I am into my 3rd day of my liquid fast. The 1st 2 days were not all that great. The headaches are nothing like I have had before. Today when I woke up I didn't feel hungry right away, so maybe that is a good thing. I'm going camping witht he family this weekend so, I just got to keep my head straight and try not to thing about all the good food everyone will be eating. 12 more days to go.

Well, last Wednesday, june 10th I went for my last weight management appointment. it didn't go over so well. I gain 2.5 lbs, but I lost BMI again. This scares me 2 ways. 1-they won't let me have the surgery because I gain weight or 2- They won't let me have the surgery because of my BMI. this whole thing is getting to be a little overwhelming. I am finally done with school for the summer, so now I can start hitting the gym more because I haven't been there in about 3 months. Shannon really doesn't like that. I work 3rd, I go to school 3 days a week, both kids are in sports and I sleep maybe, maybe 4 a day. So hopefully I can now work on losing some weight. John and I went for a walk tonight while Dominic &  Kendyl rode their bikes. We went hat we think is 5 miles round trip. We took the kids for ice cream. We left the house around 7p and got home at 9:30p. Just in time to get ready for work. Now I wait to hear from the insurnace company. Dr. Gluck's office told me it should take about 3 weeks for an answer. Then I believe once  I get the OK it is 1-3 months out for surgery. Wish me luck on 1st time approval.

Well, Next Wednesday, June 10th, I go in for my last weight management appointment and then my fate is in the hands of the insurance company. I really want to have this surgery done. I see my husband running around like a little kid and I would love to have just a teaspoon full of that energy. So lets keep our fingers cross and hope for the best news of the year.

Hi-

It's been a long time and so much going on. Kids in sports and going to class 3 times a week and working 40+ hours a week. I feel like there a really not enough hours in a day for me, I so could use a loooong vacation. We are going to take the kids to Mackinwa in the middle of July. I sure can not wait. Last Friday I weighted in for the 5th time. I lost the most I have since this all started. I lost 4 lbs. Shannon the PA rides me alot exercise. If I could get more hours in my day, then I would be able to exercise more. I try little things like parking out further in the parking lots and eating better, Love the Smart choice meals. I have one more appointment on June 10th, then everything gets submitted to the insurace company and hopefully, hopefully things will go smoothly and we will have a date soon. It would be nice to have some of my summer so, that I can spend some much needed time with my children. Football for my son will strat up the 1st week in August and classes start back up in September so maybe we can get it done before the craziness starts back up again. I will check back in next month to do another up date, Happy Memorial Day!

Ok, here we go again. It's the beginning of a new week and I need to get back on that diet train. I was so bad this weekend. I could blame the fact it was Super Bowl Weekend, but I can only blame myself. I just have to put last week behind me and push harder this week. I had my 1st group meeting and meet with the PA. Now I have to start tracking my food intake. My husband has been a great source of help in getting me started. We joined a new fitness club that I am going to tonight and get back on my schedule. I am really looking forward to buying new clothes and looking as GOOd as he does. Well, TATA for now!!

Well, lets see. It is 1am and I am at work. There isn't alot going on right now, but that is ok, it gives me time to collect my thoughts. I go for my phsyic evaluation tomorrow after I get out of class. Oh, did I mention that not only do I work full time, but I am also a part time student and a family at home. I am a little nervous about it. I joke about not needing this to tell me I crazy, I already know this. I think we all are alittle in some ways. I don't want something to show up that I feel is untrue and hinder me from having my surgery.

I am really excited to get things going. On Thursday, I go see Dr. Gluck's office for 2 different appointments. My husband went for his 6 months check up yesterday. Things couldn't be better for him. He now weights 232, down from 349 and went from a size 44-46 in jeans to a 34. I am hoping for the same results, but I know that it won't come as fast. I know I have alot of work ahead of me, but I know it is going to be soooooooo worth it!!

I can't wait unitl I can go into a store and buy exactly what I want in the size I want. I have to do 6 months of weight management and then it can be submitted to the insurance company. If all goes well, I could be having it done by the middle of summer. I really hope there are not able bumps along the way. I will keep you all posted!
