fits on my ring finger).  I'm so blessed!!! The Journey continues...
