Hello....

I know I have MIA for a bit.  Life it crazy: getting kids acculated in school, Presentation and Final exam for my Economy class, work is crazy with a big propsal we are woking on and I will probablly take on if we win (please...please).  The girls are back in dance.  So life has taken hold of me.  I do come in an lurk and keep track of everyone.

I passed my Eco class...thank you Jesus.  I hate Eco and have since my Bachelors classes.  I am taking Finance next semester.  I am getting nervous about this degree.  After this next clas I only have 4 more classes to go until I graduate with my MBA. 

I had my 3 month post op appointment.  not much to report.  He is extremly please with my 70+lb weight loss since surgery.  No labs were done prior to surgery so he is having me do my labs ASAP then again in Decemeber before my 6 months check up.

Boy, the scale is laughing is butt off at me and teasing me.  I am 2 pounds away from being under 300lbs!!  It has been toying with me for a week.  Just trickling off ounces every day.  UGH!  Don't you hate it when you have weight in mind and you are so close to it, it toys with you.  That is OK, just need to maintain patience and it will come soon. 

I finally broke down and bought some pants.  My current pants are not working at all.  I don't like showing people my underwear.  I ordered 1 pair of jeans and black slacks.  Oh how I wish I could shop at goodwill or the clearnece racks at Wally World.  But being tall puts a snag in that.  Good news, I have gone from busting out of a 32 July last year to a 24!!  Yeah!!

Melissa it is so good to hear from you!  Sounds like you are a victim of crazy busy life like the rest of us.  Isn't it nice to be able to enjoy all those activities better as you lose the weight.  Keep up the great work!!!

Melissa,

It is great to hear from you.  Yep, it's the time of year for life to be busy, nusy, busy...especially when you have kids!  Sounds like you are doing great and you will be under 300 before you know it!  Way to go with the classes so far and good luck with the current/upcoming ones!
