TGIF Coffee Everyone !!!!
I'm freezing!!!!!!!!!!!!
My poor doggie. We got her in May and I have taken her for a walk every night since. Now that I'm so cold, I can't stand to even take her out around the block. Last night I was doing stuff around the house with my coat on and she thought it was time for a walk. I felt so bad!
Right now I'm in my office with my winter coat on and the portable heater going. I have to leave for lunch soon and I don't want to leave my warm little cave!
I just had to add this.....
I leave work everyday for lunch at 2:15pm so I can get my son off the bus and wait for the babysitter to come. Remember how I said I didn't want to leave my warm office?
Well I got home and huddled on the couch waiting for the bus. Then there is a phone call......my son's bus is BROKEN DOWN wayyyyyyy down the road and he is throwing a fit and banging his head. They say it's going to be "a while" before they get a mechanic out to fix the bus or another bus to switch the kids. Plus, the sitter can't get him out of his wheelchair so I have to take care of it before I can go back to work.
I had to RUN about 4 blocks, wait for them to HAND CRANK the wheelchair lift, and RUN home with Nick because he doesn't have a hat or gloves on. (He tries to throw them away when no one is looking!)
I wasn't expecting to run out of the house when I answered the phone so I left with no hat or gloves or anything. I feel like a human popcicle!! I guess that's what I get for complaining earlier!

Wow, what a wild, crazy, busy day here at school!!!! Makes a Friday FLY! Which is good. I finally got a chance to sit down and say HI!
End of the marking period is winding down, so I have lots of papers to grade this weekend. So, a snow storm is just what I need to keep me in the house!
I don't quite know what pushed me over the edge, so to speak. I looked into the surgery out of curiousity when we got our updated insurance handbook, one year. I noticed that they covered the surgery. I called U of M to see if they did it, but was surprised that they didn't. They have since started a bariatric program, though. I then called my insurance company and found out who was "IN NETWORK" and I went from there. Hubby and I discussed it and we decided to go forward with it. I visited a couple programs and decided to go with Hurley. That was three years ago.
The MAIN reason I even considered surgery was the fact that my weight was the BIGGEST obstacle in getting pregnant. I had lost about 100 pounds on MWLC about 3 years before I had surgery. I got pregnant and had a miscarriage. I maintained that weight loss for about a year, but about year after that, I had put the 100 pounds back on. I knew I couldn't continue that way, so I did MWLC again, but not with the same effects the second time around. I was going to the gym, dieting and nothing was happening. I tried that for another 6 months or so...then I just gave up. I had surgery in 05 and haven't looked back since. My family was nothing but supportive. Actually, nobody ever said a negative word about it to me. I was prepared to regale them facts and figures, if they did...LOL!

Good question Randy. Two things pushed me over the edge.
First, i was so weary of the constant craving for food-all I thought about from waking until bed time was what I could eat next.
And the second, really embarrassing thing )that I know others have experienced as well) was not being able to perform some of those "personal hygiene" kinds of things without contorting and holding my breath. To take a shower now and be able to wash everything, everywhere is such a treat. And I don't think I ever have to worry about walking down a hallway with toilet paper trailing from my skirt again.
Now, are you sorry you asked?

Hollaaaaaaa MIchigan!!! TGIF is right!!! Man I am so glad!!!
I am ready for a nice relaxing weekend!!
My breaking point was actually breaking something. I had been researching the surgery for 3 yrs prior to my surgery. I was at my cousins bday party and I went to sit in a lawn chair and busted it right in front of EVERYONE!!! At that point I realized- it is time to get some help and I did!!!
Have a great weekend all!
