Third Bandiversary yesterday! 10-23-09

Yesterday is the day that God chose to give me a wonderful gift!  The gift of a second chance at a healthy life!  Three years ago today, through the very skilled and capable hands of my surgeon, my band and I became buddies.  As in all relationships, we do have a squabbles, but the band wins the major wars.  Today, I thank Him for three healthy, fit, and exciting years!  May we all have 300 more!  BTW, if anyone can get my pictures to work, please do!  OH is the only site where this is a problem for me!

wow girl, i woudlnt have recognized you!!! In your before pic, you look so much like your mom. In the after.. so much like hte days of rock and roll eh ! You have really rocked the band and done a great job. Congrats!!!!

Hey! Girl! 

Thanks for the kind comments!  This is certainly not my victory!  He has given me a second chance to do the health thing right; my obedience is what is required!  You should see Mom now, btw, she has diabetes (hence another reason for me to be banded and healthy) and has lost a whole bunch of weight herself.  All I need now for the "old" look is for the sister to bleach me blonde! 

Thank you, also, for fixing my pictures.  I just don't understand why I can't get them to work myself on this site!

Glad your mom is getting a handle on her health as well.  You look incredible. I could have never made the band work myself., im so proud of you. 
As for your pics, just leave off the (img) thing on each end (or whatever it is) and it should show up, or just have me fix them lol.

I agree.  Call me when you come to Bmt next time.  I would like to meet up and catch up.  The Bucks is a fav of mine! The kidlet is feeling better today, as she is doing all she can to get me to tell her to stop!  She is so going to school tomorrow!

hahahahaha Sounds like Auntie Heather :)
Will definately give you heads up so we can plan a SBJX get together and get caught up on things.

Wow Cyndi!  You need to put your new picture as your avatar, you look soo much younger and fantastic to boot!

Thanks! Dana!  All glory goes to Him!  I feel so much younger.  You know, I have to, so I can chase my 6 yr old DD around.  What a journey this has been and continues to be.  I am grateful every single day that I have been led down this path to health and fitness!  Here's to the next 300 yrs!
