My main goal is to become healthy. 150lbs.

Not much going on lately.   I thought that I'd update my blog since last time - back in June !!  I know - I'm bad.......but I work most of the time and don't remember to get some things done that I should.  Looking back on my surgery date and beyond......I'm going to regret not keeping better logs of whats been happening to me on what date !!    I'm 9 months out and well - I just can't believe that I am 3 months way from being out 1 year already !!

I don't get much time for ME - lunch periods during the week is full of running home to pick up daughter for work and getting her to work and then getting back to work in 1 hour.......  soooooo I have planned some trips and hopefully the budget can take the gas woes !! 

I have finally gone back to a full schedule of 3 jobs - working about 70 hours a week between the 3 jobs.  The next few weeks will be less than that because I actually have plans to go to OKC during the weekend of 8-8 thru 8-10-08 (just before my B-day) and I'm gonna go spend much needed time with family and church friends.  I can't wait.

Since scheduling that time for ME - I decided that on Labor Day weekend, since John is off work back to his Sundays / Mondays, I am going to go to Llano, TX to spend the holiday weekend with him.  I didn't realize how much I missed him until I actually decided that this is what I'm going to do -  now I'm anxious and really excited - all except for the drive back and forth for both the OKC and TX trips !!  3 hours............to OKC and then about 4 hours to Llano - depends on which map I guess you follow.   Who knows !!  I'll figure it out when I get there !!  lol

I'm looking forward to the WLS / July 26th BBQ at Stephanie's house in Rowlett.  Thats coming up really fast.   Daughter is off work that day - so I don't have to be anywhere at any certain time !!   WHEW !!  :)
The outing to the Rangers Game on 8-23-08 and contemplating a trip to 6-flags all day earlier in the day that day just to be with people that I love and can be ME with and they won't judge me for being still overweight, etc and whatever things come up on that day.   I'm worried about NOT being able to fit in the seats in some of the rides, having to be humiliated and then getting out of the line when I realize that I can't FIT IN THEM STILL !!  grrrrrrrrrrrr.............  That still hurts mentally and I will never forget that !

I have been on a 2 month stall and on the Monday Morning Weigh in on 7-14-08 - it finally broke.  I was down 5 lbs.  I'm getting in about 104 oz of fluids including Atkins Shakes for protein, etc........so I'm really excited about that and my energy level has seemed to recovered  from my April Sicknesses and has really blossomed once again.  WHOOO HOOOO !!
I weighed in this morning 7-18-08 and have lost another 2 lbs. - I'll take it !!

I actually am getting to the point where if I can't get my excercise or walking in - I feel really guilty and down and out about it.  I've been about 1 1/2 weeks without getting to the gym and/or any walking other than in the office............I JUST GOTTA DO IT FOR ME AND NO ONE ELSE !!  MAKE THE TIME OR ELSE !! 

That's all that is happening lately with me and whats coming up.....Thanks for checking in on me.    xoxoxox (((hugggsss))))
