A little update :)

Good sunny day everyone!

I've been off and gone - some good and some not so good.

I fell off the wagon for a while and was embarrassed to come and admit it...  I'm doing better if not perfect but am willing to stop in and at least talk  :)

I had another MRI and they found more bad disks in my neck again.  I go see the neurosurgeon tomorrow... I had an appointment for the 6th but got a call last in the week saying "after further consideration can you come in on Monday?"  ummm well yeah!  doh...   I really don't like the sounds of that.

Other than that, things are ok.  the weight is still slowly coming off as I approach my 1 year mark the end of October.  I won't make my goal but I'm ok with that  :)  I've far surpassed my and the surgeon's expectations.

I'm starting to garner attention and it's really strange.  I'm not sure how to take it.  I'm trying to be good and just accept compliments when I get them...  but the rest is so darn foreign  lol

I went out and Roger happened to see me and called me some not so nice things.  I guess I need to learn how a 48 year old dresses like (according to him) ...  he's never seen me in anything but "tents" ... so I put on tight pants and a midriff top to go out to the club and he freaked.

Good thing he doesn't live here anymore.  We are heading to the divorce stage as soon as I have cash to file but are working on staying friends for the rescue and there are things we really only enjoy doing together.  We shall see how that goes...

thanks for reading... I miss everyone and think of folks so often...  My prayers and hugs go out to all...

Hi  Lori!
Sooo good to see you again!  I missed you! Just keep in mind that there ain't nothin' that's happened that ain't been done before.

I'm glad to hear that Roger is history in the making. Good for you!

My prayers that the news from the neurosurgeon isn't all bad, and that they will be able to fix you up relatively pain-free.

Hello Lori....I want to say it is nice to see you again.

I pray that the appointment with your neurosurgeon goes well.

Hugs, connie d

I'm sure Roger DOESN'T like seeing you out, living life without him!  But YAY YOU for moving ahead amd removing some serious stress from your daily existance!

As for not making your goal?  It's not a race.  The thing is, you're in it for life.  And if you didn't make your goal at 1 year?  Well, just keep working it at 1 year and one day, 1 year and 5 days, 1 year and 237 days.....   It's for the long haul, the door won't slam shut on your efforts!

Congrats on everything, and prayers for your neck issues!

Ouch, sorry about your neck. I hope there is an easy fix that will get you to feeling 100%!

I had to laugh at the "he's never seen me in anything but "tents." Oh, can't wait to get rid of anything tent-like in my closest! That's so great you've lost so much weight in just a year, keep it up- you're SO close to goal!
