Jazzing it up!
14 March 2009As I type this, I am sipping on my protein shake…. the same kind I have each morning and have been drinking for two years…. and sip my much needed coffee.

2 Year Anniversary Appointment Moved Up!!!!!!
27 December 2008I ate a lot over the Christmas holiday. I did not deprive myself. I enjoyed every goody and each meal to the fullest. I figured I would put on a few pounds. Now I had dropped to my all time lowest right before Christmas Eve. This is only 8 lbs more than I weighed when I was [...]

Out With The Old, In With The New!
1 January 2008Awwwwww, a new year. I love New Years. It always brings the hope of a fresh start. 2007 was not a very good year for us. Well for the most part, it was not. The surgery was good, that I will attest. But everything else seemed to have the opposite of the midas touch. It [...]
