Nowhere really. Just plugging along trying to make it. Work has been hectic as well as my personal life, but things are going all right. Mike came down this weekend, and we filled out the divorce papers. Had them notarized and hope to get them filed within the next week or two. I have to admit that this has been weighing on my mind a lot lately. We are really like oil and water. We spent a lot of time arguing this weekend over things that had nothing to do with the divorce. It's frustrating. But things will get better. We will be better off as friends, and I'm trying to use this change to jumpstart myself into reconnecting with who I am. I know, I know. It sounds new-agey and kinda liberal, but sometimes we really need to remember who we are to better serve and love those around us. I am remembering how much I enjoy writing and singing. I remember how much I like to do things with other people and spend time with my family (which I still don't do enough).
I have also been spending time reading more about nutrition and health topis related to gastric bypass surgery. I found a great resource a fellow patient had recommended to me a long time ago at www.bariatriceating.com. This site has a lot of information and products specifically geared toward gastric bypass patients. I feel foolish I have not been taking advantage of this website all along. But I have been very excited with the products I have tried and feel greatly encouraged. I CAN do this. And I can keep the weight off. I have lost 83lbs as of Friday morning. Only 117 to go!
Here is a somewhat recent picture (last few weeks).
