Hey peeps, 
It's Friday again. I can't believe it's July next week! Well I weighed in this morning and I'm down 2 pounds so I'm now at 285. I'll take it. 

This week was pretty interesting. I got to go for a boat ride on Sat. with my sister-in-law & her hubby. My son (almost 2) pretty much drove the boat the whole time. I think he's going to be either a large equipment operator or a race car driver when he grows up. I walked a couple days and swam laps on Monday. I did 40 laps which is 7 more than 1/2 a mile. 

Wednesday we hooked up our '87 Alpenlite 22 foot fifth wheel camper and took it down to Beulah, ND and bought us a 2009 30 foot Wildcat with a loft room. Quite the upgrade! It's huge and I love the layout and the way it's decorated. So the last couple days we've been stocking it and prepping for this week-end. Today we're taking off for Pick City, which is on the south side of Lake Sakakawea by the Garrison Dam. We drove by there on the way to get the camper the other day and it looks so beautiful down there. I'm pretty excited to camp somewhere new in our new camper. I'll post pix of our old vs new camper next week. 

I almost forgot to mention something. My dad called the other night and said that he wants me to get my thyroid checked. He's been getting a bunch of tests done on his. First they thought there was a tumor in his neck, then thought it might be a goiter, but now think it's just a cyst. His mom had 1/2 of her thyroid removed, so the problems are hereditary. He thinks that it might be contributing to my weight problem. I guess we'll check it out and see.

Well, I hope everyone has a great week. I hope everyone's upcoming surgeries go smooth with a quick recovery. I hope everyone waiting to hear from insurance gets their approval letter. I also hope that everyone post-op gets the loss they're hoping for this week. Take care everyone. 

p.s., out of curiousity I thought it would be cool if people who read this 
e-mail me so I can see who I'm talking to. Pretty please?? Thanks!

Well, I weighed in this morning on my scale and I'm 287 today. I plan to lose at least 5 pounds each month before surgery, by eating less and avoiding "goodies". 
My parents are heading to Fargo for the week-end and are taking my daughter with. They're picking her up at noon today so it'll just be me and my son for a few days. My hubby's been working long hours at the fertilizer plant lately and rarely gets a day off, so I've been feeling like a single mom. It sounds like the 4th of July week-end will be the first time for us to get away and go camping. W'ell probably take off Thurs. night and have a nice long week-end. Sounds good to me! I'll post again next Friday. Have a great week everybody!   

I am SOOO excited!! I just called to check on insurance approval and it's a GO!! I then called my surgeon's nurse and we scheduled surgery for September 15th. I have all summer to prepare for the upcoming changes and I'm going to start by trying to lose 15-20 pounds before surgery. I'll post my efforts each Friday after weighing in, starting tomorrow. I can't believe it, I just want to cry, I'm so happy and greatful I got approved. Well I hope everyone else is having a good day! *PEACE, I'm out*

Hey all, I have been on here mostly the last couple days just looking at all the before & after pictures and checking out people's pages that really amaze me. I can't wait to become an after. I have my fingers crossed that I will hear good news from insurance within the week. I plan on surgery in September when my hubby will be able to take some time off to help me out. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I can't send them off to daycare while I heal. Wish me luck!
