How are all my favorite women doing today??? I am in the midst of work, but thought I'd pop in for a minute! The sun is finally shining here today!
It's so good to see it --- I am so excited for warmer weather! Come on Spring!
Friday is my weigh-in day, but today when I got the scale it showed the exact weight in my signature, which means I have lost the 5 or so pounds I gained over the holidays. Now I am back on the losing side of things. Hopefully Friday will bring another pound or two so that I can actually put a "Lost in 2004" category!
All these doctor visits have become overwhelming to DH and I the past few days - I told you about the one on Friday!
The he started complaining of a toothache so I got him into my dentist --- he hasn't been to the dentist in years and I told him one day it would catch up with him --- sure enough, he has to go see an oral surgeon about getting 2 teeth removed and he has to have a biopsy on some tissue in his mouth (from chewing tobacco in his younger years --- Yuck! He still sneaks it now and then and it grosses me out --- pretty much the one thing we fight about - but no longer now that he got this news). So he goes in a couple weeks. Then today he went to the family doc for a routine checkup (hasn't done that in years either). The Doc recommended that he give the Atkins diet a try. So, now that a doc has told him we may be doing this together. I don't follow a "plan" - just my own of low-fat, reasonable carbs, count calories...but I know we can make it work together!!! So, we are worn out from Dr. appts. this week and I have 3 next week --- on Tuesday I start my fertility workup with the reproductive specialist, Wed. I have to go to the dentist and endocrinologist. UGH!!! It never ends.
That's ok, I am so happy we are taking care of everthing....
guess what DH told me the other night???.......
"I am turning over a new leaf, I want to be healthy enough to play footbal with our children."
I wanted to cry when he said that! Now I know how excited he is about starting a family, and something finally happed to want him to be serious about his health!!!!
I am so proud of him and happy to have him!!!
Boy, oh Boy did I just get off on a tangent ---- sorry about that!!! I am not sharing all this with many people in my life, but I feel like I can share with all of you...
even though I know the entire world has access We just aren't ready to share much of what is going on with family and friends yet.
Well, since I babbled on longer than expected I really need to get back to work! I'll continue to catch up later!
