Today I start training toward my white belt in mixed martial arts. Not sure if I'm going to go for the female standards (25 girl push ups in 2 minutes, 25 sit ups in 2 minutes, 1 mile run in 8 minutes) or the male standards (50 regular push ups in 2 minutes, 50 sit ups in 2 minutes, 2 miles in 16 minutes). Upper body strength is the problem for me, so the push ups are the hardest part. I found out a few days ago that I can pretty much pass the yellow belt requirements without a problem, b...

Feeling happy and content. Off to sing some karaoke with friends.

Gallbladder FINALLY removed yesterday! This time it all went smooth as silk. I'm already relieved of the constant pain I've been having for months on end!!!! YAY!!!

My status as of now is this: I am scheduled to have my gallbladder out on January 25, 2013. My surgeon says that my risk of having similar problems again is nil. :::deep sigh::: I trust him, but I'm still scared. Between the follow-up appointments to make sure my heart is okay, work, and daily stress, I'm taking a break from a lot of things right now.

Breast biopsy is NEGATIVE for cancer!! Thank you for your prayers!!

Biopsy done, results are due Tuesday. I'm praying for and expecting benign.

Breast biopsy scheduled for 2pm today. I'm a bit nervous.

Still having issues with possible gall bladder problems. Still super busy with the new business. Still losing weight!!

Shoot! I thought I'd updated here. Results of the CT Scan are the I may possibly have kidney stones instead of gallbladder issues. Everything is on hold until I have another GB attack. No surgery for now! Praise the Lord!!

CT results are NO PE and NO DVT! Yay...They did find some kidney stones, which explains the pain.

Cat Scan done tonight. Doctor suspects another pulmonary embolism or DVT. Gallbladder surgery has been tentatively moved UP to Tuesday from Friday. Waiting on CT result at home now.

Saw my doctor today about my dumping episode last week. Turns out it was a gallbladder attack.Surgery is 9/28/12 to remove it.

I'm looking for someone in pensacola for a one-time job opportunity. It's a mystery shop, but it's pretty lucrative. Anyone interested?

I'm in a new decade! Say Goodbye to the 240's and hello to the 230's!! I'm getting closer to my goal.....

My house was hit by a tornado today. I wasn't home. I'm safe, and I luckily didn't get a lot of damage. I also have awesome neighbors!!!!

Just checking in from Ringgold?, GA. I've been at my family reunion for a few days, but thought I should say hello to everyone. I'll be home tomorrow and should be back in action the next day!

After I posted my update this morning, I moved some furniture around, emptied my storage unit, and did some housework. Boring, right? Yes, it is, but it's exciting too. I have MY LIFE back! The sleeve has done that for me! If I don't lose another pound after today, I got what I wanted. I can DO anything I want or need to do without pain and without being exhausted from merely walking! Thank you, God, and Dr Domkowski!

How bizarre is this? I've slacked on exercise this week and my weight loss has increased! Not sure if the stall is broken or if slacking on exercise (some) has made this happen! I see my goal in sight..less than 60 pounds to go!

I need to shout out a big thank you to Alex and VST! I'm thrilled that I won the iPod Touch, especially as I was looking to buy one soon!! Thanks again!!!

9 months out today. More than 100 pounds down. I am still in shock and can't believe how fast the time flies...or how fast the weight and sizes go away!! I'm a happy, healthy gal tonight!

I'm claiming it! I have lost 100 pounds!! YAY! Go Me!!!

Workout One for today is in the bag! Kicked butt on the weights and didn't sneeze once! Take that you nasty little cold!!!

Second workout of the day finished! I didn't make 30 minutes, only did 10, but that's pretty good for someone who has a major cold right now! Weights tomorrow morning, more cardio tomorrow night.

Workout One done for the day, 30 minutes of cardio on the bike. Workout Two is scheduled for 9pm, another 30 minutes of cardio on the bike. In between, housework, clean out the car, and a little bit of money-making work. Can't ask for much better than that unless I was sitting at the pool with a cabana boy fanning me!

Workout ONE done today. Hit the gym for weight training. Workout TWO will be pure cardio! Go Me!!
