I dragged my butt and the rest of me out of bed to exercise this morning! Yeah. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical. My goal for the next 4-6 weeks is to exercise thre times a week for at least 30 minutes. My first short term goal is to lose 5-10 lbs before going [...]

and mom is doing okay! Still no EES (emotional eating syndrome) and I have great peace about the choice that Karen made. I’m definitely going to miss her! But this is what’s supposed to happen; they’re supposed to grow up and live their own lives. Keep her in your prayers and thoughts, please. I’ll try [...]

Six hours before I turn my daughter over to the Navy and no EES here! (EES-emotional eating syndrome  ).
Good thing I know she won’t really be in the Navy’s hands at all; she’ll be in the same hands she’s been in all her life: Gods!

The Christmas season is over and the New Year has begun. We had a great Christmas with all my sibs and my dad at my brother’s house 12/26 &12/27. We’ve been extremely busy though, not only because of the holiday season but because my oldest daugther is leaving soon for the Navy. When I say [...]

This will be short and sweet as I am very tired. I am also very content but tired nonetheless. I hope eveyrone had a great Thanksgiving!
My hubby and I are researching what method/plan we want to use to kick start healthy living after the New Year. No, that doesn’t mean we’re going to pig out [...]

I went to Dr. Gibson for my ultrasound results today. I am not going to have surgery at this time (YEAH). There was a fibroid tumor about ½ inch in diameter but that was not what caused my problems last month. I have two “simple” cysts on my left ovary (FYI-“simple” means they are not [...]

I went to the hospital today for my ultrasound. It went well; as well as something like that can go!  :)  The tech was really nice and did a great job and from all the clicking he did, I’d say there’s definitely something going on. I go to the doctor tomorrow for the results and [...]

First, thanks to everyone for their concern. It’s greatly appreciated. Second, today has been a pretty good day. I went to the doc this morning and my blood pressure was 146/88, which is prehypertension. So, they put me on a low grade blood pressure med, 10 mg a day, to try to help get it [...]
