Hello People (August 11, 2009)

Hello there - and welcome back to my blog. All in life is going peachy (since they happen to be in season right now...hee hee). Lou is still working away (Loving it!!) and enjoying his new job. Brittany and Matt are doing great and she's getting ready to start her senior year of high school (Yikes!!) on Thursday and I'm continuing to eat like food is going out of style!!

Yes, I'm still fighting those dratted "boredom munchies". You know, where even though you're busy at work, your still restless and so you pop in a few crackers or a couple of gummi bears and before you know it, you've eaten non-stop for hours? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Today has been one of those days, but I was actually able to lose two pounds over the past few days and am comfortably at 126 lbs. as of this morning. My next doctors appointment (18 months!) is next month and I am determined to weigh the same (124) or less than when I had my one-year check up. It's a goal that I'm setting. I went online yesterday and ordered "The 5-day Pouch Test" by Kaye Bailey. It's a program that's supposed to detox gastric bypass patients when they've fallen off the protein-wagon. I've gotten way too comfy with those carbs and crackers and fruit are bad, bad, bad to me. Well, I love em. And they taste great. And eating so much protein all the time gets sooooo boring. And, I'm really good about making excuses, aren't I? Pretty impressive, I bet you're thinking. But, when I think about it, I think I'm doing almost every thing right. I'm recognizing when I'm starting to get out of control and doing something about it instead of just letting it get worse and worse. Besides, I have a wedding to go to next Saturday and I plan on looking radiant!! My only drawback is, my hubby is playing ball that day and can't go with me. And, Brittany's gonna be off with Matt, so I need a date. A female date. Any takers? Actually, with the exception of being nervous about driving home from somewhere out in the boonies late at night by myself, I'm cool with going by myself to this wedding because this is a family I know very well and I get to see one of my best friends ever!!! And, I haven't seen her in almost two years so I'm very excited about getting to spend time with her and the good thing is, when I'm busy and out visiting, I hardly eat at all so I'll be sure to not be all bloated and miserable by Saturday! ha ha!!

So, just thought I'd post a little something on here to let you all know I'm doing well. Weights well, health is well (as far as I know, haven't heard on my liver enzymes) and work is well, albeit a tad busy these days. Which is good, it makes the time pass quicker. Love and kisses til next time....
