Eileen - Day #361 - Tuesday, June 30, 2009

Weight today:  229.8       Change since last post:  -3.8 lbs.
————————————————————————————–

Wooohooooo!  I am - for the first time in 10 years - down into the 220’s!!!  BARELY into the 220’s but HEY I saw it this morning on the scale, that big shiny TWO, so I’m there!!!  YEAHHHHHH!!!!!

****Happy Dancing****  ****Happy Dancing Some More****

Ahem.

How did I do it, you might ask.  Did I burn a zillion calories this past week?  Did I exercise my butt off?  Did I work extra hard?  Nope.  I was SICK!!!  Arghhhh!!!!  I spent four freakin’ days in BED, laying around doing NOTHING!!  And I lost almost FOUR POUNDS!!!!

*Sigh*  It’s a heckuva way to lose weight but, hey, I’ll take it.

So yeah, sorry I disappeared again but between my mom going into the hospital and me being sick, I haven’t been spending ANY time online.  I haven’t even updated my own stuff on my w8challenge site either!!!  Thank goodness the site basically runs itself now because I just haven’t been around to do anything.

Speaking of which - today is the last day of the JUNE CHALLENGE!!  I just now added the JULY Challenge, so if you are an existing member and you want to continue in July, just click on the GROUP MGR button and July is now listed as a choice (in the third box).  You can join July and still switch back and forth to June.

By the way, my mom is okay.  She had a “dizzy spell” and then fell and couldn’t get back up.  My daughter was there with her and she called 911 and rode with her Grandma in the ambulance to the hospital.  Luckily there were no broken bones (Mom landed on her butt TGhugs LOL), but her cumadin levels were really high (which probably caused the dizziness and disorientation) so they admitted her, kept her for three days and then sent her home.  I’m very happy that her doctor decided to take her off cumadin altogether.  This is the 3rd time her level got too high and it makes her very sick (and at risk for a bad bleed) when that happens.  Mom will be taking Vitamin K and a daily aspirin instead (she has a pacemaker so she needs her blood a bit thinned).

Thank you to everyone for your kind support and well-wishes!!  Y’all rock!!

    So glad your mom is ok but I bet it was scary. Sorry you weren’t feeling well but congrats on the new “decade” of weight. Let’s work on getting out of the 220’s together…I have been stuck in here for way too long.
