It has been quite awhile since I have updated. I will be 9 years out in July of this year. I had a Dr. appointment last week to get my labs checked since it has been a few years since I have had them done. Everything was good except my Vit. D level was pretty low. Also I weighed in at 193 lbs. At my lowest I was 135 so I have gained back nearly 60 lbs. I was comfortable at 150lb but the past couple of years have been difficult. A lot has happened in my personal life and I just plain let myself go. I had an upper GI done just to see if everything inside was still OK and it was so they suggested I go back to basics. No drinking 15 min before, during or 1/2 hour after meals, high protein diet, more exercise and cut back the treats. I'm so mad at myself for letting it get this far. It was sooooooo easy to put that weight back on but it is a struggle to get it off. Time to take control of the one thing in my life that I have complete control over. I am bound and determined to get back down to a size 8. Now that the weather is getting better it makes it much easier to get out and exercise. I know what it is I need to do. I just have to have the will power to do it!
7 Years Already?

I lost my brother July 14 in a ATV accident. It has been a tough couple of months and I haven't been making a lot of good food choices not to mention the red wine. He was down syndrome and a very special part of our whole community. We miss him terribly but have been taking it day by day. The next couple of months are going to be especially hard. The first hunting season without him and our first Christmas without him. He always loved those times of the year and he will be missed so much.
Summer flew by as it always does and I'm not really looking forward to the deep freeze and snow. Hoping we can plan a family vacation this winter to get out of it for awhile but we will just have to see how things go. I quit my job in May of 2009 at the travel agency I was working for for 14 years and have now started my own home-based agency and it's a little slow off the get go but I am hoping now that it's cooling off people are gonna start thinking of vacations! I love being home for the boys when they get on the bus in the morning and off at night. Lance just recently stopped working out of town for the pipeline. Hard to believe he'd been on the road for 7 years. It's is good to have him home and be able to sit down and have dinner every night as a family. Also I know the boys missed him like crazy and he hated missing out on all their activities. So . . . . All in all life is good, we are dealing with the loss of Darren and living for the moment. I still think that GB was the best thing I ever did for myself. I don't know if I'd be here today if I had not done it. Good luck to all! Take care.

I heard back from my Dr. today and the tests they did last week on my gall bladder came back. He said it is not functioning properly and we should take it out. I meet w/him 10am Thurs. to schedule surgery. I thought I was thru w/surgeries for awhile but I guess NOT! Oh well . . .

Had my 4 year anniversary check up last week. My labs were all good and I weighed in at 148 lbs. I have been having some symtoms that he was a bit concerned w/so they are taking a look at my gall bladder next week to see if that needs to come out. Other than that all is well!
