Wow, it has been a while since I wrote. Things have been busy here with work. The kids always get a little nuts towards the end of the school year.. After today, I really wonder if there is a full moon!!! ha

Vince and I went to Washington DC this past weekend to visit his cousin. We took Amtrak and there was a freight derailment, so we had to rent a car to drive home! I was so pissed off! But, we had a great weekend. We got to sightsee, go to some museums, and went to see the Pirates play the Nationals. The Pirates lost of course.. They suck! lol I got some great pictures! I will post when I get a minute to upload them all.

Weight loss stinks here. I have lost maybe 2 pounds in the last 6 weeks. I am getting frustrated, but I guess it is pay for the course. We all know plateaus are part of the game, but it doesn't make dealing with it any easier. I have not had much of an appetite lately. I am wondering if that is why I am not losing because I am not getting enough protein. I have to try harder to get it in, but nothing is tasting good. Any suggestions?!

Little Sis...Yep I am there with you on the weightloss. I have also hit a wall. With the move/stress it has been very VERY difficult for me to stay on track and excerise....YIKES I miss my trainer. Gonna find a new gym and trainer soon to get my butt back in gear.
Hang in there we are in this together. I so want to lose the 32 to get under 200 lbs! I know we will beat this fat thing! LOL

Default Well, I have pneumonia

I have been feeling pretty crappy for a few weeks now. Just thought it was seasonal allergies. Well, today I work up and I could hardly move. I went to the dr. and they "heard" something in my chest. I had a chest xray, and sure enough.... I have pneumonia. It is in my left lung. So, now I am on all kinds of meds and off work all week. I have to go back next Monday for another chest xray to see what is going on. Always something! LOL

Default Breaking all pouch rules!

For the whole day and a half I have been home with pneumonia all I have done is eat! I do not get it. I am so damn hungry. For the most part, I have eaten healthy foods, but it is non-stop. So, a little bit ago, I weighed myself thinking I have gained on my eating binge.. Well, I have lost 2 pounds! WTF! I do not get it! I do know I have to stop all this eating!
