I'm a Computer Consultant. Several years ago, I fell in love with a Dutch guy and moved to Holland.

I broke up with the guy but I stayed on as I can pretty much do my exact same job here in this country! :)

Okay, this is only my second day, but I'm loving this. *smile* Anyway, I'm the full time music director for my church. Roman Catholic all the way dude!!! I also teach private music lessons for piano, voice, guitar, and many many more things. I also play professionally for weddings and parties, and compose and arrange music. If there is someone out there with any similarities, I would love to hear from you.

I am a Doctor of Naturopathy/Naturology with an interest in ethnobotany. Essentially...natural medicine. Several years ago I started on a journey to reverse my Multiple Sclerosis...I was not able to do much by then. Constant visits to the ER and unable to move most of my right side and severe cramping of my muscles. When the MD said I needed to start looking for a wheelchair, I rebeled!! I changed many things in my life...MInd, Body and Spirit and went back to school for my Doctorate. This summer I was able to go to the Amazon and to climb Macchu Picchu, not just do the more level part of it. Now I will work on losing weight with the help of the band.

I do not use any pharmaceuticals at all. This surgery will be an exception to my ideals because I see the band as a useful tool, and much safer than a bypass. If anyone ever has questions on how to live a better life through holistic ways...please do ask me! :D

I'm employed with one of the greatest shows on earth "I'm a ringmaster for ringling bros. and barnum and bailey circus!

Yeah, I wouldn't believe me either and no it's not true .. but dang it sounded pretty cool so I thought I'd try it. In reality I own and run a day care center which some do view as the circus and I'm the bag of nuts so maybe I am really a ringmaster of some sort, lol. I received my masters of Ed but had no desire to leave my children with someone else so I decided to become the "someone else" for others I'm also a medic with a private company but have recently cut my hours down and will slowly work out of that job. I've discovered theres only so many hours of a day and I always come up short. OK, *insert psycho smiley here* and that should pretty much sum up "me"

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
