My First Weight Watchers Meeting (Second time around)

Well I went to my first weight watchers meeting yesterday, February 26, and loved it! I really feel like this is going to be a huge success. This time around I want to do this for me! Attending the meeting practically by myself is a challange. But I know I will get to know other people and form a strong group. I promised you all I would keep you posted along the weight loss journey, so being my first post of this journey I must be completely honest.

I weighed in at a whopping 245.0 lbs. I can't believe I let myself get this big. But it's ok, I'm doing something about it. I don't know if I will post my weight every week but I will periodically. So keep reading and praying! Thank you ahead of time for your prayers and encouragement!

Loves & Hugs

Prayer Request

Please pray for me. I went to the doctors today, YET AGAIN. This time my doctor believes I might have something wrong with my gallbladder. I had some unfamiliar pain yesterday around my diaphragm and when I went to the doc he pushed on and around my gallbladder and it hurt like heck. So I will be receiving a call from the sonogram lab sometime real soon to set up a time to have a sonogram done. We will have to wait and see what the results of that are before the next step is taken. Whether the next step is the surgeon or the GI doc. I'll keep you posted with this too.

The Beginning of My New Life!!!

Tomorrow, February 26, I will be turning 25 years old. OH MY GOODNESS! I will be a quarter of a century old. At first I wasn't excited about the idea of this until I spoke to my mom and dad and about all the health problems I have been having. It was brought to my attention that it was time for me to lose weight. So starting tomorrow I will be attending the Weight Watcher meetings every Tuesday night at 6. I will keep you posted on my progress and rest assure, I'll tell you all how much I lose each week so that not only will I have my meeting here but also friends out there keeping me accountable. I appreciate all the help that can be given and I make a promise to you all, but more importantly to myself that I am going to lose the weight. This photo was taken in Dec and I just want to track my progress. I'll periodically put pics up to show my weightloss! Wish me luck, but more importantly, pray for me to be true to myself and do what I'm suppose to do. I see so much opportunity for some really BIG changes when I lose the weight (start trying to have a family, etc). So keep me in your prayers!!!

SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE

Surprise says all my friends, including my boyfriend Aaron :-)

Then he pops the question...and guess what I said?

Cutest Video Ever!!!

AWW How Cute!!!

If you all don't know I'm a paid nursery worker at my church and I normally take care of the kids under 3 yrs old. Well I was at church this morning and one of our brand new babies, Khloe (she's 4 weeks old) was going to be coming for church service... funny thing is I had a dream last night that she was going to come to church and I was going to be taking care of her. Well she ended up coming to church and I was the one that was going to be taking care of her... she couldn't be more than 8.5 lbs. Cute as a button, when I am sitting there looking at her all I was thinking about was how I just can't wait to have my own. It begins my fantasies of being a mom and everyone admiring MY baby :-) And I know when Aaron and I become pregnant everyone on here will be informed! Well I have to head to bed now so I will talk to you later!!!

LUCK WOULD HAVE IT...

I went to the doctors on Friday to have a checkup done for the meds I'm taking and I was explaining to my doc that my big toe on my right leg was a little numb. So he was trying some stuff on it and couldn't really figure out what was wrong and then he mentioned that it looked like the toe nail was ingrown... so he said that he could take care of it which was good cause I really didn't know who to go see for it. And he ended up cutting off half of the nail...I wasn't expecting that. So need-less to say I got over my sickness and now I'm hobbling around trying not to hurt my toe. One day real soon I'll be back to normal :-). Thanks for listening!

It's Back To Work!

So, the illness has subsided just a little and has allowed me to return to work. Thank goodness cause I was running out of money :-P Neways. I am not feel 100% again yet but I will eventually. I didn't realize how much this sickness knocked me out. I started work again today and just being awake made me feel like I had run a marathon. (But I hadn't) So now I'm back to work, I have mixed feelings about that. I really didn't like being at home with nothing to do but it was also nice cause I could relax without stress. I guess I can't have my cake and eat it too. Oh well. Well I'll write again soon.

Loves and Hugs

Same Ol' Same

Well it's now Monday, Feb. 11th and I have yet to go back to work. My strength hasn't returned to normal yet. So I visited the doc again today and he's still convinced that I have bronchitis but this time it's a stomach pain, too. He gave me a bag of meds and sent me on my way. I hope he is right in giving me all these. But hey he is the doc. Well I'll let you know how it's going in a few days or so. Just continue to pray. Thanks. Loves and Hugs.

I AM FED UP!

Ok, I know the last time I wrote it was as an update for my illness...but now it's more like a pain. I have been off work since Friday, Feb 1 and it's now the 7th. I'm "sick" of being sick. I was suppose to be well by now. Right now I'm stopped up, hoarse, and can't breathe. If I do the littlest of things (Activity) I lose my breathe. BLAH. I'm about to finish the z-pack and I don't feel an ounce better. I know I'm complaining but when you have nothing better to do than rest that's what I tend to do. Sorry. I hope I can go back to work tomorrow, even if it is Friday, but I'm not too sure.

I just got a call from my mother-in-law that my grandmother-in-law was put into the hospital because she has an infection on her toe that can not be reversed, so they will be ambutating the toe really soon. Pray for her.

Feel free to Comment.

Love you all!

Health Update

Well, I went to the doctor today, after missing two days of work. He said that I have the stomach virus everyone else has, Bronchitis and a sinus infection. Yeah those all three together has not been fun. Just continue to pray that I start feeling better real soon. Thanks. Bye bye!

I want a baby!

I know everyone has an opinion on when Aaron and I should start our family...I can't help but daydream of having a little one. I see others having babies and I'm envious. I want my own. I know financially we aren't there yet, but when will we be? I know we aren't there job wise, but when will we be? Again like everything else, God is in control. People keep joking that my sickness is "morning" sickness but I promise that can't be. Sorry. Well I shall keep everyone posted, it could be year(s) from now. (Hopefully not)

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

I haven't written the check but I was going to over the weekend! Thank you for your generousity :-) I love you both and greatly appreciate the gift! I will definitely go get the earrings I want as soon as this stupid bug goes away. Just an update on that...I just ate my first solid of the day- a cracker! Yippy, so far it has stayed down...we will see. I'll probably talk to you tomorrow and give you an update then. Love you both.

Your daughter,

Michelle
