Revelations

Sep 11, 2007

Revelations. This weekend was full of a wedding and football.  My mom lives outside DC (far away) but it is on the same route that goes by the Old Neighborhood. It brought up a lot of old memories. The Parkland Bowling alley, where my mom & Dad were on a league Thursday nights. I had the run of the place at 10 years old. I was watching some adults & kids sitting on the stoop in front of the apartment building. Thinking I remember doing that. The apartments that Jim & I met in. The same ones my Nana and sister use to live in, way before I did. The smell of Honey suckles in the August afternoon as I would ride down Penn avenue. Just past the DC line. I felt kind of sad and grateful. The progress that has happened there still has hints of the old neighborhood and grateful that I am where I am now. Sometimes we have to look back to go forward.

PS I lost! I'm @ 185 now

The week from Hell!

Aug 24, 2007

This week, RA;s OAs, and our staff is training and new student orientation is happening. Meaning the kids are moving in and school starts next Wednesday. I was so tired on Wednesday I went home and by 7:30pm I was in bed! Thursday was better. I got to get to the rec center. I've started walking on the treadmill and yes I walk to the rec center. I got two days in where I did 5 miles YEAH! I had to go to Walmart and get some new sweat pants, Mine are falling off, HEHE, Walmart is the best, very cheap. between $10.00 and $15.00. got size 16.  Not bad,
I get tommorrow off, but have to work on Sunday. I knew this was going to happen , just didn't realize it would be this soon. One lunch I tried Chili. Bad idea~~~stomach cramps.not use to eating beans and ground beef.

a Yippie day!

Aug 20, 2007

I thought when I put on my pants this morning that I had gained weight because they a little tight for size 22. I couldn’t do anything about it till I got home way too busy at school, so I went to my PCP my BP was 113 over 73. He was so happy. Also since he last saw me I lost 38 Lbs. He took me off the BP med.
Yippee! 
Since I really haven’t been taken them anyway because it got too low on occasion, after surgery and I got dizzy.  So I went back to work got busy again but had a little time to walk a mile and a half. So after the walk I came back to change clothes and check my pants to my greatest surprise I pulled out my size 18 Chinos not 22
 
Another yippee!
 Then I got busy again, Got home put in my sports brain and found I had done 11, 546 steps (4.1 Miles)!! 
Major ……..YIPPEE!!!
I hope the rest of this week goes as well as today . Today is the unofficial start of the school year. The RA’s are in today and starting training along with the food service people and

 The Kids move in this weekend!
