Sleepless Nights
on June 25, 2007 12:52 am
I have been having sleepless nights somehow my sleep pattern is off. Anywho....its not 3:55 am in the morning Monday! i lost another 2 pounds. hooray.! I am still trying to eat 4 meals a day but i am not hungry. I know its because i have a little more energy also , thats why i cannot sleep as well. or it could be anxiety. I am no Dr. Phil. exercise now i have to exercise. okay here we go one, and two. bend streeeeectch. bend. boy iam out of breath already. i am just psychologically preparing myself again for it. thats the only way the weight will fall off. i know this been there done that before the surgery. and its true. but I have to face it. I can get lazy. but i swear , i do not want to fall into that mode. i have to stay focused about this. I have to. i know i will be alright. okay here we go . one and two and side to side. lift that leg!   .tootles.

Happy fathers Day.
on June 17, 2007 7:29 pm
I have to say Happy Fathers Day to all the daddies, I was sitting here thinking about my father god rest his soul. He was a tall and dark handsome man. He was a very well educated man. He also was a WW2 veteran. i remember when he used to take me to Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland when i was a little girl. i used to roll down the window and look at the big sherman tanks, boy they scared me. they was huge!. You know thats where I learned my art skills; from my daddy. I used watch him match colors. do blue prints. draw out designs of buildings. and paint portraits. 

Those was good old days you know. we ,may not have always seen eye to eye. but he was my daddy.  yes i did inherit the fat gene from his side of the family. lol. you know you back then he would give me 50 cents a week for allowences can you believe that, but it bought a lot of candy.lol. my father one day gave me ten dollars thats when i bought my first Jackson 5 album, i could have jumped out of my skin. You know being the youngest female of my family. Yeah i was a tad bit spoiled. why not kids are made to be spoiled to a point.

Regardless of our differences he still was my daddy. thank god he was in my life. it makes a difference. I could not have wished for better parents. Dad i still remember you in my heart. When fathers day roll around. i still say: Happy Fathers Day. I love you.

Your Loving Daughter'

on June 11, 2007 9:24 pm
Hey guess what i lost another 3 pounds this week  it is now 6/11/07. you know last week i was thristy as heck . beverages are staying in my system better. still have to get used to the protein thingy. not my favorite i admit. i been taking it easy. its been hotter than july so me and the heat does not mix well. but. i still have to get out in it. I have managed to keep fish in my stomach and salad. i was somewhat shocked. i have to eat 4 times a day. weather i feel hungry or not. it was suggested i do such. yes the vitamins trail. on the vitamins. yes that has to be done. its a must. well you know a nurse whom i saw a couple of weeks ago said . you seem much happier. i said, really? she said yeah i guess i struggled for a least 3 yrs to get this surgery. it was a monkey off my back. whew . but i made it. i never gave up the fight. never. this is the hardest thing i have to do. i still of course am not out of the woods because. i still have to work on emotional avenues. some things are going to be there regardless of the weight loss. just deal with it. I say. well i have to run tootles.
