Life is Good

I had a great day out with my DH today - finally feeling good enough to venture far! We went to a couple of Harley dealerships to find the boots he was looking for and I got my late birthday/anniversary present - a gorgeous blingy watch.  We sat on some bikes and I didn't feel like I was gonna make it tip over and that was great! I am really after him now to upgrade from the Sportster to a bigger bike so I can go riding with him!  Then we ate at Hooters - I ate naked wings and they were soooo good. It finally felt like I was back in my real life today, which, for those of you who know what a journey this has been, feels wonderful to me.

I am going to start substitute teaching next week, and I have finally found a protein supplement I actually enjoy (well doctored, that is), I am down 45 pounds, off hypertension meds - life is good!

Congratulation on your sucess so far!  Just being off the medication is wonderful in itself but losing the weight just makes everything that much better! Life is good! Keep up the good work!

After the bumpy start you had, I'm glad you are starting to feel more normal! 

Congrats on the 45 pounds and loss of BP meds!

I am so glad that you are doing better.  
Congratulations on the Weight Lose.  It feels Great
don't it?
I am very Proud of you.

You are in my Prayers.

Life does sound good!  Very proud for you.  What kind of protein supplement did you end up getting?  Just wondering for the future.
Take care of you!!!

Syntrax Nectars are the best i have found. I always mix them with crystal light and splenda or with a sugar free pudding to mask the protein-y taste. My 7 year old loves them too. The Lean Desserts are okay, too, but I prefer the juice tast of the Nectars over the milkshakey consisitency of the Lean Desserts.  My favorites are Roadside Lemonade mixed with CL lemonade and splenda and
Twisted Cherry with cherry CL and splenda. I have them over crushed ice from my sno cone machine.
