LOL That has been my life this year. Seems like the more that happens ( which should bring lots to write about) the less I write about it lol. Life is moving so fast. Can you believe its July already? I can’t. Tomorrow I will be 21 months out from my RNY Surgery. (Yes its just like when you have kids you count it in months still you hit that 2 year mark lol). Time seems to have flown by. So much in my life has changed. Yet some things have not, which is a good thing. No matter what I did the right thing for me and my family. Life is rocking and I just wish I had not waited so long.
Weight is still pretty much the same. I bounce between 169 and 170 every other day. Been there for weeks. *shrug* works for me lol. I rarely think about it anymore and aside from my morning weigh in I just live my life. After years and years and years of roller coaster dieting, its a strange feeling to not diet anymore. I just live. Period. I have lost 260lbs, if I cant be happy here I will never be happy. And I am happy so all is good. I have no motivation to do more then I am now, because I am see that where I am is really good. Stressing over losing that “last few pounds” will barely even get me in a smaller size let alone change anything else. If it happens it happens.
I have friends now lol. Yes I have lots of online friends and as much as I love you all its not the same and I think you will all agree with that. Every Wednesday night I head down to the local coffee place and have a delicious Sugar Free Skinny Vanilla Frappe and enjoy some absolutely wonderful conversations. Getting out of the for a “Felicia” day has really changed my home life to. I don’t feel so stuck here 24/7 anymore. Its really helped me break out of the rut I was in. I was happy and doing well just not moving forward if that makes sense. Now I am. Thanks to Tyna for the shove * * girl you have done more than you know.
We have been really trying to get our local WLS support group off the ground. Its a ton of fun and the people I have been meeting are so great! There are a lot of us that had surgery out of town that are wandering around looking for a place to land, with others that understand and hopefully the word will get out and people will start trickling in. Its a great feeling to help other with what you have learned. Some times it just takes an “ear” from someone whose been there, done that and *gets it*.
The pool has been great fun even though I have yet to have been able to get into it. Its just to cold yet. But its getting there. Joshua on the other hand is in there daily. Never a bad thing, that’s for sure. Need to run him up to the water park to play. hmmm Maybe I will do that tomorrow when I have the truck out.
Lots going on this month

Love it being so busy. So many things that I only sat and dreamed about being able to go to and now there are so few things that I don’t go do. Which leads to the price of gas. I N S A N E!! Its killed me off for doing more then a 1 time a week to town thing. I just cant afford it anymore. Our budget is screaming as it is with the prices of groceries and energy so the gas prices are just a topper. I am scared to get this months electric bill. Should be ugly now that the AC’s are in and on. (Was 95 here yesterday - yuck). Well I figure they will just keep taking till I cant pay anymore. Frankly they can have it all. Not worth the stress anymore. I will pay till I cant then they can have the whole lot of it lol. What is that saying. Cant get blood out of a turnip? Well HI! My name is Turnip! I am going to go do what I can do and pay as I do it. It will all work out. Always does. I guess what makes me mad is the senselessness of it all not really the price hikes. Its WHY the prices are going up like they are as fast as they are. GREED irritates me.
Welp its 8 o’clock so I better get the kiddo moving and the water on in the garden. I hope everyone is doing well.
Have a WONDERFUL week!

FINALLY we did it lol. Every year this comes and goes and we always miss it (usually because of me). This year we did it. Mind you in our own backyard lol but hey we did it! It was a lot of fun. Last time I managed to squeeze into this tent, the 3 of use couldn’t fit and for sure couldn’t have slept in here. Now there was plenty of room but we still have plans for a bigger one lol. Joshua is now the one getting to big to fit HAHAHA. We had a great time. WE BBQ’d hot dogs and beans, had home made coleslaw and vegged out in the fresh air watching the Shrek trilogy lol. Ahhh roughing it at its finest HAHAHA. Joshua wants to do it again next weekend. We will see. Dale is on call so it makes it kind of hard but it is the 4th on Friday so we may do something like this so we can sit out and enjoy the area fireworks.
Hope everyone is having just a wonderful weekend!!
