I Miss my Best Friend
on March 19, 2008 6:10 pm
I havent had a chance to post this but, 3 weeks ago i lost my bestest friend in the whole world, my grandma rose, she had a sudden stroke on the night of 2/23 and passed away on 2/27, i feel like she took me with her, im so lost without her, everytime i'd call her (up to 5x a day!) she'd giggle and say "Hi, my Dolly!" i knew it was you calling me! we could talk about anything for hours and hours, every family gathering i would ask her to be my "date" and she'd laugh and say Yes of course i will! we did everything together, she became a widow 50yrs ago so now she dancing with my grandfather again, and watching over me as my Angel...

100 LBS GONE!
on February 23, 2008 12:14 pm
Today i wieghed myself and i made my first personal goal of losing 100lbs, i still have a ways to go to meet dr aranow's goal but ill get there.

I feel so better knowing that my blood pressure and chol are down, pretty scary ride i was on last year, im happy im now taking care of ME and living a better life!

In March ill have my 6mth check-up and lab work done, i hope my iron levels are normal, they where on the low side before, and as far as my hair loss...well i guess its going through its course, its just hair right?

Not too much else going on here, other than its snowing! 

Live, Laugh & Love

80 lb update
on January 12, 2008 5:40 pm
oh yeah thats what i said 80 lbs gone forever !!

my new yrs resloution was to work out a little more, so i started going to the gym, i was getting bored with just walking on the threadmill at home. 

my friends at work are coming along too, so its nice to have work out buddies, esp when you get stuck on the hip/thigh machine !!!! lol lets just say im now ready to have children !! lol 

on the down side of things, my hair is falling out like CRAZY! god i hope it stops!!

i also came up with a new protein shake, 3ozs of dannon light n fit yogart, 4 ozs skim milk and half a scoop of protein powder, vanilla whey from gnc, and 3-4 ice cubes....blend it all up and on my way to work i go ....i still hate drinking them, but i have no chocie in the matter.

thanks for visiting my site!  Kisses Kisses
