I'm finally Home, home...

Hey everyone! I've had almost no internet access for 3 weeks and I've been craving it so badly!! lol... but it's time to update you all on me and how things have gone. This is the quick synopsis - I still have yet to really journal my little journey. I'm gonna work on that this week. Had surgery June 30th. Released July 3rd Nearly died of exhaustion and depression (wanted to eat at the mall soooo bad) on July4th. or if I couldn't eat... buy cute clothes, but no way at this weight!! Dh had to leave me and the kids at the hotel on July 5th July 5th - 7th exhausted, feeling junky, miserable.. poor kids... watched tons of TV in the hotel room Late July 7th - flew home to the mainland so we could move our stuff to Hawaii. July 8th - 23rd on the mainland, packing, cleaning, estate sale, more packing, more cleaning... EXHAUSTION!! But glad to be done with that. July 23rd late - flew back into Hawaii... what a TRIP that was... We nearly missed our flight in Seattle - running like crazy, lost my wallet, had to back track - they almost didn't hold the plane for us, but we made it. SAME story once we got to Honolulu. They refused to check our bags through and there were 3 carts full!! We had to go get them, and then basically run (I did my best) 1/2 mile to the next counter. They had to stop the plane from leaving and we boarded JUST in the nick of time. OMGosh I'm sooooooo TIRED!!! It's been nutty ridiculous. But fabulous at the same time. I THINK I have more energy then before - I mean I think all that activity would have KILLED me previously, but then, I'm not so sure, cause I sure felt like dying, running through the airport pushing 150lbs. The good news, I've lost 26lbs. I'm very happy with that, that makes for 37 in a little over a month. My rings are pretty loose and my pants are getting way baggy on me. I love it! Well, that's it for now - more to come later I hope.

sounds like a very hectic time. But boy what I would give just to visit Hawaii much less move there. Sounds like you are doing great, glad your back. jackie

Thanks Jackie! I've been reading your progress, and I'm Jealous!!! lol.. you're doing so well girl. Keep up the fabulous work. What's your secret may I ask? I may just be a slower looser, but I'm always re-evaluating... and I spose 26lbs in 27 days so far is nothing to snivel at... I was just hoping for that first month BIG number! lol... s'ok, I'm loosing like never before and there's certainly NO dissappointment in my progress!! HUGS, Tink
