HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!

Dad would have been 82 today!

I sure miss you. Thanks for sharing your spirit when we need it. (Especially at the cabin with Michael.)

Until our spirits meet again.

I Love You!

Good Morning....National Guard?!?

Can you believe it? I slept in clear until 0500 then went back to sleep until 0600. Amazing! 0430 has been getting boring. Can't be noisy because the 'mother' thing would have to start, can't turn on the light in the bedroom because snoring hubby will wake up....what's a girl to do! SLEEP would be a novel idea.

I woke Michael up at 0730 and with eyes fluttering he said 'I'm working with the National Guard!" "Well tell the National Guard it's time to wake up." Slowly he opened his eyes, turned over and told me "Mom, that's the best dream I ever had."

Ahhh. "To sleep, perchance to dream."

HMMM how's it going?

Well last week I lost 2.6 (don't forget the .6 it's important!) lbs. PT is really good to work with my limitations, always trying to think of something new that will work my muscles but not injure the bursitis. Which by the way is not getting better....

PT and I decided that our left arms became/become stronger when children are born. This is from holding one on your hip while you do everything with your right hand. I am definitely left hand stronger due to the almost 8 lb-der Ryan.

She took measurements yesterday and the only thing I can say about that is....she only had to use one. (tape measure that is) :)

Weight Loss Journey

Yesterday I started with a Personal Trainer forever to be known as PT. Because of my stupid bursitis we can only work the top half for now. I don't hurt as bad as I thought I would but probably after tomorrow I'll hurt worse. I feel very guilty paying as much money as I am, taking it out of my family's pocket so to speak. I keep wanting to say BUT.... I'll be turning EGAD I can't say it. I said I would be fit and skinny at 40, that didn't happen. I did a gastric bypass I've done everysort of diet and yes I get skinny then I get fat! I could bore everyone with the emotions/wa wa me/even though there alot of valid reasons. NOW is the time to work hard to get fit and feel better and be happier. I can't wait any more! I'm not getting younger.

For now this blog is going to mostly for my own wailing/keeping a history/and weight loss journey.
