Stuff...

I continue to struggle with blogging... and I just read Sandy's (Weightloss Rollercoaster) post on her NEW blog (Rest of Our Days) and it REALLY, REALLY resonated with me.  When I started the blog, I had no idea on the journey I was about to embark on over the next 3 years...  WOW.  I wouldn't change anything, really, but I do find myself moving into this new part of my life where I am feeling good, healthy, happy - and where blogging isn't as critical to my success as it used to be.  Am I going to stop?  No... but I definitely have slowed down.  I still have a lot to accomplish with this wonderful tool, but I also have a lot to do life-wise, that may not be as "open booked" as it used to be...  Maybe so, maybe not.  Who knows!

At any rate, it is good to think about, and I am glad to know that others are feeling similar things.  I did see my NP yesterday, and got great feedback about how I am doing.  I weighed in yesterday at 209, and that puts me officilly 80+ down from my highest weight.  And only about 5-7 away from my pre-pregnancy weight!  In fact, one of my co-workers today said that I looked "fantstic - like right before you got pregnant"... Bless her!  I am at a good restriction point where I am really having to make good choices, chew my food well, and remember all the lap-band rules.  I am glad that I am there.  Not too much struggle, but also it is a very evident tool that I am aware of.  Sometimes when I am too loose, I forget.  Not so much now.

Otherwise, life continues.  A few ups, a few downs - pretty typical, all in all!  I am looking forward to going on vacation soon for Lucia's spring break and seeing some wonderful friends... heck, family!  And also seeing family too!  I'm sure I'll post before then.  Take Care!
