It’s 2013 and I’m the smallest I’ve ever been in my adult life. 3 years ago I started a journey of weight loss and better health… Now I’m almost 100 lbs lighter, 11 sizes smaller, and leagues healthier as a result. I’ve still got about 25-30 lbs to go, but I truly believe it will…

Christmas Eve 2012
It’s Christmas Eve 2012, exactly 22 years since I officially moved to Dallas. i remember the evening we got here with all my stuff, dropped it off at Robert’s mom’s house and went to dinner at his Aunt Lila’s house. i felt immediately at home, they were were such an amazing family full of wonderful,…
Time Flys By
It’s hard to believe that just about a month ago Robert and I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary. We went to Mall of America in Minnesota, it was a LOT of fun, and the 14 hour drive wasn’t even too bad… it helps that we communicate well. I’m really enjoying my job at American Heart,…
It’s been a while…
I haven’t really had much different happening to make me feel the need to post, but life is going well. I absolutely love my job at the AHA, I’m poised to take the Texas Real Estate Exam in September, I’ll be debt free by the end of 2012, and I’m feeling better than I have…
2012 – New Beginnings
It’s 2012 and I am looking forward to a great year! I have managed to keep my weight off for almost 2 years, I’m getting more toned and in shape daily, I have been (despite not working) paying down debt, and I believe that I’ll land a perm job very soon.
I can has job?
I am healing well, ahead of schedule according to the doctor, and I’m so ready to be working again! I get so bored and depressed when I’m always home alone… I know the economy sucks, I know we are in a depression, I know my job is a “nice to have” for most companies, and…
Tomorrow…
I am having three procedures. One is medical, two are related and elective. I’m scared, but will be super excited when it’s all over and I’m finally “normal” again. Please pardon the spelling on the medical terms, I’m not looking them up. Procedure 1 is a panticlectomy, where they remove the loose skin on the…
1 Week…
So, in exactly 1 week I should be in surgery. I’m both excited and terrified. I’m having a lot of skin removed (stomach and arms) as a result of my huge weight loss over the past couple years, and will probably have more skin removed before the end of the year (thighs). I’m super happy…
Time Goes By…
So, I am having surgery on my arms and stomach on Sept 7. I is a little daunting though, because it’s going to be a lot of change on my body and probably a little on mind. However, I am better spirits than the last time I posted, which is surprising since I am in…
Emo-tions
It’s hard sometimes to always put on the happy face, the strong-nothing is ever wrong face that people expect from me. I’m generally a very happy person, but I am human and still have down days, sometimes they can get really bad… I don’t want to be coddled, but sometimes a hug would be nice….
