Results from the Doctor Visit

First of all... THANKS to ALL of you for your PRAYERS!! They have been answered!! YAY!!

Ok.. first things first..

I have what I call the "white coat disease" LOL which makes my dang blood pressure shoot sky high at a dr visit and this one was no different than any other.. SOOO I have to get on blood pressure medicine.. yuck!

I have to start taking iron pills because I am anemic.. which I already knew.. just too stupid to take the things.. but as of yesterday I take 2 a day! =)

I have fibroids in my uterus... this is a good AND a bad thing! The bad thing is they are fibroids and are not helping my anemia at all... The good thing is my insurance covers the surgery for the removal of the fibroids (can't remember for the life of me what that is called) but while he is in there taking those out he will TIE MY TUBES BACK UP!!! YAY!!!

He said my weight loss is great and to keep it up, because it helps him while is doing the procedure (not as much fat to work around).

I go back this Friday to do a CBC and pelvic exam to find out exactly how many fibroids I have and all that good stuff..

Again, thanks for all the prayers, you all do not know how much it means to me that I have my prayers answered..

We are hoping for a June or July surgery, but like Dr. K says "we'll cross that bridge when we get there"

Sandra, thanks so much for referring him to me, you have TRULY helped me more than you know!

I have lost a total of 40 pounds and continuing to keep it going..

Thanks again to all of you!

Poem

My sister in law emailed me this poem and she sent it to me, not knowing that I truly need it! It came at the perfect time. I thought I'd share it with all of you.
Being a Christian, trying to do the best raising my 2 kids ( and wanting more), it showed me a few things, that I need to teach them as well.



BEST POEM IN THE WORLD!


I was shocked, confused, bewildered as I entered Heaven's door, Not by the beauty of it all, Nor the lights or its decor. But it was the folks in Heaven who made me sputter and gasp-- The thieves, the liars, the sinners, the alcoholics and the trash. There stood the kid from seventh grade, who swiped my lunch money twice. Next to him was my old neighbor, who never said anything nice. Herb, who I always thought was rotting away in hell, was sitting pretty on cloud nine, looking incredibly well. I nudged Jesus, What’s the deal? I would love to hear your take. How'd all these sinners get up here? God must've made a mistake. And why's everyone so quiet, so somber - give me a clue.' 'Hush, child,' He said, 'they're all in shock. No one thought they’d be seeing you.' * JUDGE NOT. *

Remember...Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian no more than standing in your garage makes you a car.


I hope all of you enjoyed this as much as I did! Its a lil different from my usual post, but I have a very stressful week coming up, and it just reminded me Why I love God! and what He is to me!

I hope all of you have a good week!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEASA

Today is my wonderful sister, Leasa's birthday. I want to give her the recognition that she sooo deserves.


As a child growing up, we were always told that one day we'd wish we got along because we would eventually need each other. Little did we know that would very well be true.


We now live about an hour and half from each other and text/talk to each other several times a day. If it weren't for her on some days I would be a wreck and I'm not even kidding. She knows when I am upset at a certain time and will somehow feel it and text me "u ok" or "u quiet, whats up". Ya know, the things only sisters can share.


She has been through a lot in her few years, and it has brought us even closer together than I would have ever thought possible. From, the marriage thing, to wanting and having children. I NEVER wanted kids until I got pregnant with my daughter and now I want a house full of them, whereas, she wanted a houseful and FINALLY got the angel she so deserves 3 years ago.


Leasa, I love you and want the world to know! I hope you have/had a wonderful birthday. It is your day to shine!

On another note. I am stuck on the dang scale! UGH!! I have faithfully been running or walking for an hour everyday, which has been burning about 400 or more calories YIPPEE!! I can actually run for the entire hour! I was so excited the first time I did that. I believe I am stuck because we are all dealing with the cold season around here and it is so hard to eat when you dont' want to, I think I'm not eating enough so my body is holding on to it... when it is supposed to be LETTING go!! ha ha!!
well I hope everyone is doing well
will try to post again soon

Nervous

I am feeling extremely antsy or nervous. I have those days, as I have less than a month to go to the dr. to find out about the tubal reversal we are praying that we can have. Sometimes I lay and cry at night because its "all my fault", but my hubby assures me that the "man upstairs" is in full control. I have to date lost around 35 pounds which is OUTSTANDING if I must say so myself.
Any positive words from any of you would help me greatly. and remember to add me to your prayers.
thanks
Leigh

AWESOME HUBBY!!

I have the MOST awesome husband and needed to let everyone know! I recently asked someone that reads my blogs, what is the best way to tell how many calories you burn, and she told me with a heart rate monitor (thanks Jen) and thats EXACTLY what Jamie got me for Valentine's Day! I was sooo happy, no its not romantic, but he went and got me the exact thing I need to see how I am doing getting the weight off so that we can have some kiddos! No words can ever tell him how TRULY happy I am to have him in my life!

Hope you all have a wonderful day,
Happy Valentine's Day,
Leigh

30 POUNDS

I'm so excited as i have lost 30 pounds to date! It's not easy, but yet not near as hard as I anticipated that it would be. I'm hoping to lose another 20 before we go to the dr. but I am not gonna push it too hard. We have been fighting all the sicknesses around here and I have not had an appetite to eat, so I had lost 3 pounds since Monday, that is good and bad. hopefully I will have another update sooner, just a lil under the weather.

Have a good week and thanks for reading,
Leigh
