July 24th

Well guess what???????? I exercised today with my chair exercise DVD!! And i did it all :o) I would recommend it to anyone who has arthritis! The best DVD out there !

You know i did not think I could do it and my body was not going as fast as him. But I am SO proud of myself for getting started .... yippie!!!

Today rain rain rain ..my goodness what a lousy summer we are having.. Denis is gone to Halifax to pick up Tony (our son) from the airport .. He will be getting in late ...

I tryed to finish the wash today but to no avail. I did get my hair dyed and eye brows & upper lip waxed ..how gross! yip starting to look like a man ..ha ha

Now when the hair starts to grow in my ears ..I will join a freak show ..whaaaaaa

I have decided to change my food plan a bit to jump start weigh loss with the exercise .... good old meat and veggies :o) trying to stay away from the bad carb's and all that ....

I almost went to the ice cream shop today .Then I could feel the old spare tire around my waist??? OK where my waist used to be :o) and I thought i better not ...

Mom brought over home-made bread this morning .... can you hear me scream whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa OK I think they heard me all the way to the USA ... I bet they could smell it there also .

Anyway I guess that is it for now .... love to all ~~onward and upward!!! Annie xxx

Just Disgusted ! 18 to the 22

Ok where is the weight loss? I should be well on my way to more loss of lbs by now :o(

Maybe its me and I am not eating enough..or to much or its the pills or its because I am so sore i cannot get out of my own way~~~

anyway exercise? what the hell is that? I am very lucky I can walk to the bathroom .. iam so sick of this crap.. OK maybe I need some good dope~ any one have some whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

And yes I am sick of the whining I do and everything in between .. ordered a chair exercise that I really think I can do .. I better do something .. I see the doc Tues. and I am not leaving there until I get some real answers about my leg and foot ...

Now you know why I did not blog for a while .. I am to busy whining..sorry about that .. I guess I am just tired of pain ...

on the bright side of things ~~~ the sun is shining ! I have a new sponsor child from Romania ~ She is 6 years old and is disabled . God love her . My heart goes out to her . They live in a one room apt for the whole family ..

We are so lucky in this life . I am so blessed to be able to sit here and complain on this piece of equipment , surrounded by all my stuff , with lots of food ,clothes and tons of room . yet I still complain ... God forgive me .

Heather , I think you are doing amazing in walking and getting exercise . yahhhhhh!
Elizabeth ~ enjoyed our talk~ Nancy ~ yes I am still alive .. but not kicking ha ha ~~ thanks for all the support ,and please don't give up on me ..I do enough of that .. love to all Annie xxx

Second Fill !!

Hi there ~ well had my fill today .. 2 cc she was going to put 3 , but I could not take it .. anyway came home , i was hungry. Mom had made potato salad and ham . I took some ate it .. but it did not stay down ... So I had lots of restriction . But I am OK now . :o)

Decided to go to bingo . Did not win ..and will never go back ..the chairs were so uncomfortable . they dug into my legs and my back just killed me And the prises were so little ... cheapos whaaaaaaaaaaaaa

last night I did not sleep well . I am trying to get off sleeping pills . Anyway I am so sore lately but the sleeping pills are so bad they make me eat mindlessly .. So no more for Annie ... but i will be lacking lots of sleep ..... : ( I don't function well without rest ...

Anyway .. I feel better tonight and hope to feel the same tomorrow .. Elizabeth~~~ I think we are ships passing in the night ... Hope to catch up soon ... heather ~~yes I was able to eat .. But I do feel restriction .. I am soooooo happy...... :o)

Sleep well everyone cause I know ..... I WILL NOT WHAAAAAAAAAAA

Tomorrow I will be going for my second fill. I am even to tired for that ! Whaaaaaaaa
Anyway time to get my home in shape and laundry done . It looks like a war zone in the laundry room :o(

One night there was 13 ~~ the next night 16 .... first week in august there will be OMG !! so many .... I am sorry that I have not been able to do the blog ..its so hard to focus when you have no rest and lots on the mind ...

Confession time~~ ate half a bag of chips .... That was a supper ... But you know I think I needed that cause , i will never do that again .....

I payed big time with a sore belly... I also found out I cannot eat a whole sandwich. But again I am happy to know this :o) Its the reason I had the surgery.

I love my sun porch its very peaceful and large enough that I don't feel crowded even when there is a crowd.. :o)

The weather is improving which makes it nice to look outside ...the mood seems better with everyone ..

Well just wanted to pop in to say I am still here ...and that I AM BACK LOL

Thanks for looking as always I care for you all ...... love Annie xxx

July 8th Late at Night

Well ok I was not going to write this. But had a very bad day . down in the old dumpers you know ..whaa whaa whaa... but I am sick of being sick and tired . So i took my pills and also a protein drink. Making sure that I have my vitamins. Bout a large bottle of Vitamins only to open them and find out I bought the ones that are soooo big ... cant win think week !

I will go to bed tonight with a new attitude to be better about every, and give my self a mental break on life ... I will get through this ,I know I will .

Congrats heather on your milestone ..Way to go !!!! :o) I will try and do better on the blog tomorrow and be more cheerier... I think i will join the gym tomorrow. That will make me happy ... send me all the love you can I can sure use it . love annie xxx

Ok I Took New Pic !

So I took a few pics not happy with them .. Denis was in a hurry So that is what I got Plus another that I hate ... but I Guess that I will not be happy with all of them ...

I found batteries after 9 so that is why i did not take any of the sun porch ..but tomorrow its going to be a better day and I will take some of his work .. so far very nice job!!

My brother Allan arrived today ... he will be here for a month. I was expecting him on the 12 so I got my days mixed up .

Did not go for a walk today . Very sore foot.. Make me so depressed about trying to walk to get exercise . Some of the easy stuff to lose weight have been the treadmill & walking . So when the feet and legs are not being kind to me .

.I just want to cry ...forget the pain . i will live with that . Its the feeling of being Cripple and I hate it ..I know thank God It could be worse and might be . Its a terrible disease..And I am just having a bad couple of days whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Ok I am done with the whining!

Food wise I really think I am doing fantastic .. The weight does not seem at the moment to be flying off me . But the inches are ..I do notice a big change in my body & clothes . And its only been 5 weeks . But you know ,we always want everything YESTERDAY its the way of the world :o)

Well hope you all like the picture I posted ..If you are really kind to me i may post some more .... hehehe love to all ~~~ thanks for reading my blog Annie

Sunday July 5th

Today I walked twice ...Yes I did say twice..I am so proud of myself, even though my angels swelled . I just felt such energy ..hey heather maybe the Vit B12 is working???

Not much rain today and I really thought this was one of the better days so far . We are not breaking any sunny day records for sure .

I am starting to get cabin fever :o( maybe that is why I walked 2 times today .. I did the wash ..yuk ... Denis painted the outside of the sun porch .. tomorrow I will take some pics to show you all how its coming.

Depending on my mood I might take a pic of myself :o) just to see if my face is different or slimmer then before .

heather I think you are doing wonderful just staying away from soda pop .. I know how much you were addicted to that so congrats!

Today Breakfast~~~ I ate 1 egg & 3 slice Bacon ~coffee x2
Lunch~~~ broccoli & Cheese
Supper ~~~ 2 Ital. Light & Low Sausage Water Water Water

But the night is still young :o) I had to fight hard to not go get myself a soft ice-cream
In the end the "sugar devil" did not win :o)
