Girls night out was so much fun. We got good coaching, we talked, we bonded, and we had a great time. No . The retreat was held and the Hilton Garden Hotel in uptown Charlotte. There challenges in getting there and getting situated. Uptown Charlotte can be so confusing. However it was so worth it.   We will be planning more events to come closer as a group. We are open to suggestions. We are getting together something for THE WALK FOR OBESITY, which is in September of this year and any suggestions are help you want to provide please contact Velda.   We have two group members that will be having their surgery with in the next month. Let’s keep them in prayer.

I was called for the very first time ever.  It was exciting and boring all at the same time.  I got to watch 2 movies and get in so much needed reading.  I had a wow moment.  They had these chairs that had a little retractable desk.  It reminded me of the desk we had in high school.  At any rate I sat down and pulled that little desk in front of me and completed my paperwork.  Then it hit me there was a time when I would not have dreamed of doing that.  I looked around the room and there were others who didn't try to lift the little desk, some tried and it would not fit over their stomach es, and there were those skinny B's that didn't think twice about it.  Having WLS has changed my life, my thoughts, and everything about me.  I pray that I can be a support to others along my life PATH.

I can't believe that it's been 3 weeks since my last post.  Well, I have been going to the gym and working out but no weight loss, but I feel great.  Me and Velda were featured in the presentation with Collen Cook (wow) this week.  I feel so great.  Also on Sat we were on a panel of 4 post op patients that told our story and presented a pin of appreciation to.  This event was held at the University Hilton.  We missed you all there.

I went to the YMCA after work today.  t was great I did an hour on the elliptical machine.  I saw a group of people doing the Zumbia class. I wanted to join soooo bad.  I found out that it is held every Thurs at 6:30pm.  Well, now you all know where I will be on  Thursdays.  And for those who was at the Freedom Park event.  They was playing my song.  Yes you named it Beyonce.  They was wrong for that. 

I woke up, but didn't walk.I have figured out when I can work out.  So far I think it can be done when I get off at 6pm.  I was not feeling well today.  I feel very encouraged about doint it tomm.  I was able to get in some protein but I have not been able to eat all day.  I did finally get some soup in.  Good night.

I had a great time today at the support group event.  The weather held up and it was beautiful.  We had a trainer there.  He gave great information and gave us tips on how to change our mind and spirit to change our bodies.  The food was great, lots of bariatric friendly foods.  We did the cha-cha slide and my fav. the cupid shuffle. 
I look forward to hearing from you guys.  My journey this week has been rocky.  I have woke up every morning at 5am but i have not made it to the gym yet.   I plan to make this week.  Please keep me in prayer to give me the strength I need to go.

I did get up this morning at 5:40 but i didnot make it to the gym.  I guess I'm still in the practice mode.  But I am proud that I woke up on time.  Maybe Tomm.  Tell me whats up with you guys.

Lets get this party started.  I check this page to see if we are talking to each and  we are not. What was the most exciting thing you have done today?  What challenges  did face this week?

Well, I changed my hours for work changed and I have not been able to fit my workout into it yet.  I can get up at 5:30 am to do it, but I set the alarm clock every morning and so far I've turned it off every time.
