  2. 4 year Bandiversary

    Well... My life has been CRAZY ever since we moved to Utah. I thought moving "home" would be a good thing... boy was I wrong. Our finances took a nose dive along with my health. And my family isn't NEAR as supportive as I thought they would be...
     
    With all that I want to say that my weight loss is at a stand still but I'm ready to get my butt back into gear and do this right. I am by no ones standards a good bandster. As a matter of fact I am a VERY BAD BANDSTER. I let life get in the way of making good choices (or even ok choices) and my health takes a back seat to EVERYTHING else.
     
    When we moved to Utah our house in KC never sold... so now we have a foreclosure on our credit. We also had some very hard financial things going on and so our credit is SHOT. During this we TRIED to get approval to foster/adopt some more children so our daughter could have siblings that she so desired... This process was a GRUELING year of stress and heartbreak. So much so that I gave up and decided that we'd stay a home with one child.
     
    Fast forward to one year later: we decide to try again... and YAY!! we were approved to do foster care and within 2 weeks of that approval they placed 6 month old boy twins in our home. The boys are now 14 months old and the adoption will be final on June 30th. One of our boys has some pretty severe delays and so we have TONS of Dr's appts. This has also proven to be a VERY stressful time... Imagine that. With the finalization on the horizon things can only get better and we are DONE with foster care since our home is full.
     
    Also... Our daughter (who turned 4 in November) had surgery on her feet at the beginning of 2009 (right leg in January, left leg in February) and has been in casts since them. She FINALLY got both casts off a few weeks ago. Life has improved SO MUCH since she can walk and move again.
     
    So am I shocked that I haven't lost any weight?? NO... Am I shocked that I gained 30lbs?? NO... Am I amazed that it was ONLY 30lbs??? YES... and I thank my Band for that EVERY day.
     
    I will set this page as my home page so starting tomorrow I am FORCED to get back on track. It is my 4 year anniversary and I WILL WIN THIS BATTLE...
