Another Goal Met!

As of today, I have lost 75 POUNDS!

WOW!
I am down 3 pants sizes, and bought an XL shirt on our trip.
My mind can't keep up with my body. It is a hard thing to keep up with!
What a Blessing!

A Vacation Away? !!!!





Hubby and I took to opportunity to get away! We started out with what was suppose to be a Orv's Pizza (were he works), golf outing. Well, it was October 10th and SNOWING! They ended up bowling!



We then continued on to Door County, for a nice relaxing trip enjoying the fall colors, touring wineries, and spending time together. Yes, it snowed some more, and was COLD. Our favorite thing that we looked forward to for some time was that we took a Segway tour. (We had wanted to do this at Disney, but I weighed too much.)





I have included some of my favorite photos from our trip

Three Month Surgeon Visit

Thanks to the account I am assigned to in Logansport, IN, I am a little bit late at going to my 3 month follow up visit.

Everything went very well. He was very pleased with my progress and all of the numbers that came back from my blood draw. Protein levels are very good. I work hard to get it in! He wants me to take one more Iron a day, plus another B12. Levels were within range, but on the low end.
I do have a bad itchy rash, so we are stopping the Biotein and Zinc to see if it goes away. (They are the last two newer items started.)

My Dietician visit also went very well. She said that she doesn't have to say this often, but needed me to increase my CARBS! She also wanted me to not get bored. She encouraged me to go to McDonald's, order a kids Happy Meal cheeseburger, and throw away 3/4ths of the bun, eat it and ENJOY it. The apples and chocolate milk were good too!

The most important part, is that I am making life changes....
