This year I’m not going to make any New Years Resolutions.  I made a promise to myself in January to become healthier due to all the health problems my parents have had this year, and that’s what I’m going to stick with.  I started off strong and around March got sidelined for 9 months for a very good cause.  This has been a year of extreme highs and lows personally for me, as well as with Kama, who is one of my very best friends.  I never got to know her dad, but I did her mom and I can say that it sure did hit me when I got back from lunch the other day to the email from Kama about her mom.  As a lot of you know, I’ve almost lost my mom several times this year, and had to deal with her a$$ of a husband, all the while going through a high risk pregnancy that I never thought would happen.  I’ve always wanted to have a baby, and to have my mom around to share in everything with me.  I finally got my baby, and even though mom’s still around, she’s not the same… most days it’s like she’s in a shell.  I am so incredibly greatful for finding BS and having the friends I found on here, I definitely would have had an even harder time dealing with everything if it weren’t for all of you!  So now I move on to a new year and I get to watch my beautiful daughter grow and learn, and get to watch my mom deteriorate.  The circle of life in person for me.

So I want to say a great big THANK YOU to all of my friends and buddies, and a special thank you to Kama, Anj, Tracey, Lori, Nancy, Betsy, Debbie, Pandora, Molly, and Linsey (wherever you are) who have been there with me since I joined, and a thank you to all the Wildcats and my other buddies who have been there as well. 

 Finding this website saved my life… Anj improved it even more by bringing me to the Wildcats!

So Happy New Year to all of my wonderful, fabulous, awesome friends, and I hope that 2009 is a better year for all of us!

I love you all!

They are going to have a Zumba class here at work on Wednesday’s after work..  I just sent in my enrollment form!  It starts next week!!  I’m really looking forward to it!!

Kama just wanted to let everyone know that her mom passed away this morning, that she had a seizure.  Kama will not be at work all week, and will try and get on to BS when she can.   Please keep the prayers going for her. 

Kama’s mom passed away this afternoon and I know she is really going to need our prayers..  one of us wildcats will keep everyone posted when we know more! 

Well today I completed my first post pregnancy workout.  It didn’t go too bad.  Warmed on the eliptical, did my upper body weights (need to firm up my breasts the look like they’ve deflated) and did about 25 mins on the treadmill.  They redid the locker rooms and showers and its really nice in there, like a health spa.  The shower is one of those like a rain shower…  really nice.  I claimed a locker for myself, and will do my best to get back in there tomorrow!  Thanks to all my buddies for your extra support!

Oh yeah, I was also going to say.. I’m using the scale in the gym for my weigh ins, so I’m not happy about it because it showed me at 198.5 today, but my last weigh in at the dr was 194..  I just have to go with the scale in the gym though, cuz I don’t have ready access to any others.  Just wanted to let you know.
