Wow! I haven’t been on here since March! Ugh. I am truly sorry. I have missed you guys and have been thinking of you and praying for you even if I wasn’t writing to you.

Much has happened on my end. In my last post, I updated about using birth control to combat some endometriosis and cysts. Turns out I’m not taking the pills after all. I truly believe that God has healed me of these issues. A couple of ladies at church prayed for healing and I have been pain free for months! Oh, I have the normal PMS stuff: cravings, bloating, irritability but that’s it. It feels good to be human again. 

I went to the doctor in June and requested some help with weight loss issues. She put me on an appetite suppression. I’ve been taking that, praying, doing WW, praying and exercising since the first of June and have lost a little over 25 pounds! (did I mention I’ve been praying- a lot!). My hubby has joined me on WW and has lost over 30 pounds. I’m so proud of him. It’s so much easier when you do it together and have that built in support system.

The best thing about all this is that the last time I went to my doctor for my weigh-in and blood pressure check, my BP was 110/85! Woo-hoo. I’m thrilled, thrilled, thrilled. Doc says that if BP is that good next month, she will cut my BP meds in 1/2 and eventually we’ll try not taking it at all. I know I might still have to b/c it does run in my family. BUT if I have to take it it’s not going to be b/c I’m overweight and lazy!

Much going on in other places. My sister and I went to Monterey, CA in July to see my daughter who is in the Navy. We had a great time! It was my sister’s first time flying and she got blessed enough to be able to spend the night at the Denver airport! Daughter is doing well and loves what she’s doing. Youngest daughter started her senior year of high school last week! We’re researching some mission organizations for her to do an internship after graduation. Iam so proud of both my girls.  

I’m going to sign off for now. I need to cook dinner (chicken stir fry) and get ready for yoga. My daughter and I are going together to the Y. I love doing that with her and it’s so relaxing. Plus, I think I’m a little taller when I come out of class!

I’ll read and catch up on everyone later. God bless!
