2 Years Ago...Wow!

Sep 19, 2009

So, I can't believe it's really been 2 years to the day I was at the hospital beginning this journey, and now I am truely a different person.  I have confidence, my health is better, and I feel great.... I need to quit smoking again, but other than that I'm doing well!  Thank you all for the support over the years!  I truely appreciate it and needed it through the rough times and the depression moments when I didn't know if I had made the right decision.  I know I did and I wouldn't change a thing about my decision to have surgery.  Life is still rouch at times and I know this will never change, but time will tell and taking it a day at a time is how I do it.  So, for now I will say thank you again and please keep the emails coming and check out the new pictures.

One Step at a Time...I can do it!

Jun 14, 2009

So, I have done it before I know I can do it again.  I quit smoking after surgery for 5 months, than after my car accident started up on the side of the road!  I didn't want to start again I thought I was done and I was so happy not smoking, but it's something that happened so now I have to make the positive changes again to quit again.  So Pray for me I know I can do it, I want to do it, and all my family and friends are supportive cause I can't do it alone.  Alright, one day at a time and each day without a cigarette is a step in the right direction.  Continued success to you all!

Ok...Health Update.. :(

May 20, 2009

Ok, so went to the doctor last week and B12 was realllllly low so I'm on bi-weekly shots of B12...also, been having these spells where I get light headed, feel like I'm gonna pass out, hands shaking, legs weak, blurred vision, and super hot and sweaty like out of nowhere so I told my doctor.  I'm Hypoglycemic and on glucose monitor now.  Gotta watch what I eat and eat 6-7 small meals a day.  Other than that everything looks good.  Ready to put the beach pics up when we get back so look forward to that! 

So excited for the beach!  Excited to wear my new green sexy bathing suit...although, hope I don't get nervous and chicken out and wear the less revealing one that I have!  I can do it.  Well, I have stuff to do so I better run...Continued success to you all!

Myrtle Beach, Here I Come!

May 03, 2009

Ok, So I haven't been to the beach, wait let me rephrase that, I haven't wanted to go, so I didn't go to a beach in years.  I can actually say I am so excited to be going to the beach for Black Biker's Week!  Look Out Here We Come!  Oh Yeah!  Should be interesting to say the least!  I've already started tanning so I don't come back looking like a lobster.  But I am actually excited to lay out on the beach, in my bathing suit...what, I can't believe I just said that and I'm thinking that, I'm actually excited to wear a bathing suit...ok Maybe not completely, but I am ok with it and not stressing about wearing it in front of people like I would in the past.  So, the countdown has begun, 18 days to Go!  Woo Hoo!
I guess I better give an update, The musical was last week and as choreographer, it took a lot of time from January to now to put it all together, but the kids did absolutely amazing!  Still haven't had time to go to gym because I have been house sitting/dog sitting for a sick friend for 4 months.  So now that she's home hopefully I'll get more me time and that would be working out!  As always Continued Success to you all!

Still Going Strong!

Mar 12, 2009

Wow, I was just reading over all my posts from surgery time up to this point.  I had some major depression moments.  I think that was the worst part after surgery was the crying phases.  It was horrible.  I'm done with that.  Things are going good, so can't complain.  Sept. will be two years so it's coming quickly.  I can't believe times flies like it does.  So the time since my surgery has been good.  Had some ups and some downs, but still holding strong at 137 now.  I have gone up and down between 134 to 140 my highest.  Which I'm ok with!  Been working out a lot more lately, although with the Spring Musical rehearsals right now time is limited so gym time has been less.  I try though!  I don't know what else to write, so I will leave it at that.  As always continued success to you my friends and to everyone else!  Keep strong and never give up!
