Still losing...thats a good thing.

Hi peeps!  Its been about 2 weeks since I updated you all.  I have lost another 10 lbs, down to 280 now for a total of 111 lbs.  I started with a 56 inch waist tonight I put on a pair of size 42 jeans, I am making progress.  I had labs done recently and my numbers came back great.  Everything is in the normal range.  I am not on ANY meds except vitamins.

On a different note, something I have been pondering a bit lately. Gen 50:20, Joseph's father had just died.  His brothers came up with another story and begged Joseph to forgive them for all they had done to him.  You see they feared that with dear old dad gone that it would be time for some payback.  Gen 50:20 records Joseph's response "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done".


God is good all the time and has our best interest in mind.

A Child or Several, depending

HAPPY NEW YEAR--Belated

I hope that this post finds you all well, having had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.  I spent Christmas on call and while I didn't have to work I was still on call, boo.  We had a great Christmas, we spent the day at the Ries' home and had dinner with all the trimmings.  Stefanie did a great job recreating my world famous "mashed potatoes".  We did have a white elephant gift exchange where Ken and several others conspired against me to "freeze" a very cool flashlight before I could snag it.  

Sarah and I went crabbing in Newport the Monday after Christmas and ended up with a 1/2 bucket of crab...good eating and full of protein.

We spent New Years in Seattle.  No wonder Seattle is in the top 50 healthiest cities, those people walk everywhere.  We must have walked 200 miles while there.  The amazing thing to me is that I lived to tell about it and didn't even hurt while doing it--WOW.

Big news...I have lost over 100 lbs.  101 to be exact, as of this morning.  I have 81 lbs left to my goal of 210 lbs.

I have lost a whole child or several......

I will post some pics soon.
