Super Sunday WLS Express
Good Sunday morning everyone.
As soon as I post I'll be off to make my morning coffee. I'm hoping for a deliciously relaxing day today.
I stepped on the scale today and it read 160. That...ladies and gentlemen...was my goal for myself when I started this journey. I am just...wow. This whole hernia surgery becoming larger than originally expected was quite a blow but it sure has been incredible to have so many wow moments to follow. Has helped put my head and my heart back in the place where it needs to be. I'm still going to keep going if I can. I set my goal thinking 160 was achievable...I didn't want to set unrealistic goals. But I'm still several pounds away from a 'normal' BMI. I don't know if I'll get all the way there...as far as I'm concerned anything below 160 that I lose and maintain is just bonus. My only 'sad face' about reaching goal this morning was Clint is out of town...so I couldn't drag him in and show him the scale. But I know he'll hug me tight tonight and tell me he's proud. :)
I'm headed out today to treat myself to a gorgeous recipe book from my local kitchen store. I'm going to use the next week to take lots of the recipes I've printed off line and the ones I've come up with and condense them all in a recipe book. Much easier to maintain than a bunch of computer printed pages and much prettier to have on my kitchen counter.
Prayers out to everyone!

hey Jenn
how you doing this morning girl? im.. here. Thats about it. Im soooooooooo exhausted... didnt sleep much last nite (i know.. nothing new here.. but even less than usual) Having some protein coffee to try to jump start me.
talked to my friend in beaumont... and *Crossing fingers and praying hard* the end could be in sight. I sooooooooooo hope so for my friend's sake. changing his bandages is getting more and more painful for him and it just kills me ot see him in so much misery.
I wanted to thanks all of you for the notes here, on facebook, texts etc saying you were thinking of me, praying for me, offering assistance etc. I always know when the chips are down, my sistahs (and bros) are always here for me.

Too tired for shout outs.. i know i will leave someone dear out and just eff up in general. Know i love you all and thank you for the love and support... that means more thnan you know..

Kisses, hugs and as my long lost friiend Sherry usta say, angels all around!!1

When I was born, I cried and the world rejoiced. Now i wanna live my life so that when I die, the world cries and I rejoice
I feel like I've been beaten with a big stick today! We bought a new elliptical on Friday and yesterday I had to find a place for it and put it together. At least I got some major housecleaning done in the process....I cleaned 3 rooms trying to find the perfect place for it. Finally ended up putting it in the living room! Being in a bedroom hidden from view won't make me want to use it so it's in view of the TV/DVD with plenty of light. If 'company' doesn't want to look at it they can stay home!!! Between all the cleaning, putting it together and then playing with all the settings and such....I got a helluva workout yesterday. Today all those long un-used muscles ate screaming!
I'm gonna go see if this train has a spa car!
