I did it, and so can you!!

Okay, okay, it's been awhile since I posted, even though I promised to blog at least once a week. Ok, so I promised, but I didn't pinky-swear, and apparently that's the only way to be sure of something, according to my 7 & 6 year old daughters!!

On to the milestones. On Aug. 14/08, I had my surgery in Henderson with the WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC Dr. R. Now, I'm just under 7 months out, and I can't believe the changes in me - neither can anyone else!! At the time of surgery, I weighed in at 301 l… Continue

I am so excited!! As of this morning, my weight is down 81 lbs!! That's 1/2 way to my goal!! The last time I weighed this was about 15 years ago. We flew to England to my hubby's Gran's 90th birthday. I remember seeing myself on tape and being disgusted with the way I looked, I was so fat! It's all perspective. Now, at the same weight, I feel thin!! My friends are all commenting on the fact that I'm disappearing...ok, they're still dreaming, but I do feel so much better.

This week, hubby &… Continue

I realized a few days ago that this year I'll be able to keep at least one resolution - to lose weight!! Thanks Dr. R.!!

I haven't been here in a while (I know, same old song), but another resolution I hope to keep is to blog at least once a week - I'll just have to schedule better (right Kelty-Lee?).

I'm down 75 lbs., only 5 1/2 lbs.!!! And Christmas was a blast, especially food-wise. Last year, I'd go through a box of chocolates in no time. This year, I ate two Lindor chocolates and felt ill… Continue

OK ladies (and gentlemen), minds out of the gutter!! Just wanted to give you a quick update before I make dinner... The stomach is doing quite well, thank you!! The 2 weeks on just chicken noodle soup, yogurt, Gatorade & crackers, plus tripling my Prilosec dosage, has done the work. And yes, true to form, one of my first meals was a salad!! As a matter of fact, I've been having salad almost every day for lunch, which is totally not the pre-MGB me... but I must say that I make a mean salad (o… Continue

Ok, ok, I know it's been awhile (actually, since Sept. 21st, if my blog is anything to go by). Obviously, I have a problem with getting back into a routine once school starts. Actually, I've turned into a bookworm, and have been ignoring a lot of other things to rest and relax during the day while the girls are at school - yes, Kelty - ignoring laundry, cooking, cleaning, posting - everything except working - and that's only 10 hours per week!!

So, what's new, what's new, what's new.....well, I… Continue
