major accomplishment

Hi family Well, last weekend I did something I wouldn't have been able to do had I not had WLS. I umpired in a National Softball Tournament in Bowling Green, Kentucky. I had a blast, met new people, and learned a bunch. It's a big honor to even be asked to do this type of tournament. I was told that there are 45,000 umpires and only 3% get asked to work at National Tournaments. I'm hoping that I will be able to ge a hold of some pictures that I can post on-line for you guys to check me out. I saw a few pics and I look really good in my uniform!! The dark pants are very slimming. *wink* I also stepped on the scale after running my rear end off all weekend in 90+ heat in pants, and I was down 5 pounds! First real weight loss since mid January for me. I don't know if it will stay off, but the good news is, I am still capapble of losing. I'm excited about this, and hope to lose a fe more pounds to reach my "magic number". Also, I'm meeting with a plastic surgeon next week--I'll post the details on that after it happens. July Babies Rock!! Diana
