It’s been a long time, getting from there to here  (yes a star trek reference)….

I’ve been lax in so many things but TODAY is a new day.

Yesterday we went to see Sloane, the nutritionalist for Dr. Von Rueden.  Brian bless his heart lost another 11 pounds.  he’s lost 19 total.  I’m really proud of him.  I stayed the same. Everyone but me seems to think this is a good thing. I think it sucks.  I know i’ve been good.  NOT pefect but much better.  All I needed was half a pound… HALF a POUND…. and oops I got NUTHIN’ oh well.

Folks suggested that maybe I wanted to get a new doctor. That didn’t seem right and I thought more about it.   Some doctors do not require you to lose weight or anything other than what your insurance requires.  Since our insurance requires nothing, I’d probably already be done if I had gone to another doctor…. but this having to lose weight to have surgery is a good thing.  It really is.  In the long run,  it really does teach me something.  I mean i know how to lose weight, i have to learn to do it all the time full time for ever and ever AMEN…

Not happy but compliant.  what else can I do.   So today I’m back on track food wise AND I reactivated my gym membership and my gym bag is packed and I”m headed to the pool after work.
