Topic: I Went Skiing, I fell and I Got UP!
Back in the beginning, before the surgery, we were making lists about things we'd do once we lost our weight. I did one of them last week. I went skiing at Whistler. To see a pic of me skiing go to: http://Sun-Smith.smugmug.com/photos/132686706-M.jpg To look at the entire set of pics (includes 90+ pictures of family and friends) you can go to: http://Sun-Smith.smugmug.com/gallery/2525399/1/132686706 The first picture in the set is of an electrical substation. I sent it to the people I work with (now that I'm a consultant and no longer an electric company employee) as a joke. Kind of a busman's holiday type of thing. I labeled it "vacationing at Whistler" and e-mailed it to them. They gave me a bad time about it. The lady who kind of looks like me, wearing all black, that is my older sister Vicki. Some of you met her last July in Las Vegas. Anyway -- it was cool to: - be able to ski, and fall down AND get up - reach down and adjust my boot (my tummy was NOT) in the way - pick up my poles when they fell over - wear ski clothes from the regular ski shop that I bought on clearance - have stamina to ski all day Wasn't this surgery grand? -Pam

Tiffany 6.5 weeks will come and go before you know it then you will be an ole married woman. Many congrats. Kimberly, you need to slow down before you burn out, sorry to hear about your son. Can't remember if the older or younger one is Nicholas or Brandon, CRS syndrome has me bad these days. I know how it is to be away from your mom, I lived away from mine and missed her terribly. Glad to hear she is coming for Olivia's b'day. Sue

For me, stress just adds it on... so at least you are NOT gaining! I'm so happy for the upcoming wedding. Seems like everyone is finding love these days! As far as what's going on with me... NOTHING! LOL I work almost every day now. I started cleaning houses -- had to find something to do with my time so I don't sit around and eat! LMAO I'm so busy now that I'm gone almost all the time. My singing group is getting ready for competition the last weekend of March. I have a barbershop quartet that is planning on competing (if we can get it all together) and my chorus is definately competing. We'll be in Chatanooga. It's SO much fun. Can't wait! But it's very stressful this last month getting prepared. My mother seems to think I need to go back on anti depressants, I just stay so stressed out and sad about not living closer to her, but she's coming for a visit for Olivia's 3rd birthday. (March 10) I still can't believe she's gonna be 3. It breaks my heart how fast they grow up! My 13 year old is already practicing driving... we let him back out of the driveway. He thinks he's so cool! LOL I keep trying to tell him to stop trying to grow up so fast becasue time just flies by after you reach 20 something. *sigh* They never listen! My 7 year old has been very sick. He has a lung disease, similar to severe asthma, but related more to his extreme prematurity and long term ventilator use. This time of year is very hard on him and he catches EVERYTHING. He's turned blue on us twice in the past 2 weeks. It gets rather scary at times. He's on a regimin of about 10 oral meds and then nebulizer treatments 7 times a day. Poor thing just wears himself out trying to breath. He comes home from school and usually just falls asleep. Cystic Fibrosis runs in our family. He's tested borderline twice, but they refuse to say he has it... which is JUST FINE WITH ME!!!!! Anyway, just keep him in your prayers (and my sanity). Once the summer hits he'll do much better. He's missed so much school he'll have to repeat the first grade, but I really think he needs it anyway. He hasn't grasped the reading concept very well yet. Still reading at an early kindergarten level. But math....now that's a different story. He's always excelled at math. I guess he's just got a brain for it. It's so very frustrating for me though because he's the one who tries so very hard. He has no idea he's so far behind. My 13 year old on the other hand could care less, and always has. And he's too smart for his own good. His IQ is in the genious level, which is probably his problem! LOL Scott is still working the same job. No more new bites, but I just know that when the time is right, the perfect job will come along. I'm just sitting here patiently waiting. Anyway.... that's all that's up wtih us. I keep gaining and losing the same 5 pounds. I"m happy where I'm at. Could use some tucking and lifiting.. but that will just have to wait. Love you guys and miss you all! I guess Sue's the next for the "lift off" Good luck girl! Let me know if you need me! HUGS Kimberly

Topic: Just Checkin in....
Not too many posts going on lately. Unfortunately, im one of those who dont post much, but i do read every day. Just figured id drop in since im here at work bored out of my mind, and sick with a cold. Ugh. It sucks! I think ive gotten this cold from being so stressed out. Im going crazy with wedding crap. Only 6 1/2 more weeks until i get married. My weight loss has completely halted now for months and months. Granted, Im somewhat OK with where I am. I have lost a total of 135 pounds, but i defenitely need to lose another 50, but with all my craziness going on, i havent had the time or the energy to really work on it. You'd think with the stress it would come off! Anyhow, just wondering how everyone else is doing......fill us in (especially all of you guys who havent posted in a long time!) Tiffany
