One Step At A Time

Babies ImagesIts almost the holiday weekend!!!!!!!!! YIPPEE!!!! That means 3 full days with my hubby.  Life just doesn’t get any better then that.

It’s been good reading blogs again.  I’ve missed a few, but I’ll get back to comment.

Today is an important day for my future.  When in the hospital I mentioned Disability and every single Doc and Nurse, even the social worker said I met all the criteria.  Also my psychiatrist said he would back me 100%  So its in the Lords hands for now, but I’d love your prayers. My appointment is at 1:00 this afternoon and my husband will take a 1/2 a day off work to take me :)  We’ll go on our last “fresh corn” (just picked today) drive and it will probably be the last of the season.  I might be too late already, hope not as we love the fresh corn:)

Not sure whats going on with the scale, but I’m losing and loving it.  I’m just afraid I’m losing a bit to fast to be healthy.  I can’t feel it in my clothes, but the scale seems to be accurate.  I went down 2 more pounds since yesterday.  Granted I’m not eating like I used to.  Guess it just goes to show little baby steps will get you to your final goals!!

Hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!! Keep moving and NEVER EVER give up.  If its in your heart to lose the weight, you’ll find that place inside and the motivation and determination will follow.  I promise you this :)

    OH! I forgot to ask you, is the baby in the pail saying Jane, I love you? I think she is. Hey! I know why don’t you start a poll and ask everyone else what they think the baby is saying?, lol! Seriously! could be fun!!! Love, Linda

    Conrats on the weight loss! It is in my heart to lose this weight and understand the why behind it so that I dont regain the weight again.

    I worked for a disability attorney for a while. That was the most frustrating job I ever had because even though these people were clearly disabled the governement seems to turn everyone down. I think the strategy is to just make them give up. The key is to keep trying. Hire an attorney if you have to. They don’t get paid unless you win. I hope it doesn’t have to come to that, just want to give you the heads up!

    You rock. I just love you so much. I will sure be praying. I have an important appt today, too.
    Congrats on your loss.
    Hope you get some corn! Big hugs, Kama

    BEst of luck on your appt today! Glad to hear you are taking care of yourself and disability is that! check in with your doc about your weight loss, but little steps really can make a huge difference and usually 1-3 pounds a week is totally healthy and actually a preferred way to do it where it stays off. hugs to you!!!

    Congrats on the 2 lbs. loss!!! I wouldn’t worry about it coming off too fast right now, could be your body is still readjusting. Sending prayer your way for the disability.

    The fresh corn trip truly sounds heavenly. Have an AWESOME weekend with your hubby! :o)

    I am happy for you Jane. Keep working on your health and use any resources you need including disability to take care of finances. Disability money is designed for people who can’t maintain a full time job and provide for themselves. You main job now is to get healthy.

    *prayers for Jane*…and *hugs*… always hugs.

    I think you do not have to worry about the weight loss being too quick. Perhaps your body knows what is best and you are just helping it alone. ;) Just relax and let your body heal itself. Enjoy the corn, your loved ones and your improved health. You are fabulous Jane! Love yourself always Jane. I sure do thank God for you.

    So the Wii thing is pretty much not a summer thing for me, but I did do some target practice and badminton. Pretty good, but soon I will be getting back into the swing of bowling again… Have some fun this weekend. That is on my list of things to do… FUN *hugs*

    Note to self: Play like a kid.
