Let's update...

Blogger friends.... Who's out there and who is still watching, waiting and looking? I'm still here...life is pretty good these days. Man my life has been rough (to say the least) this past year. It could be worse and I could be divorced or unhealthy but I think we managed to fight, cry, yell, love and speak our minds to each other and can now get on with spending the rest of our lives together loving each other rather than be mad or angry at us. Very long story made short: D got hurt at work early last year. Took 5 months for insurance to decide he was not healing and approve a MRI and a surgeon. He had surgery and was off work for about a year. So now we were dealing with workman's comp crap, Dr's and no money and best of all no health insurance cause SAIF (workman's comp) does not pay for your company paid health insurance if you are hurt at work~you just lose it. Fucked deal and a suck deal but the law. So as D heals from surgery last year we starved to pay and keep health insurance and the power on. Let's just say it was rough. We started fighting more and loving less. This is my life partner, my love and I really do love this man and don't want to be without him. I don't want out... I want my husband and my family. Rough year, I think life got rough and clouded and we needed to connect again. We did......yes we yelled it out and almost divorced it out. Life is better today! I feel stronger with him by myside and happy I have a man who loves me and us as much as I do. D is back to work and not pain free but free from SAIF and there bull. Just as long as he is better~I'm better. 2010=rough year!

I've got a senior now. Wow... how did that happen? I'm getting wrinkles I hate it! How did I end up with a 17 year old so fast. Jon is still working at the Aquarium as a youth volunteer. This is his 4th year there and he has put in over 300 hours in over the years. J is planning on going into marine science when he graduates next year. The college here has a great program with/through the aquarium for marine biology. And I hear they place you after 2 years of college if you want to work there. :) I knew years ago when I got him into working at the aquarium this might just work out to be something great for him as he loved it so. So yup senior year and last one to go. Jon has got a girl friend for 6 months now. I like her, the family and they seem to dig each other. Only one problem... he'll be 18 soon and she won't. :( I can't find one reason to not like her or her family but lordy I sure hope we don't have to deal with that age thing. This could send life into something bad. Jon just got his first PAYING job yesterday! Oh yeah! Excited! They did a drug test yesterday along with a background check and he's in. This boy needs his first job rather than arguing with us with work we give him here on our farm. He needs the real world! Time to grow up! So I am way excited for him.

Let's see... Otherwise it's time for me to find something else to do besides being a mom. My boy is grown and now I'm not labeled a MOM but a loser as I'm not working the farmers markets this year and having a bit of trouble finding work.

Weight loss surgery update. Life is good there. I am having no trouble maintaining my weight as long as I stick to eating well. And I have that down with no trouble. I think the 10 years before I had surgery did my mind good. As for everyday eating I eat well and don't say YES to crap to often or at least not much crap. I starved and exercised my ass off trying to lose weight for many, many years before I had surgery in 2007. So now I am so used to eating bland, blah and lean that It's just OK with me to eat that way now. Still almost 5 years later i can not even finish a happy meal and I'm good for about 15 bites or so. Each day is different still. Today I weighed in at 148~ four in a half years later. My lowest I ever saw for one sec was 144. So I am thrilled with myself.

Yeah... so say HI... Still updating here with my weigh always. Keeps me accountable and looking at it.

Till next time...... PEACE OUT

She Rode!

Yup... i rode a horse. Got on and it felt great! I'm telling you... "it's the little things in life you get back after WLS that make this journey great"! I was a little nervous as it was way higher that I imagined. But he was a good horse and after a few minutes I felt a lot better. I did it! And loved it!
