On Friday, several of my female co-worker’s and I got together for a Cookie Exchange Luncheon provided by a local hotel.  We had a wonderful time – here are some pictures from the day.                            

Missing Meat

IMAG5921

In early August I watch the movie Forks Over Knives.  It was right around that time that I decided to participate in a week long meatless challenge with some of my friends.  My whole life I’ve always been one of those people that claimed there was no way I could be a vegetarian.  I made [Read On]

Reining it in

Now that I’ve got the go-ahead to resume working out, I really want to focus on improving my eating habits.  Before Monday, I wasn’t tracking anything which usually led to unhealthy choices or portions that were way too big.  When I eat that way, I feel like I’m constantly hungry and I don’t crave anything [Read On]

Good To Go

I had my post op appointment with my doctor yesterday afternoon.  He said I’m healing great and I should be good to go to resume any kind of activity.  He was actually impressed when I told him I walked a 5k on Sunday. When we first discovered the cyst on my ovary, he assured me [Read On]

When I registered for this race a couple of months ago, my plan was to be done with Couch to 5k and ready to run.  Then I found out I had to have surgery and thought I was going to miss it completely.  Last week I decided I felt good enough to walk it. On [Read On]

I survived my first day back to work!  Of course a good part of the morning was spent answering people’s questions about my surgery and how I’m recovering.  It was uncomfortable sitting in my chair all day and I was ready for a nap at lunch time but it was good to be back. When [Read On]

Hi there and Happy December!  Wow, this year seriously went by in a flash! I spent the week recovering from my surgery on Monday and am feeling much better.  My incisions are healing very nicely and the pain is subsiding more and more every day.  Tuesday and Wednesday were probably the worst days.  Every time I [Read On]

Surgery

Good Morning to those of you that are still with me!  I had my surgery yesterday morning.  Unfortunately, we had to drive to Jacksonville since that’s where my doctor is.  (I used to live there before I moved in with Dane)  My surgery was scheduled for 8:15am but I was told to arrive at 6:15am.

Weekend Happenings

Good Morning!  Monday isn’t so bad when you have a short week to look forward to although my weekend seemed to go by in a flash. On Friday night, we had Dane’s parents and grandma over for dinner.  I didn’t take any pictures, but we had baked tilapia, acorn squash, zucchini and rice.  It was [Read On]
