It has been a while

Hello,

Well I just realize that it has been so long since I posted. UHH, nothing really has happened. I am still at 350. I am looking for a receipe for cranberry juice. I have 3 packs of cranberries, but I need to know how to boil them to make juice. Stevie and Jenny are fine.

My mom had surgery on her right hand yesterday. It is to correct what they call a trigger finger. She had her left had done back in Jan. Stevie babysat Jenny, Isaac, Aaron and Jessie, because Teresa and Scott had to work. He seemed to do well and they kids gave him good reviews. This is the first time he has babysat so I guess he done pretty good.

Talk more later

New weight

Hello,

Well last night I weighed 350, agghh, almost made it to 349, but then again the week is not over with yet ):):):):)::::

New Inspiration

Hello,

My sister inlaw Kathy has been helping Stevie and I with cleaning for the last couple of weeks and tonight she and I cleaned alone because Stevie had a special floor project he had to complete and this allowed her and I to have a honest discussion about weight, she said she would be my cheerlearder to help me this time around. I had Dawn and (she was WONDERFUL), but then I quit Kroll and I have not had that support. This is really encouraging.

Also a fellow Blogger also talks about how she calculates her BMI to see when she is severly obese, then Obese and then overweight etc. I thought this was an excellent idea.

Right now I am extremely Obese.

195 is when I will be very Obese.

170 is when I will be Obese

145 is when I will be overweight

120 is when I will be "normal"

IT'S BEEN A WHILE

AGGGHHHH, it has been too long

First a weight update. I am now 353, it would be nice to get in the 40s this week. The progress is slow, but still progress

Nothing much has changed. Jenny has a speech/cognitive evaluation tomorrow. She is still not walking, but we are getting closer. She now climbs on everything!!! It is awesome to see her develop into a little person. She is the most perfect thing in my life. If I had to retrace all life steps, no matter how bad to still get Jenny I would do it without even thinking. She is worth every tear cried, every hurt emotion, every moment of physical pain I have ever had, she is absolutely priceless. That is why I have to fix myself to make certain I can take care of her.

Nothing else matters, not even Stevie. He still acts a 15 year old. When we first met that was a cute quality, he was very child like and I could basically play house, he was my child. But now I have a child and I am not going to raise him anymore. His teenage behavior is now ridculous for someone his age and he will have to grow up some day.

Isaac got his big cast off. He now has a short one. It is below his knee. He has to wear it for another 6 weeks. But he should be well soon.

I will make an effort to write more often.
Bye for now!!!
