Well, it looks like the days of our "Indian Summer" are over and our Fall is starting to look like winter. We are experiencing cold winds, rain, and snow today. This Summer I have been spending a lot of effort getting in shape for long distance, sustained walking. I will ...

June 2008

I am so excited! I have been at my goal weight for the last month. Our support group has begun a walking program (it started in May), but so far, the constant thunder storms have made my routine somewhat erratic. I'm really motivated to get into better shape because I will ...

April Snows???

If April showers bring May flowers, what does April snow bring?? It is finally warming up again, so maybe we can begin to enjoy Spring. I've been busy putting together a walking program for my support group. I will be going to Israel in November and there will be a lot ...

March 3, 2008: Today my doctor had to take .2 cc's of fluid out of my portal (that's the first time I've had that happen). I guess that means that my band is as "full" as it can get without having problems. I was having severe acid reflux after each meal and also at ...

I wish everyone a Happy and Blessed New Year. I have finally reached that milestone of loosing over 100 lbs!!! I also got around to setting up my group site (called "Healthy Life Journey"). Check it out if you get the chance.

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is able to make wonderful memories this Christmas with family and friends. I have an added incentive to "be Good" this year. I just reached the 100 pound mark for weight loss and I don't want to mess that up!

Happy ThanksGiving!

Things are beginning to get back to "normal". I spent last week cleaning out the garage. It was a lot of work, but it feels GREAT to have it finished. I hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving with family and friends. Remember to eat healthy and fill up on turkey instead ...

Fall Update

Tue, 23 Oct 2007 22:09:00 -0700

I'm really overdue for an update. In general, things are going well in Nebraska. Our support group is growing, and yet is still small enough to allow us all to still talk like friends when we get together. I have one more pound to lose to reach the 100 pound ...

Spring Post

I'm enjoying the warmer weather. I've been walking my dog again, and building up my distance. After such a hard winter, it is so great to see all of the green grass and the buds on the trees. I hope the increase in exercise will boost my metabolism. My weight ...

February's Post

Tue, 06 Feb 2007 00:53:00 -0800

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! I haven't even gotten used to the idea of being in 2007, let alone realizing that January is already over. Is anyone else struggling with emotional eating right now. I think I have cabin fever. I haven't been able to get out and walk the dogs due ...
