Thanks for the welcome, y'all. (Remember I'm from south Alabama.) It is great to know I still have friends.
I will update my stats and add in photos when I get a chance....not in the early morning before work.
Here are my news updates:
-my adorable grandaughter is 6 months old. She is a very drooly girl.
She is the first thumb sucker I've ever been around....spit the pacifier out in favor of a thumb.
-I think I had posted that my wonderful man was laid off in October 2007 after working 26 years with the company. He got another job in a new field. Well, the small company he was working with had major financial issues and dang if he wasn't laid off in September 2008. My gracious!!!!! He has obtained a new job. Thanks be to God.....but we continue to pray for those still battling unemployment.
-I recently went through a herniated disc saga. Lord have mercy! I don't know how I did it, but my sciatic nerve was involved. PAIN! The belt lipectomy was nothing compared with this pain. I spent six weeks propped on my side like Jaba the Hut. This is when I gained some of the weight....slugs do not burn calories.
During this time, my unemployed wonderful man came to work with me. I sat like the queen I am in a multicushioned chair while he moved throughout my second graders!
Anyway, I had back surgery in December. The recovery phase was yucky, but I am doing well now.....I just need to get back to my walking program.
This is getting long so I'll stop for now. I just want to add how happy I am to be back here. I am eating low carb and moving toward Atkins induction. (I'm a type 1 diabetic and jumping to less than 20 carbs too rapidly causes insulin reactions.) I'll figure out a challenge to join.
Later,
