POSITIVE ATTITUDE

I hope everyone has had a fabulous new year thus far!
I have been sitting around thinking, and have decided.. I'm gonna turn this whole TTC thing around! I am gonna focus on losing the weight that I started the blog doing, since this is the 1 thing that I CAN control. I figured if I had a positive attitude, and the weight starts falling off, then that would help in the TTC process, and I would not be stressed at "trying" to have a baby. I know when its right in God's eyes, then I will have 1.. that is something I know.
I officially kicked this off on yesterday, Monday Jan. 25th. (I wrote this down, so when I look back and read my blogs, I can find the date that I started.) I am doing the Biggest Loser on the Wii and walking at LEAST 3 miles a day, and doing wii fit. I am SOOO very determined.

Also, on a very different note. I am asking for prayers for several people that I know. I'm only gonna give 1st names. A girl that I went to school with, tried to commit suicide, somehow.. in the process, the gun moved and shot her jaw.. she has a long recovery ahead, but she is alive. Amy is her name. But the ENTIRE family is needing prayers, as well as the friends, everyone is taking this very very hard.

A friend of mine's father in law is not doing very well. He was diagnosed with cancer and they are not giving him very long to live.

At my work, they laid off 10% of the work force Sunday. I am saddened for the group of ladies that I work(ed) with. I feel so guilty that I still have a job although they do not, and quite a few of these ladies have been working there longer than I have.

Sorry to leave this on such a sad note. But these things are laying on my heart, and prayer is VERY VERY powerful.

Have a Great Week!

Diet and Exercise

The dr. told me that I could start back with my exercising..
Sssllllooowwwwlllyyy... so that my body can still be healing. SO, today I am jumping back on the train and getting my body going like I was doing. I'm starting off with a slow walk and increase the intensity, or whatever I feel I can do each day. I have not gained any weight, to my amazement, but that's a good thing, right! I'm thinking that the pounds will fall off the 1st 2 weeks, like it always does, and then be back to normal, which means I'll have to work my BUTT off! ;) Which is FINE with me!
Thanks to each of you for being supportive during this time that I've had so much going on!

Have a GREAT week!

FANTABULOUS NEWS!!!!

Yes, this is totally different from yesterday's post. I mentioned in that post everything happens for a reason. While I was upset on my way home the other day I called the dr. office to see about getting my surgery done NOW! Well, they called me back this morning, and after 2 hours of phone calls... drum roll please.....
I have a surgery date of July 8th to have my tubes put back together so I can have a BABY!!! I am super so excited that I have done nothing but pace the floors... the surgery will be in Mobile at 7:30 am, good thing is I will still be sleep while they "knock me out" LOL!
I have got back on the diet bandwagon this is exactly what I needed to get my behind in gear! I have stock piled the cabinets and refrigerator and dusted off the tv and treadmill. =)
Thanks for all the positive words and emails, I sooo needed to hear the things that I did!
Love to you all!!!

Depressed....

Ok folks I need some help here!

I have fell off my dieting bandwagon! The good news is that I have not gained any weight, the bad thing is I haven't lost any either! =( ( I could use some motivating words!)

I have been demoted the positiion I have been in at work for the last 8 years. I view this as positive and negative. I have been wanting to change to another role for quite sometime and this may just be the time to do it! EVEYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON! and I am well aware of that, but GEEEZ why does it have to be so hard?

Also, on the update for the reversal. I have been cleared from my dr. in Hattiesburg for my blood pressure, it has come down YAY! so I am waiting on the dr. in Mobile to let me know when to have the surgery, maybe it will be sooner than I though ;) I definately hope so!

Thanks for listening to me whine! LOL!

Have a GREAT week!
