WOW!! 2009 was one roller coaster of a year..the ups of extreme weight loss and the downs of testing and Richards ultimate surgery. There were people who suffered far worse and those that slid through 09 with nary a problem. We consider ourselves lucky, we are here to celebrate yet another year on this planet. The only resolution I have made is continued self improvement..
There comes a time in every ones life (usually when we are "OLD") that we realize the only person we can truly change is ourselves. There is a great deal about me that I do not like. For one I have become totally disorganized. Considering I maintained businesses and managed a multi million dollar company, that is a sorry state of affairs. So I intend on getting my management skills back into place so life is less stressful. I also need to purge my closet of clothes. I have no intention of going backward so why am I saving my "favorite comfy clothes"?There are people who need them far more then I, so one of my first 2010 missions is to donate my closet to charity. I've had a few of my favorite things altered, however they can only be altered so much.
I do not truly think people can do "too much" for others. I do feel I fit a lot of charity into my life, but I hope to do more in 2010, I realize it makes me very Happy to see others happy.
Then there is the business...we have been brain storming a lot of idea's and now it is time to put them into action so January will be spent making samples and hopefully by February we will have something going. That's the plan anyway.
So 2010 shows signs of a running start and I pray my energy level continues . I do fall into slumps and I do seem to get tired quickly, that probably has something to do with iron or some other mineral or vitamin. I'm still on mega doses of "D", 50,000 units.
I know there are several people who check on this blog almost daily (I know from the e-mail LOL) I thank you for making my life part of yours and even if you only check in every now and then to see whats happening...thank you for making me feel important.
I wish all of you a Very Happy and healthy New Year filled with Happiness and wonder.....

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
I'm late for one and early for the other LOL
It has been absolutely crazy around here but in a good way. I've managed to continue to lose weight over this "eating" holiday, even though I baked and fed people along the way.
I've heard people use this holiday as an excuse and can't quite figure it out. Don't we eat every day? Don't we go out for dinners and socialize all year long? So what makes "Holiday" so different ? Not a darn thing people...it's just an excuse to let your guard down and not feel guilty about it.
I had a long talk with myself prior to the holiday. I reminded myself how hard I worked to get where I am today..Yes all you people who think surgery is the easy way out...Think again. It was work and it still is work and will be work for the rest of my life. I'm addicted to food. A drug addict can stay away from his/her addiction, so can an alcoholic. I can't, so I have to be mindful 24/7 to retrain myself and stay away from old habits. It ain't easy....However it is so worth it.
To look back on this past year and see the differences is totally amazing. I remember all too well the excruciating pain I was in on a daily basis , not being able to walk or stand for any length of time, using a cane for support, all those pills and shots to maintain my diabetes, acid reflux, High BP, God I could go on and on by the point is, it's all gone...along with the FAT. Why would I ever want to go back there? There isn't a masochistic bone in my body, I assure you.
Yes I was very, very busy. Busy works for me, it keeps my mind off food and my head out of the refrigerator. If my hands are busy , my mouth isn't. Did I take on too much this year? Probably...Will all this change in me, change that fact in the coming year? Probably not.
All crafty, quilting people seem to suffer from the same illness LOL We all try and turn over a new leaf in Jan. and vow to be better prepared for the holidays next year. It doesn't happen... I still sent out gifts late, but they were made with love and "friends" know that.
Who knows, maybe next year I will be ahead of things and not working like a maniac up until the last minute. Considering I am now involved in a business that will probably get even busier toward next Christmas, I'm not holding out much hope for change LOL
I am however, hoping that everyone reading this has a healthy, happy and Blessed New Year!!

Food Talk
Of course with the holidays upon us, people who struggle with WL are thinking about how they will manage through the holidays. I've heard a lot of talk about this subject and perhaps my mind is just too darned simplistic. What makes this season any different from any other?
We are social animals who seem to center everything we do around food, when in fact it is the company we should be enjoying.
Planning for the holidays is like planning for any other meal. There are so many low calorie foods out there, so much that taste good..I don't really see a problem. Yes there will be more cookies and sweets then usual. Do you really think you got fat on one cookie?
One cookie taste the same as the 10th so why not just nibble at one cookie and savor the flavor.
WL is not about suffering for the foods we love. Enjoy the holiday, plan ahead, keep in mind NOTHING is fattening when eaten properly.
I plan of stuffing my guest with Ham, lots of veggies and a SF/FF dessert. Cheese and crackers is fine add a sliced olive a piece on pimento and it even looks like a holiday treat. Eat ONE it won't hurt you. Take a thin piece of cake or pie, you won't die and you won't be heavier in the morning.
Being mindful of everything you eat is the key... You know if you are going back for the 4th cookie, you are in trouble. Think about how hard you have worked to take off what ever weight you have lost... Perhaps that cookie won't look so inviting.
Plan everything that comes into the house...make low cal food look inviting and festive and everyone will enjoy. The food is only part of the celebration...being together with good friends and loving family is wha tit is all about...Fill your heart with love and your stomach only with what it needs.
Now I am off to bake these fabulous pinwheel cookies. Holiday baking is part of the real world for me, it is something I have to learn to deal with. I already know how these cookies taste, so I don't need to sample. I'm proud of how far I've come so I don't plan to undermine my success with cookies. Will I eat them...?You can bet I'll have one ...Probably on Christmas day...if I weaken, I'll let you know.

Christmas Marathon
Holy Cow!!! This year I was way ahead of previous years and all was going well, so I figured "Gee, why not add more to my plate, cause after all, I'm so far ahead" LOL
I got some names off www.anysoldier.com and began making boxes up. That was so easy , I went back and got more names. they really don't ask for much...snack, puzzles, games, hygiene products.
Then we have the business, not that we are doing much before the holidays..But we still meet at the house and discuss plans for the future. There are things to set up and lots to make.
Speaking of making. I will post one of my projects AFTER Christmas, once I give it to the person. What the HELL was I thinking? There is a funny part to the story, but you'll have to wait.
Now I have some boxes that need to go out and some of you know me and the Post Office, it's like a wooden spike to a vampire..I hate that place almost as much as I hate food stores. Two places you will rarely find me in willingly.
I have totally enjoyed the preparation for this Holiday, 8 ball or not, it's good to feel GOOD. Things that were a big chore when I was heavy, are no longer an effort. I enjoyed cutting out my pillow cases (gifts I made this year) and sewing love into every stitch. I've made a few lap quilts and finished up another QOV..all with a big ole' smile on my face. Just the fact that I could do it without pain.
A year out of surgery has been like a rebirth. I wish I could give this feeling to everyone as a Christmas Gift... There are a few so called "friends" who were a terrible disappointment this year. People who have been in my life a VERY long time, that for some reason, just can't be happy for me. At first it hurt and now it's okay...Their ugliness is their burden, not mine.
I look forward to this Christmas, it will be spent with friends and family. I've been able to meet the challenge of shopping, wrapping, making, baking, working and fitting in some of Richards chores as well. How lucky can you get...I am truly blessed.

A Wonderful Party
This is a very busy time of year for all. I seem to be a bit more organized this year then in past years...or maybe not. maybe it just seems that way because I'm feeling so positive about life in general.
We had a wonderful Christmas Party after our last WLS Meeting. The meeting itself was lots of fun. I was given a beautiful Plant as a Thank you for the Butterfly Project, I thought that's was very thoughtful of the team. We did not have the usual lesson so that time could be found for an adorable song the team gave us all as a Gift. It was sung to "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" and it was hysterical. I nice start to a perfect evening.
Our party was in the "Party Room " at the Neptune. Our very own Party Planner, Kittie, went above and beyond and took a plain ordinary meeting room and turned it into a winter wonderland. A beautiful white tree all decorated with Butterflies was a show piece..each of us got a bag with our name on it and we were told to take home an ornament for our own tree. Santa came and gave gifts to every person there (by name yet) and then we played trivia for more prizes, followed by name that tune for even more prizes. Jules graced us with music and song and Lisa made absolutely gorgeous center pieces for the table...She gifted me with one at the end of the evening so I felt very special. It has been a while since I have enjoyed myself like that at a party...It was a nice break from gift making.
We got our first real snow fall yesterday so I am looking out the window at a winter wonderland..Gosh I love the seasons...
Today Rich and I will wrap AGAIN!!! And try to get some organization going around here. I will head on down to the "other house" to finish up some more gifts. I promised myself I would not be sewing on Christmas eve and I intend to keep that promise.
I have gifts to mail that must go out soon...Busy, busy busy...So much prep and then it's all over for another year...I LOVE Christmas, just the over all joy that the season seems to bring to every ones heart..I wish it could last all year.
If you are reading this and you feel the love of giving inside you, please visit Anysoldier.com,
read some of the stories and see what our fighting men are asking for...it isn't much and the average person can afford to "adopt" a soldier for Christmas. Once you pick someone, you will get an actual address for that soldier...your gift goes to him /her, it is not a scam like some...so give it a look and really fill your heart with joy through an act of "GIVING"...
Off to fill up some boxes for some very special soldiers....

Happy Thanksgiving
Okay so I'm a day early....All the wild turkeys were standing on the ridge this morning holding signs saying; EAT BEEF...sorry guys, but there is a very fresh bird sitting in my refrig waiting to be stuffed :-)
We are delighted this year that at least part of the family will be here to celebrate with us. We do enjoy being up on this mountain, but during the holidays it is always hard, looking back on the business of the holiday, with a crowded table and so much laughter. I miss those day, but realize that life is full of change and acceptance is the key to happiness.
I have so very much to be thankful for this year...way at the top of the list is that Rich survived his surgery and continues to improve everyday...I have survived a year of change (for the better) much thinner then last year , much healthier and certainly much happier. My children are all happy in their lives and I am surrounded by people who truly care and show it in everything they do and say. I have to be one of the luckiest people on this planet and I never stop thanking God for holding me so close to his heart and allowing so much joy to fill my life.
I am thinking about the soldiers today...young men and women so far from home, so far from the loved ones who will celebrate this holiday missing them and praying for their safe return.
Please don't forget them in your prayers...There are so many people less fortunate, I wish I could feed them all, dress them all in warm clothes....What I can do is make a difference to some...You can as well..Most churches take coats and clothes for the needy, a lot of banks have barrels out for toys at Christmas and most of all check out anysoldier,com and make life a little nicer for our forces that won't be home this holiday season....
Happy Thanksgiving to all who have made my life a brighter place...and even to those who have brought darkness...fore if not for troubled times, how would I know what happiness feels like?

WOW!! Has it really been that long?
Sheesh....Thank you to those that have written to me via e-mail, wanting to know if everything is okay because it has been so long since I've Blogged.
There is no excuse, just life happening at a warp speed pace.
Rich continues to improve from his open heart surgery...he is doing really well, still in rehab, but his color is wonderful and everyday he can do a bit more then he did yesterday.
I have had a few issues but nothing worth complaining about...I guess I could, But I am so happy to be smaller and have so much more energy...that any little bump in the road is easy to navigate.
I've also gone into business with a friend of mine so I don't spend too much time in the house or at my computer. We spent all last week making curtains for our shop and talking the whole time about what we'd like to see happen. needless to say we are very excited...We are both hard workers and what she doesn't like to do I do and vice versa so it works well. It's a very exciting time...Of course it is also the worse time to start a business...(A) So close to Holidays so we have a great deal of outside stress and (B) the economy is not the best for embarking on a new adventure...but we tarry on with hopes for the future and staying extremely busy in the mean time...Too busy to think about failure for sure.
Have have dabbled in a lot of businesses over the years and ALL have been successful... All of them ran in the black within the first 6 mouths , which according to my accountant, is almost unheard of. This one, I'm afraid, may take a bit longer, simply because of what it is and because neither of us has a huge bankroll to fund it...so it will need to grow slow and fund itself...That's how I worked the chocolate business and for those of you who know me, know it grew far beyond my expectations. But enough about my excitement...
I know a lot of people follow this Blog who are thinking about Bariatric surgery for themselves.
I promised to be honest wit h you from the very beginning so at the risk of up setting some people...I have to tell you: If you are thinking about the Band, please give it a great deal of thought...It is a relatively new device and it seems to have it's share of problems...I am fearful that 10 years from now, they will either have to re evaluate the concept of the Band or change the design etc. It does work for some and when it does the results are wonderful...However, it is something you must work very hard to maintain or the weight seems to creep back in a very short period of time. Not to say you can't re lose it...but heck, you an do that with WW without surgery. I am also seeing a lot of interest in revisions (having the Band reversed to RNY)..
Which means yet another surgery to fight obesity...doesn't make much sense does it?
A very Dear friend is struggling with some very severe issues with the Band and just found out that her insurance will not cover another surgery. So what now? Does she remove it and risk gaining weight? Does she suffer with it to maintain her weight or does she pay for the surgery out of packet to at least get some relief...? Please think LONG and Hard about Banding...it isn't for everyone and if it's not for you, it can be a disaster.
Okay I also have to throw in that a bad RNY can be a disaster as well but I had mine over a year ago and there have been hundreds preformed at my hospital and there have been no REAL problems. We all seem to lose weight rapidly, we all seem very delighted with the weight loss and hell bent on keeping it off...Only time will tell. Right now I am fighting with a Vitamin D deficiency , I am taking 50,000 units of D every other day. I know it seems like a lot and those of you in the
know" know that D can be toxic. Understand that I am being closely watched and if this is the only small price I have to pay for feeling as good as I do...so be it.
I am also having some small issue with certain foods lately. Perhaps I've gotten lazy and I'm not chewing as well or the piece is too big...We are also working on that.
The bottom line is, I would do it again in a heartbeat...I'm not as small as I was in my twenty's, but I am heading in that direction and I'm delighted with each pound gone and each size smaller.
I have had a great deal of support along the way and to those of you who have kept in touch with your words of encouragement...I thank you....
