RNY Goes Abroad!
27 June 2010The funny thing is, if you asked me about my trip, most of the highlights would involve people, not food. People, so many lovely, lovely people. Family, friends and a precious 2 year old nephew we would meet for the first time.
Falling Down The Rabbit Hole
24 April 2010And so it goes on. This internal ‘every few months’ song and dance my gut plays on me. I will be as ‘ungraphic’ as possible and still try to get my point across. I have irritable bowel syndrome. There, I said it. It is embarassing. Now, bear in mind, I have had this for years; way before [...]
What To Do When You Get The Flu!?!
28 March 2010So finally, after three years and faithfully getting my flu shot every year, I got my (parden my french but sometimes there is just no other way to say some things) ass kicked by a horrible flu virus. It started as a head cold. Congestion, horrible sore throat, slight aches, etc. I took zinc and [...]
The Up’s And The Down’s
13 March 2010While I was on short term disability for a month nursing an immobilized, injured arm (after taking a bad fall on ice), I found myself snacking at home more than I should. I saw how easy it was, small pouch and all, to slip back into old habits. I try to thank God everyday for the [...]
Happy ’3rd Birthday’ To Me!!!! The Good, The Bad, The Pretty And The Ugly; A Reveal All Post!
31 January 2010My ’3rd Birthday’ is coming up this Friday, Feb 5, 2010. 3 years ago on Friday I arrived at ‘stupid o’clock’ in the morning at Roanoke Memorial Hospital amidst a windchill that can only be described as what Northern Canada must feel like. It was awful and in fact snowed the next day while I was [...]
Happy New Year 2010!!!!!!!
1 January 2010Here it is, another New Year. Where did the last one go? They all seem to go faster and faster? It is so hard to believe it has been 10 years since Y2k. It is scary. In any event, it has been a challenging couple of years (not so much weight wise, thank goodness, but [...]
At Last!
21 October 2009I knew I would make it! I am too determined not to gain weight to not make it so I did it! I got the ten pounds and then some off! I am actually, as of this morning, at my all time low. My husband is not at all pleased. He says I have lost [...]
My First Real Battle; And I Will Win
29 September 2009I am not quite sure when it happened. I think it was the marathon birthdays (Taylor’s, mine and Sarah’s) and the fact I can’t tear myself away from the vending machine at work when they load it with Cinnamon Toast Crunch bites, but somewhere over the last several weeks I have gained nearly 10 lbs! [...]
Yellow
14 July 2009Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you, And everything you do, Yeah they were all yellow……… Coldplay “Yellow” Awwwwwwwww yes, one of my favorite Coldplay songs. My yellow, however, is one of my newer shirts that I managed to get free from a local discount retail store after unbeknownst to me, my [...]
But Seriously…….
5 July 2009A lot has happened in the last few weeks to make the world stop and take notice. On the same day the world lost two big entertainers. One, a beautiful , golden locked lady with the million dollar smile that this pudgy 12 year old would have given anything to look like. Oh, how I [...]
