One Last Time

A couple of months ago my doctor told me I need to lose 100 pounds quickly or I will be putting my health at risk.  Those are not words you want to hear at age 43.  Because of my parents health issues, he said I am predisposed to the same issues if I don't do something now.  Well, I've tried almost every diet I know of, so I am trying one last thing before the recommended surgery.  

Yesterday, I walked into the Diet Clinic at Premier Walk In Clinic and received a B-12 shot and 30 day supply of Phentermine.  I will have to go every two weeks for the shot and only eat between 600 and 800 calories a day with nothing after 7:00 p.m.  I should lose between 2 to 4 pounds a week.  I really want this to work and I am going to give it all I have.

So far today, I have taken in 190 calories and am feeling pretty energetic.  Not a hunger pain to be felt.  Although, I do wish I had some raw veggies to gnaw on.  Oh well, sounds like a trip to the grocery store is in my plans today.

He's Home!!!

It’s official, my son is back in the states.  We were able to see his plane land and what a great moment that was.  After turning in their weapons they were bused to the Soldiers Field House where family and friends were waiting.  As they marched in, the room went crazy cheering for their loved ones.  It was such a great moment.  They were prayed over and then released to reunite with their family.  Jeremiah was so glad to see us and we him.  I just wanted to hold on forever, but I had to share him with his dad and grandparents.  I have pretty much watched him all day.  I can’t take my eyes off him.  He really looks good.  We made a quick stop at the PX on base so he could buy himself some “civies” (street clothes) his others are in storage.  Then whisked him off to eat some lunch.  He is staying with us tonight, but we will have to return him by 11:00 tomorrow morning.  We will see him for only a short while, but he keeps reassuring me that he will be home for a month in 3 weeks.  Wha...

She Laughed

April 17, 2009 She laughed a lot tonight, repeatedly quoted the same things she has for years and constantly reminded me how much she loved me. She teased the boys and they laughed along, she was having a great time. This woman has had such an impact in my life, I don’t even know if I could begin to tell the story. She is stubborn, sassy, spirited, hard working, God fearing and most of all full of love for everyone around her. Effie Marie was born May 10, 1926 as the middle child. She had 2 older brothers and 3 younger sisters. Don’t even think about calling her Effie, she didn’t like that name. She was to be called Marie. She only loved one man in her life and she lost him in a tragic car accident after 37 years of marriage. She gave birth to 5 sons, the last pregnancy resulting in twin boys. We teased her that God didn’t give her a girl because the name she picked out was not acceptable. She always wanted a daughter named Spring Dawn. She worked for years at a Orange p...
