Hi all!  I am Kim and I live in Helena Alabama.  I am married to my best friend, Bill and we have amazing adventures together.  We are currently planning an Alaska 12 day land/sea cruise trip for September 2012.  We have 3 grown children, 1 grandpuppy and 2 cats. 

I am 2 and 1/2 years post op RNY and doing great.  Maintaining now for about 18 months a 175 lb weight loss.  I do not dump so I have to be very careful of my food choices.  I am compliant about 80% of the time and I live a very active lifestyle.  I work out 5-6 days a week so I can "get away" with a few extras. 

I intend to maintain this level of activity so I can eat what I want....I do not EVER want to go on a diet again.  However, if the scale creeps up a bit, I quickly become more mindful of my eating, up the water and the cardio...that seems to fix the issue.

I wish I'd done this so much sooner!!

Kim

Good to see you Miss Mary.  Looking forward to February and being with all of you for a few days.

Just sitting and thing about music. Those that know me well know I don't listen to music, I have musicaphobia. I can't listen to any music over 10 minutes (bluegrass-30 seconds)But I am getting on up in age and have been thinking about songs I have heard in my younger days. But since I am getting older (better) I think they need to be revamped a little bit. So here is my revised listing.
