Stupid Migraine!

What do you think? I need some help...

I rarely ever had a migraine... maybe 6 in my entire life. Up until my Lap-band surgery.

This is my 4th migraine since surgery.... and they all have made their appearance two days after "Aunt Flo" has visited.

Went and had my eyes checked.. I have perfect vision. So now I am debating on what kind of Doctor to see next. Any suggestions?

CAN I BE FIXED??? I hope so!

Uh, Oh! I have a personal trainer...

Have you ever felt suckered (or guilt-ed) into making a purchase?

ahhh.. this is just another of my many "sucker" purchases. Not a real bad purchase (actually one of my better ones) but probably not prudent. ; )

I've been wanting to see a personal trainer at my gym but they wanted $60.00 an hour. On our family budget that was a little steep, so, they have an option where if you double up with someone they will just charge you $30.00 per hour and you'll get trained together.

SOOO... I went in this evening to meet a gal who also wanted to do a double training session. We talked with the trainer about pricing and frequency, we decided on once a week for 1 hour for 6 weeks. Then, the gal says that she would really rather do 2 sessions a week for 6 weeks. (which of course doubles the price) I wasn't really prepared to commit to $60.00 a week for six weeks but what can I say... I AM A 33 YEAR OLD STILL DEALING WITH PEER PRESSURE! And I walked away with a twice a week, six week commitment. (MAYBE SHE WAS A PLANT?) LOL!

Yep, I am $360.00 poorer, but hopefully I'll be more than $360.00 healthier when my six weeks is over!

My husband is on a business trip and I was afraid of his reaction... but dang it, he is so amazingly supportive! No anger at all. Oh how I love that man! Anyways... overall this will be good for me. (I just wasn't prepared to make this financial commitment at this exact moment.)

Happy personal training to me! I start on Thursday!!! --Heather

Shopping! NSV!

So yesterday, I walked into Old Navy, picked out a large and and a few extra large shirts... took them home and tried them on. ANNNNDDD they FIT!! The large is a little snug but I wanted it as a undershirt so it works perfect. (the XL fit great if not a little loose)

This is coming from a girl who used to wear a 3x from Old Navy and who had to do all her ordering online (once they took out the plus sizes from the stores). I can't tell you how great this feels!!! It's amazing! One of my first noticeable NSV! (non scale victories)

Just had to share! The next step, will be to get my booty down in size, so that I can quit ordering bottoms online. : )

Post-Surgery and Today!




So there you have it! I hate the booty shots... that is where I carry all my weight. Blah!

It took me a moment to see a difference but once I looked at the pictures a bit a later on I could see it. You would think that 40lbs would make a bigger difference. I bet the next 40lbs will be HUGE! : )

So there you have it!

It's moments like this... when I ask myself, why in the world, am I putting this all out there, for all to see. UGH! Feeling a bit vulnerable at this moment. sigh.

Status Update - 40 lbs - Oh Yeah Baby!



I did it!!! Woot! Woot!

Summer Fun - What a mess!

He is going "to town" on his snow cone.


He wears his battle wounds proudly! For all to see!
(and for about 2 days.. that stuff stains)


Not a drop left! Often, by watching my kids, I am reminded to enjoy the simple moments of life. I know he is a mess... but man, oh, man, he enjoyed that snow cone. Happy first day of Summer!!

Enjoy the moments.
