WOW! HOW TIME FLYS!!!!!

HERE WE ARE OVER HALF WAY DONE WITH THE WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE AND I'VE BEEN OFFLINE B/C OF HEALTH PROBLEMS!

BUT.....I CAN SAY THAT..... I HAVE LOST FOUR POUNDS SO FAR!!!

SO...THAT'S A GOOD THING I GUESS (IN SPITE OF WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH)!

I GO TOMORROW FOR MORE TESTING OF MY HEART AND VASCULAR! (SP?)

AND...I JUST DID SOME TESTING RIGHT HERE AT HOME WITH MY CONCERNING MY NITETIME BREATHING! LET ME TELL YOU...IT WAS HORRIBLE TRYING TO SLEEP WITH THOSE TWO MACHINES HOOKED UP TO ME! FIRST...THEY WANTED ME TO SLEEP ON MY BACK WITH NO PILLOW!! NEXT...THEY WANTED ME TO STAY HOOKED UP TO THE HEART MONITURING MACHINE BUT TAKE THE O2 CENSOR OFF WHEN I HAD TO GO POTTY! THAT WAS SUCH FUN!!! NOT!!!!! AND THE LADY TOLD ME THAT IF THE O2 STARTED BEEPING...I COULD MUTE IT OK!!! HAAAAA! WHAT A LAUGH THAT WAS!! EVERY TIME MY O2 DIPPED BELOW 94....IT WOULD START BEEPING AGAIN! I SPENT A VERY RESTLESS NIGHT!! AND...MOST OOF IT WAS WAKING UPP TRYING TO PRESS THE MUTE BUTTON W/O HAVING TO WAKE FULLY UP! SO...I WON'T GET THE RESULTS FOR A WHILE!

LOL! SHE JUST CAME TO PICK UP THE MACHINES AS I WAS TYPING TO YOU! ISN'T THAT FUNNY!!?? ANYWAY...TOMORROW I GO FOR NUCLEAR TESTING AND A SRESS TEST TOO! HAAAAAAAAAA! PICTURE THAT!!! ME TRYING TO WALK FAST ON A TREAD MILL!! GOT NEWS FOR THEM!! MY BREATHING WILL GIVE OUT....LONG BEFORE MY HEART DOES!! SO...AS OF TODAY NOON...I CAN'T HAVE ANY CAFFIENE!! NOT EVEN DECAF ( ONLY JUICE, WATER OR MILK)!  NOT AGAIN UNTIL AFTER...... THE TESTING TOMMOROW @ NOON! AND....I CAN'T EAT AFTER BEDTIME TONIGHT UNTIL AFTER .......THE TESTING @ NOON TOMORROW!!!  ONLY WATER!!!! NOTHING ELSE!!!!

SO...HERE I AM TRYING TO QUIT SMOKING AND LOSE WEIGHT AT THE SAME TIME!! AND...ALL WITH WHATEVER IS GOING ON WITH MY HEALTH AND ALL.....AT THE SAME TIME! ALL I CAN DO IS PRAY EVEERY DAY FOR STRENGTH FROM GOD AND JESUS TO HELP ME THROUGH EACH AND EVERY SINGLE DAY!! NOW, I KNOW I HAVEN'T BEEN ONLINE LIKE I WAS HOPING TOO!! BUT..... THINGS HAPPEN THAT WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER!! I CAN'T FEEL GUILT BECAUSE OF IT! SO...I HOPE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND AND FORGIVE ME FOR NOT BEING HERE AS I HAD PLANNED TO!!! I WILL SIGN BACK ON AS I FIND THE TIME! PROMISE!!!!! UNTIL THEN....TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS! BTW...FOR THOSE STILL DOING THE WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE......GOOD LUCK TO EACH OF YOU! I WILL BE POSTING OUR FINAL RESULTS..... EVEN IF IT'S FROM A HOSPITAL BED!!!! RAIN, SLEET OR SHINE....I'LL BE RIGHT HERE.... TO GIVE THE FINAL NUMBER'S!!!!!! LOL! C-YA!!! BOOMERTOO
