Introduction Text I've returned, again. I had Gastric Bypass surgery on May 20, 2009 and I got promoted to a supervisor position at my job. I have lost 105 pounds so far. So much has changed for me and for once, in soooooo many years, I fight to keep my pants up instead of fighting to get them on. I can shop, do activities with my kids, etc., without being physically exhausted or incapable of doing them. God has given me a new lease on life. I am getting baptized on Sunday, October 24, 2009. I'm ready to have the past washed away and focus on the future. MOTIVATIONAL / INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES "Stop living life for what's around the corner and start enjoying the walk down the street." -- Grant L. Miller, motivational guru "The present is what slips by us while we're pondering the past and worrying about the future." -- Ziggy, cartoon foible "Fall seven times. Stand up eight." -- Japanese Proverb "We're always getting ready to live, but never living." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer "Do something for somebody every day for which you don't get paid." -- Albert Schweitzer, philosopher, musicologist, doctor "The past does not equal the future. Because you may have failed a moment ago, All day today, Or for the last six months, Or for the last sixteen years, Or for the last fifty years of your life Does not mean anything. All that matters is What are you going to do NOW? " -- Anthony Robbins "If we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything, is ready, we shall never begin." -- Ivan Turgenev, novelist, poet, playwright "Consult not your fears, but your hopes and dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you have tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do." -- Pope John XXIII "Never give in. Never. Never. Never. Never." -- Winston Churchill "Energy creates energy. It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich." -- Sarah Bernhardt "Our greatest glory consist not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." -- Oliver Goldsmith "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." -- Robert Collier "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in. Forget them as soon as you can." --- Ralph Waldo Emerson "This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." ---William Shakespeare "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you, too, can become great." --- Mark Twain, writer and satirist "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." --- Martin Luther King Jr., civil rights icon

Remember God is in control and my life is His. To be healthier and sexy. To shop in regular sizes instead of the plus ones. To walk into my kids school/activities feeling confident and not embarrassed. To take a family photo so my husband will be quite...lol.

Keeping up with my SP family. 1 hr of cardio, 6 days a week. Logging everything that enters my mouth. Letting God be in control.

I am: mother of 5, stepmom of 1, stepgrandmother (Oma) of 3. I love: God, hubby, kids, sunshine, laughter, flowers, fishing, music, art, singing, dancing, playing in the rain, animals, chocolate, mexican food, chinese food, hugs, watching my babes sleeping, seeing their smiles, my life, the smell of fresh cut grass, swimming, trees, life, sleeping, walking, shopping, the movies The Wedding Singer & Pretty Woman, watching george clooney, books, eeyore, the color green, my friends, my family, cuddling, tattoo's, sparkpeople, life, and for the first time......me.
