This past weekend was so much fun but also very very tiring…What is that famous adage, something like you will always be tied to your home is more true then I have ever realized before…I remember as a child always laughing and telling my parents they didn’t have a life because all they did every weekend was some project on the house or landscaping and I swore to myself that I would never become like them…Boy did that come back and smack me hard in the face…Why is it when your younger you think it’s going to be different for you but really we all do the same thing no matter who or how much money you make, we are prisoner’s to our home…LOL…

It seems like all I did this weekend was yard work and trimming all the roses that we have…And may I just say the person before us must have loved roses because they are everywhere and I mean everywhere…UGH! Now if you truly know me then you know I’m not the type who likes to work outside cause of the sun…Now on the bright side I thought yes I would be absorbing all this Vitamin D and get a little glow instead of being all pale…NO, that did not happen at all in fact you can’t even tell I was outside over the weekend…LMAO!

That is why I was MIA pretty much the whole weekend, trying to get this all done before the 4th of July weekend so maybe just maybe I can relax…Now that I think of it, I’m already thinking of my next projects…The work is never done…

Hope everyone has a great day!

I can’t believe I have been blogging for 1 yr. already…I never pictured myself doing something like this, but I couldn’t have done it without my readers because without you I’m nothing…I truly mean that with all of my heart, you will never know how much I care for each and every one of you…Even if you don’t comment, I care and always will…

I have to give a couple of special people in my life a shout out…First off I could never have done this without my husband who kept encouraging me to tell my story regardless how people perceived it…He always told me people needed to hear another side of the story regardless how bad it was…I love you honey and always will…Secondly I have to give a shout out to a dear friend who has become a sister to me who helped push me along when I was too afraid to be in the front and center…Naturegirl you will always have a place in our hearts and home…

How could I forget the people(Bloggers) who have accepted me and welcomed me with open arms into this community…And alot of them have become such dear, dear friends in the online world and real life…Here are just a few names mentioned: Melinda(recoveringfatty), Tammy T., Linda Eaves, Cari(gastricbypassbarbie), BariatricTV , Twitter Community etc…If I didn’t mention you, trust me your in my heart…

Again, I love everyone of you and thank you for letting me put my story out there…

Love,

I’m just curious if this happens to anyone else…I would say in the past year I feel my little new stomach growls and it actually hurts when this happens…It’s telling me it’s hungry and I need to eat…And when I eat the pain goes away…Now if you have been reading you know that I have had 2 Upper GI’s and everything is perfectly normal…So I’m asking does this happen to anyone else? I’m really confuse by this and I have kept this to myself but no more, cause it’s driving me nuts…Oh and I’m on Prevacid as well…

So if anyone has any thoughts please give me your opinion…

Thanks,

Why is it when I come back from a mini vacation that I end up sick…Does this happen to anyone else or just me? I swear it’s like every time I get around alot of people my immune system goes to shit(sorry) even more then normal and it’s not fair…I had such a wonderful time catching up with friends and making new ones that I hope to build on for years to come…If you have never been to Atlanta then you must check it out, especially the Hilton…OMG the bed was to die for, it was like laying on a bunch of clouds and that is no joke…Yes it was a little expensive especially for breakfast which included just a bagel, juice and it cost $16.00…Yeah, I know so my breakfast every day was a V-8 juice…LOL…Maybe that is why I lost weight…:)

And if you love outlet malls they have a great Prime Outlet mall right before you get into Atlanta…It has all the shops that alot of people love like Ann Taylor, Nike, Coach etc…Yes I had to stop in the Coach outlet to get me a new purse…How can you not when the purses are so cheap…Then on our way out we got some famous Georgia peaches and cantaloupe…Yummy…

So maybe to some it seems like a boring weekend, but it was a special journey for me which I hope to do once a year…

Do I need to have a plate of food when I’m working out? OK are you asking yourself if I have finally snapped…Maybe, but haven’t we all at some point…:) Why I’m bringing this up is because last night I was walking on my treadmill like I do almost every night and well I passed out and my sugar was 66…No I didn’t hurt the treadmill thank goodness, hubby doesn’t need that expense of getting me a new one…I have never had this happen to me before and don’t know if I like it either…I have been having rough days lately and that is why I haven’t been around much but is this something new or is it just because I have this lingering illness that is going on with me?

Either way I hope it clears up before I go on my trip this weekend…I don’t want to have to deal with something else…
