Thank goodness Thanksgiving is over!!

Dec 01, 2009

OK so I have to say I am thrilled that thanksgiving is in the past, cant wait to get by the whole X-mas thing too. Love the holidays but whoever thought lets pack in as much food as possible during this one day...or in my case one weekend was just plain crazy!! I went out of town for the holiday visited my family and I can see why I got so darn big. I must say I was very disappointed in myself. I will list out the foods I remember eating on the fine day of Thanksgiving...Turkey, green beans, corn, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, bread, and even pumpkin pie...and yes I had whip cream on it too. What was I thinking??? I will tell you what I was thinking, I love food, and I will eat whatever I want - no one can stop me. So as you can guess I made myself sick (on more than one occasion during my holiday trip) I didn't exercise properly either. What a mess I have become. Well now I am done with that rant...I have decided to let it go, cant feel guilty forever, live and learn. I have started fresh today with proper portion sizes and healthy food, will be at the gym tonight and will make sure to do better in the future. I want to say this I will not make the same mistakes during X-mas, it is great to have fun and splurge but is another thing to treat your body so poorly.

So other than this last week things have been fairly good, I was at the doctors a while back for a lovely stomach scope and colonoscopy. I was having some side pains and blood in places that blood should not be, well after two days of fasting and a camera put in places I don't want to speak about, it turns out I have a stomach ulcer. Well, I have to say I was happy with this diagnoses, take a pill for the next 3 months and have a follow up, if only all life's problems could be solve in this way, right :).

So many of my OH  friends have just had or are having surgery this month and I want to wish them all good luck! My aunt also had the surgery almost two weeks ago, she is doing as well as can be expected this early out. I got to help her strip the drain and change her bandages when I was out of town...made me think back to all that has happened since my surgery. So many good and bad memories. I think the good has definitely out-weight the bad in the last year and I just want to say thanks to my favorite Texan, as he has put a smile on my face every day, even on those days that I don't want to smile. It is amazing how good friends can make you happy to be alive. My BFF is doing great too, I am amazed every time I see her...before you know it we will be borrowing each others cloths!

Well not sure if I have much else to talk about right now. Hope everyone out there in OH land is having a blast and enjoying everything life has to offer. Love ya all!
