Hello again my Dear Purple Team!! Wow... it has taken me a bit to get back into the swing of things here on my computer since getting back to Minnesota! I came home to 658 emails.... tons of pictures to go through, and some are still getting processed, so anxious to see those as well when they come back. Guess I should have had a digital camera with me! Oh well.. next time! When I got back, the dryer wasn't working, the built-in microwave doesn't work, and the propane tank is bone dry! This morning it was 59 degrees in the house! Yikes... so this week I've been on the phone, getting everything put back together. So far, we have heat again now that the tank is filled, the dryer is working again (just a loose wire on the heating element... an easy, cheap fix... ha, haven't gotten the bill yet though!) the microwave is another story, needs parts, expensive, but still less than a new microwave, so it's gunna get fixed, parts are to be in on Tuesday next week.
I am back to my nutrition classes, and support group now as well. Feels good to be back to that too. Dietition says I am doing good, still on program and feeling great. I have had some problems with being light-headed... a bit dizzy at times, but maybe that is just all due to being "blonde"? When I get those "spells" of being dizzy, I just eat a little bit of fruit, and that helps somewhat. I am to see my regular doctor though as soon as I can, and try to get to the bottom of that issue. But all in all... I am feeling fabulous! I still HAVE NOT eaten anything I am not suppose to! No caffeine, No carbination, No sugar!!!! So... no pop, candy, chips, etc!!! Easter was NO problem at all. We were even at a big pot-luck! I had my 2 ounces of turkey, and 1/2 cup of mango! I ended up with about 1/4 cup of the mango though, as Benjamin kept coming in a swiping it! He just loves Mango! Hmmm... so sweet and juicy! But anyway... no desserts... and this year.. no Cadbury Eggs either! The best part... I don't even miss them! At this point, there is NOTHING that can ever taste as good as I feel right now! I am exercising. Doing some toning, strengthening, etc. Just feels SO good to be healthy again!
Well my Dear Friends and Family.... thank you for sticking by me here! Your love and support means EVERYTHING to me!!!
Oh... I just HAVE to share a moment here with you!!! Last night, we were getting ready to go to our bible study, I went to put on my nice shoes and took a step and my shoe literally flew off of my foot! I yelled, and everyone came running wondering what had happened to me! MY SHOE FLEW OFF!!! What happened???? It was SO big! I tried on 3 more pairs of shoes and the same thing.. they are TOO BIG!!!! So, I HAD to go to Walmart today and I bought another pair! I have gone down 1 1/2 sizes in shoes now! Clothes I am now down 6 sizes!!! Oh yeah!!!!
Ok.... all for now... take care ya'll. Love ya! Eydie =)
