Catching Up!

Wow!  The last time I posted was October 2014?  We are now in February 2015?  Only 4 months?  I feel as if I haven't done this in 4 ever!!! (Yeah, that was a little corny!)  I have decided, that I am coming back to this.  It makes me feel good, and it gives me a positive release.  If you were following me at all (a girl can only hope someone missed her) I'm sorry for my absence!

 

Now, to Catch Up! 

When I left you in October, I had been on yet another weight loss journey.  This time, however, it wasn't just because I wanted to feel better, look better, or even wear my clothes better.  I was perfectly fine being overweight fat! Sorry if I offend anyone, I just know I looked that way, and I ate that way.  Again, I was perfectly fine with it.  My doctor, on the other hand, was not.  He decided that I needed to lose weight because if I didn't I was going to continue to have stupid health issues.  BLAH!  He wasn't mean (like another Dr. I went to), but he was very stern and very blunt.  He put me on a weight loss drug, even though I was already yet again, a member of Weight Watchers.  Don't get me wrong, I don't mind being on WW, in fact I had lost around 70 lbs a year or so ago.  I looked and felt really good, until my gallbladder started acting up, which led to my liver forming cysts, and three surgeries, and frankly, I decided that I liked to eat again (I am a BIG stress eater).  Anyhow, here I go again - losing weight.  


                                                   

November 2014

Nothing spectacular happened.  The usual Thanksgiving celebrations, and of course, MY BIRTHDAY!!  I turned 47 in this month, and I have felt every bit of it.  Still losing weight, even though this is the biggest stress time of the year with family coming in (or not) and just a variety of factors.

December 2014

Christmas.  More stress.  More family (I love my family! We are just so LOUD! Hahaha!).  FOOD!  Oh my, the amount of temptation goodies that were in abundance.  But I still LOST WEIGHT!  I was a very good girl, counting every point, resisting the temptations, and beating this whole stress eater thing.  Then the bladder/UTI thing hits (never had any issues before).  Holy Moly, Batman!  What else??

 

January 2015

Happy New Year! My what else turned into a prolonged bladder issue (who knows, but I was once told that the body falls apart after 40.  I laughed, but now, it's not funny), as well as my Daddy ending up in the hospital and getting him all straightened out.  Can we say, lots of stress? LOL!  Yet, I still lost weight!  I've been very good about watching what I eat, simply because I want to feel good.  My liver hasn't given me as many problems, and I have been feeling good!

 

February 2015

Happy Valentine's Day!  My husband is pretty much the bomb!  He is there for me, he's there for the kids, he's there for his family, he's there for my family, he's there for his employees.  He isn't perfect,(unless you ask him! Haha!), but he's mine, and he loves me!  This little paragraph will catch you up to where I am today.  Daddy is feeling better.  We go see his kidney dr (yes, I know the technical name) on Wednesday, and I really look forward to that visit.  I have been spending a lot more time with Momma and Daddy, some of it stressful, and a lot of it not.  We went to see a couple of drs last Wednesday at PB VA and made a wheel chair train!  Laughed all the way down one of the hallways.  That is going to be a special memory I will hold on to.  

So, on that note, as February is ending and March is beginning, there are so many things I cannot wait to share!  Please enjoy this blogging journey with me, as I continue with my Empty Nest.  (Still empty, but my heart is full!)  Yes, I am STILL LOSING WEIGHT! It does get easier, who am I kidding?? I still LOVE TO EAT! Hahaha!!!

Prayers are still needed and much appreciated! 

 

See you on Monday!! Thanks for stopping by!   I promise not all entries will be this long!!!  I had 4 months to catch you up!!!
