Making Decisions

It's been a while since I've been here. I've been doing a lot of thinking. I think I have decided not to do the Lap Band. I just keep having this nagging feeling that I have to try one more time on my own. And I keep having this nagging feeling that this is surgery I wouldn't do well with. I already have stomach problems, and after I went out to lunch with some friends yesterday, I was convinced that any kind of bariatric surgery would be a mistake. Not because they talked me out it. It was when my stomach suddenly started churning for no reason other than I had eaten something. Ever since i had the gallbladder surgery, I've had stomach issues. sometimes it comes on suddenly—like yesterday. Sometimes it builds up overtime. Anyway, you get the picture.

I'm winning!

OK, what am I going to do then? Get back into logging in to Sparkpeople.com for one. That'll be a start. And if I would just exercise, I'd be more than half way there. What I need is a workout partner. Someone I'm comfortable with that I can count on. When I did my absolute best was when I had workout partner. So how do I find someone? Advertise? Any suggestions? I checked the WV teams on Sparkpeople.com, but people don't seem to be consistent. I don't know where else to look. Also, I'd the person to be close to my age and preferably female—just for the sake of having more common interests. Men tend to try to win all the time. And I'm not in the mood for stroking egos. This is about me. Anyway, you get the picture here, too.

I'm also still trying to use therapy. I want to give that a fighting chance. Anyway, more when I figure out who I am.

Another Cold/flu/virus

Got another cold/flu/virus. It's the weather. It's keeping the germs active in the dampness. Ugh. I haven't done much this week. I haven't felt like it. But things will be moving along soon. 

Two More Miles

Walked another two miles with some co-workers who walk virtually everyday. I wangled myself a standing invite. Thanks Paul and Terry.

Walking

Walked with a friend at lunch time today. Feel good now. 

Heal Your Life

Sorry I haven't been around as much. I've been fighting a sinus infection that moved into my ears and glands. I'm taking an antibiotic, and feeling a little better. But this has definitely been a challenge—lightheadedness making me out of balance, leading to nausea, and fatigue. Yuk.

So, I hope to be back into the game soon. I just wanted you to know that I'm still here.

Heal Your Life
Before I go here's something I read recently that hit the mark with me: Women who hold onto pounds hold onto their dreams. Kinda odd, but think about it for a minute. For all the dreams you haven't given up on, you've held onto the pounds on your body. Isn't it time to let it go?
