Feeling Good!
I'm trying to spend a few minutes catching up before running out the door again today. I am now a woman on the go and it feels wonderful!
Finally got my blood sugar under control after that last oatmeal-triggered episode on Monday. It is amazing how much better I feel! I went to our fitness center to walk on the treadmill 10 minutes Thursday and 15 minutes Friday (2.5mph).
Little man said on Friday, "Wow! This is fun!" Meaning: Mom is out and about and finally doing lots of fun things with us! lol I picked them up from school Thursday, we headed to the fitness center together, and then out for dinner, followed up by the coffee shop (hubby was at his employer's Christmas party). Then Friday, after picking them up from school, we went to the community center gym for him to play (free time tumbling mostly), went to our fitness center again and he got to swim with his daddy, then we all went out to dinner together. He is now loving life and little does he know it's only going to get better! (BTW, I will be a homeschool mom once again starting in January. Long story short, we have come to find that this is the best option for our guy and is going to be a long-term comittment for me...wish me luck!)
Yesterday hubby and I went to Morganton for a meetup that Shelia put together. It was *wonderful!* How I needed to just touch base and talk with others about various issues! After that, we went to lunch, ran to get our daughter from the HS (student government activities), and then we went into Asheville to shop till we dropped...and I almost did! lol
For those of you just out from surgery and wondering if things will ever get better, they will and do! I'm still not losing hardly anything right now, but I am making great strides in other areas. I am down a clothing size or two. Had to go get new jeans at Goodwill. Looking forward to taking my measurements and photos on the 21st. I've had several people tell me already they are noticing a difference, which feels great! One other note is that my debilitating sciatica is not causing me any trouble with walking right now (knock on wood!). How I hope that continues!
Okay, this was a finger-typing-frenzy so I hope it all meshes! Hope everyone is having a great weekend! {{{Big Hugs!!!}}}
P.S. Dining out is HILARIOUS now! More on that another time!

Hi Shauna,
I feel like I've been soooo far out of the loop. It's great to hear that you are doing so well... and it will just get better and better.
Wishing you continued success,

I knew you would make the most of this. I posted a reply to you ony my earlier post - but I'll add a littel here as well. It only gets better. Your family has no idea what they're in for (or your house either with the remodeling projects). Buckle your seat belt because this is just the very beginning of the ride.
I love my LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shauna,
I am glad things are going so much better for you! They do get easier as time goes, a little bump in the road once in a while but take those as they come. I joined the gym Friday and have now been for the last 3 days, it feels so good. I am just doing cardio right now trying to get in a class with a personal trainer to design my weight training. I thought the walls might fall in it has been so long since I have seen the inside of a gym.
