Happy Memorial Day

My first Memorial day after having lap-band surgery and a befitting day for memories.

I lost my father on this day 15 years ago from Congestive Heart Failure. He struggled with multiple strokes and many more lung disorders some caused by smoking and others genetic. I miss him dearly and hope by having this surgery I will give the gift of "time" to my children and their children some day.

I'm heading back to work tomorrow and trying out some of my newly acquired eating habits, 1200 calories daily with 80grams of protein. I will also start walking over my lunch hour for 1/2 hour in hopes of breaking old habits and starting healthy ones.

Happy Memorial Day to you and your loved ones here and for those that have passed.

A new summer begins....
