I'm home. Safely home. And have been sleeping like a big ol' bear.
It was great to spend a few days with Sis #1 and her kiddos before they headed back. We took them all to the gym with the indoor pool and it was great. I swear my nephew ran up the two story waterslide over 20 times.
No more morning headaches, which is awesome. I still have the full time day headache, but I can handle those. I think a really good hour long or more massage would fix that. Even so, it's so worth it, just to not have the daily agony that was waking up.
And, of course, the eye dialation thing is back. I knew if I got some uninterrupted sleep I'd be all set.
I've slept most of the afternoon today. I ate a bowl of cereal. Some medication is making me have no appetite. Which is fine with me. I hope that I can lift the fog because the gym is calling my name. I love being around my sisters because they inspire me to get fit. They are so much thinner than I am, but built differently. But I know that if I keep at it and live the life I know I can, I will one day look like them.
Anyway, I'm keeping this short. Zoe and I have some catching up to do. I've missed her gigantically.
I can do this. The agony that was my morning headaches is gone.
Your assignment today is to give Sis #2 some props and encouragement. She is sooooo pretty and had decided to start on weight watchers. I hadn't seen her in a while and thought she looked amazing this last visit. So keep it up Sis #2. You can do it!!! If you've done WW before, leave her some great tips, mmmkay??
P.S. Hi to Nurse Vicky and Ashley. They tag teamed me while I was there and this was the visit where I had the best inpatient nurses. Vicky is sooooo dang funny. I miss you, but am glad to be gone! *smooches*
Posted by debutaunt at March 17, 2007 07:33 PMI give props to all sisters. They are the best--i know I have 4, each one different but still alike.
Glad you are better too.
Very glad you are home. One headache down, a few more to go. If Sis 2 has 1/8 of your determination she will be the spokesperson for WW soon.
Posted by: Claire at March 18, 2007 05:47 AMGO sis #2!! My Dallas bitches are doing it now, and are all kicking some ass.
I hate HAs.
Posted by: kami at March 18, 2007 09:45 AMglad your out of the 'big house' and i'm glad you've lost one of your HA's. I suffer from chronic neuralgia over my right eye brow ( from a dental implant gone bad) and I know the pain is debilitating. I hope yours are gone PDQ. no one needs to suffer with the dreaded HA's.
Good luck to anyone and everyone who is trying to lose weight. Its a tough thing but the rewards are worth the trouble.
take care and have fun with your Zoe
glad to hear that things are going a little better for ya! No more stays at the big house, ya hear?
Thinking of you,
Amanda
As WW future spokesperson... ah hem... I've lost 11 lb. in 8 weeks, and still losing. I love WW it's the only diet that I've been on that I can really eat anything I want, (including chocolate and beer - although I personally would NOT eat those together,) and still lose weight.
And I would like to say - screw u - to all those other weight loss programs that I tried that didn't work for me. (I've tried plently.)
And when I get so skinny that I could walk through my local grocery store wearing a bikini, you wont see me do that because
1) it's not socially acceptable where I live to walk around like a show-offish slut;
2) my stomach has such a blinding white glow that even if I wanted to be a show-offish bikini clad slut, it would just be too frightening.
And I would like to thank Jeanette for turning me on to WW - she is also kicking some major WW butt.
Most of all I would like to thank DEB for being such an inspiration for without her I would not have started to try new things (ie. CR '08 Billboard, painting, WW, coaching my son's Flag Football Team - Go Jags, and TAE KWON DO - I'm a green belt as of 3/8/07 - goal Black Belt by 40.)
Life is too short to be afraid to truely live.
[Is it too crass to say? Near death experiences - the great life motivator. Ummmm... maybe.]
DEB ROCKS! If she would not have kicked CANCER's ASS, I probably ... would not be who I am today. I love you, man. {sniff...sniff...}
Here's to DEBUMA - lite beer 2pt. Yessssssssss, life is good.
Posted by: sis #2 at March 18, 2007 11:46 PMWeighed in today: officially I have lost 12.6 lb. Thank you very little.
* I think it was toasting Deb with that lite beer that did it.
FYI - Deb's old standby toast...
"Here's to the men that we love.
Here's to the men that love us.
But the men that we love aren't the men that love us, so ...
F*** the men, here's to us."
