FRIDAY GRATEFUL POST

  Good Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone has had a great week and is really for this holiday weekend coming up.    As you all know or should know this is a grateful post where we list what we are grateful for.  Every morning when I do this I along with many others focus on all the things that I have in my life that I take for granted.    For taking those things for granted I am truly sorry.    Life does not guarantee us anything.  Gratefulness is something that we should express on a daily basis IMHO.    PLEASE share with us if  you want to what  you are grateful for today.   Today I am SO grateful for my WLS.    I am almost 6 yrs. post op RNY.   I originally lost 140 lbs.   I had put on ( and I am ashamed to admit it.....30 lbs from my very lowest).     Now that being said....STRESS was one of the major issues that put weight on me.    I am STILL not stress free.....trust me on this one !!!  But I began to re-focus a couple of weeks ago and I have to date lost 12 of those thirty pounds.   I have been making wise choices....keeping my protein levels HIGH (about 90 - 100+ mg. protein a day ) and tried to exercise daily.   I am so thrilled now to think about hopefully getting most of that re-gain off.    I feel better already ( mentally and physically ).    So even little things like that are something to be so grateful for.    PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for today.   Have a wonderful holiday weekend.


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

For today (and EVERY day)..I am grateful for.. the members and families of our Armed Services...

My "personal" soldier, is my oldest nephew, James "Rusty" Holder, currently stationed at Ft. Hood. He was first "baby", and I was a whole lot better aunt, than I'll ever be as a mother.

VIVIAN-way to RAWK that weight loss !!!!

 Thank you Gina.   I about cried this morning when I saw that number on the scale.    I am not where I want to be yet but I feel that now I am headed in the right direction.   I pray that it continues to creep downward.   Thank you again.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
