Hello All did you think I got lost from blogging??? I did not so much has happened since my surgery. For starters, I moved all the way across the US for a new position with the company.  WOW what a move!!! I will never drive across country in the middle of the winter ever again.  While in PA, I had the honor of meeting four of the Steelers for our Grand Opening. I have fully settled into my new position as Office Manager.  I am now getting ready to hit the gym here and have found out the wonders of the awesome shopping they have in this side of the country!!! Will post more later when I have more time.  Have a great day and keep on pumping!! 

Well I am starting to count down to surgery.  I am getting ready for no solid foods for 7 days!!!! This is going to be odd!! Not sure how the body will handle it??  Hopefully it will make am lose the weight and get me to goal faster.  One can only hope!!! We have seven days to the S-DAY.  Doing great on working out although I am not able to take any supplements right now not even vitamins.  Wow I miss my thermogenic the most!!!!

Well I feel off the train and started again. I had a really really bad and stressfull day and was not strong enough to keep from it.  So I started again.  However, On january 29th I go in for a tonsillectomy.  At my age we are saying I will be down for about a week and not able to smoke for that time.  So now a new goal do not go back to smoking!!!!!  

Quitting Smoking!!

Let me tell you I am on day number six and this is not for the weak!!! I have gone through with the major headaches and I am still a not very nice person to be around.  However, things are starting to lighten up a little and I am getting back in the swing of work life.  The one thing that is driving me nuts is that I am afraid to leave my desk now I have no reason to. Except for water. However, if I can quit smoking I can do any thing.  Watch Out Jamie Easton here I come for your position.  JK

Hey you all!! I quit smoking on 1/1/07.  I am going to tell you this is the hardest thing in the world.  However, I know for my health it is the best thing in the world to do and I want to prove to every one in the office that I can do this!! HA HA
