why have I not blogged in a while? well lemme tell ya!

So in Nov of 2012 was my first visit with my surgeon. from there they gave me a list of 1 million things to do and set me up for a nutrition class in feb 2013. So I was off and running, I have insurance that's a bit of a pain sometimes so every week I was on the phone with SOMEONE trying to get things all worked out. I had to hound my PCP for about 3 months to get the letter from him. Well, no I asked in Dec for the letter, he wrote a script... not gonna work so I explain what it needs to say. H

I have to get this off my chest - part 8

Well first let me just say my nails were way over due for some TLC and they look FANTASTIC!   Also slowly but surely my scale is moving down! I started at 306, today I was 294! This is   weight I’ve been fighting since I quit smoking. I have about 13 pounds more to go to get   back to where I was when I was smoking, that is my first goal! I am almost half way to it   which makes me feel so awesome. Now back to my story…     The following days and weeks after the guns had been repo

Ok sorry I havent written in a while we have been running like crazy for baseball and other   school things! I am back and I am back on track! That being said, normally when we are in   such rushes I have poor choices of foods and such. I have been doing such a great job in   this are and with little to no effort! Could this be because I am finally telling my story?   There has been a lot of things I have told here that I have never spoken about, still more -   but progress is pro

The following day I woke up and began getting ready for work, as I sat on the side of my bed pulling on my stockings he came into the room and I turned to   him and said "I want a divorce. I no longer wish to be married to you, I have been wasting my time." he was so shocked, he didnt know what to say! I left   for work, I dont recall crying even ONE tear! If anything I felt a huge weight lift off from me. I began thinking about my children and how the last thing I   wanted was for them

We moved into a place owned by a friend of ours. It was located about 3 miles from any store and our friend offered to help as much as he could in keeping   Steve sober. I started working a second job and after a few months of moving into this new place everything started going really well for us! Steve was   sober and money was coming in, he and I were happy again. I had gotten my son into special education pre-school, he was doing great!     During the time we lived with my parents I

The drunken fights between him and I caused problems between me and my parents. Forgive me - this part of my story is very hard for me to tell. ...     I love my mother more than life itself, she is a very strong woman who has her own long story of battles. Through all of her battles she always kept me and   my sisters safe and together, no matter what came her way. That being said please understand how hard it is for me to stress my feelings at the time all   this stuff happened.

For a while I slept in my son's room on the floor at night while druing the day I worked on trying to repair my marriage. We talked to a pastor from our   church, Steve worked on his drinking problems, began going to rehab. Things really started looking better. He still hadnt settled everything with the   courts, the events happened so close together but in different towns so they were fighting over which town to actually have the case in. Meanwhile Steve   returned home from court one

Sorry about the delay, I had some things come up and was unable to make it back to the computer yesterday.     So I had my first son, everything went well for the first 2 years or so. My husband and I began to get more and more involved in the church, He played drums   on the band or worship team every other service and I was involved in the nursery watching after the young children. In 2003 little by little my husband   kept saying how he wanted to branch out and play with bands beside

I have got to get this off my chest - part 1

Last night I wrote a whole long blog and as I went to post it there was an error and it was lost! Today I have a completely different train of thought so I   am going to go with that.     I am feeling lead to share about my previous marriage, I have had a few people email me about my story and tell me some of theirs and I really feel that my   story may help others get motivated to change the things they need to change in their own life. This story will be in many parts, if I were to s

Swing batter batter! SWING!

We made it to the circus last night and I am happy to announce, no one stepped in elephant poop! (Thank the good Lord above for that) The kids had such a   great time, it was a really good show! I haven't been to the circus in many years, it was great to see the reaction on my children's faces when they saw the   many wonders of the circus world! Its moments like these that we live for.     Speaking of moments like these, today was the first of many baseball games for my kids! My oldest s

We are off to the circus! I hope we don't step in elephant poop mommy!

This is going to be a GREAT day! My daughter, Makenna had a hard time getting to sleep last night so I was up until about 12:30 because of her. Then my husband who has been also trying to get his weight under control woke me up around 4 this morning while he gets ready to go for a bike ride... My response to that was "could you take some of this new found energy you have and fix the toilet seat?!" I am not a helpless woman, I do a lot of the fixing up around here myself, but for the LIFE of me I

Today, the very beginning to the rest of my life!

Today I shall begin to document my progress. Today I am going to give you all some information about myself and vow to stop by at least every Thurs from here on out and give an update. To start with allow me to introduce myself! My name is Reena, I am from upstate New York, I live and love the country! I am currently 32 years old and the mother of 4 beautiful children. My oldest child is 12 years old, he is 5'11" 180# and autistic. My pride meter went through the roof this year for this child,
