First Blog

Jan 21, 2009

OK this is my first blog so I will try not to ramble on and on. I tend sometimes to get a little wordy- my father was a talker and my husband always says " Well you are your father's daughter! I was excited this morning when I put my weight in my weight tracker and I have actually lost 9 pounds instead of the 6 #  I thought I had lost!  Anyway, I have been journaling my food intake and trying so hard to watch what I put in my mouth, My husband and I have really been eating so much more healthier lately. So I do really feel like I am making some headway. I have been averaging riding my stationary bike about 25 minutes a day, well i do miss a day every once in a while. Can't wait to get my Lab band surgery date. I want to get so healthy so I can go back to work full time. I am a nurse and I work in  an outpatient surgery center, I do preop and postop care and absolutely LOVE it. 2 years ago I got pneumonia so bad, both lungs full. I was pretty sick and was almost admitted to ICU to be on a vent, but thank the Lord that did not happen, but i was in a progressive care unit and was monitored very closely, obviously I did get better, but have been hospitalized 2 more times with pneumonia and if possible seems to get worse each time. and had pneumonia another 2 times that did not require hospitalization.  I was off work so much that I had to take a PRN position( work only if they need me). my nursing director was great though and at least saved a job for me, another blessing from God. I have support at work for my surgery, my husband is really coming around with his support, he was leary at first, my son is actually dating a girl who has had GBS and is at goal so I have the support from them and my other son and his girfriend as well, And now I have the support of my OH family. God just contually blesses us all , Thank you God.  Well it is time for me to get my day started and do all those wonderful errands we love to do-- but hey, it  is movement. Maybe I will even go to the gym! I will let you know if I get that done. Well blessings and hugs to all of you! TWCAM!! ( together we can achieve more)  Cora ( sorry I guess I did ramble)
