Catching up

Hi Bloggies,



I have a bit of catching up to do with you. So here goes:

Great NSV – On Saturday we went to DH’s company picnic. It is held at an amusement park called Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom. DH"S employer rents the entire park for the employees. It’s actually two parks; an amusement park and a water park. Well, DH & I did not pack a bathng suit – we NEVER go to the waterpark for fear that someone we know would see us & all of our junkity junk flopping around on the water slides & tubes. Well guess what? We get there & DH says Let’s do it! Huh??? DD Emily wore her suit & she was ready to go. DH & I had to buy suits & towels at the gift shop – he didn’t even care that we had to spend the $$$. He just wanted to have a good time with his wife & 10 year old at the water park for a change. We had a blast! I had to skip a few water slides because of my back, but that was ok with me. We spent 4 hours in the water park – walking around in nothing but bathing suits!!! Wow – that was a stretch for us. DH said several times, I can’t believe we’re doing this. He had a big smile on his face each time he said it! After the waterpark, we headed over to the amusement park and had a great time there also – Emily was so happy!

I had an MRI yesterday. My doctor will have the results in 2-3 days. I hope we can get to the bottom of this because I am tired of the constant pain & the inability to do certain activities. Keep you fingers crossed for me!

I signed up for water aerobics at one of our local schools. I go for one hour twice per week. I figure that this is an exercise that will not cause more problems with my back. I am so excited to go – my first class is tonight!

On the Band Front – I am really tight. I am having a lot of trouble eating. I am trying to wait it out a bit & work with it. I lost a half a pound last week. I expected more; but I did not get all pissed about it. The weight will come off – I know that.

Shopping – my new favorite activity (DH wants to kill me). We have a VF outlet about ten minutes from our house. Every few months they have a tent sale on Lingerie. I stocked up on some new bras & panties – ooh la la! It felt good to actually buy some pretty things that did not look like granny panties or old lady bras!

SHOES!!!!! I found tall black boots at Payless that I really like – they actually zip over my calves! I am waiting for their BOGO sale to get them because I saw a cute pair of clogs too!!!

That’s about it for now! I will leave you with this. I am so thankful every.single.day that DH & I were fortunate to get banded. It totally improved our health & our lives.
