At the finish line..of sorts.

Well here it is, Saturday night, the 22nd. I am 4 days away from surgery. I almost can not believe it. I can not believe that it is here. I have been on a liquid diet with some protein here and there. It has been a long couple of days, but nothing I could not handle. It's all part of the journey. So i had my pre-op physical and of course my thyroid is off. When is it not?!?! However the surgeon is not concerned and it should not postpone anything having to do with the surgery.
so now....
more of the dreaded photo updates. I always hate this because I never see the kind of progress that I want to...but i do see a little here and there. I have to remember my moto...Every pound is one less pound I am carrying around with me. 
So far I have lost 24 pounds... It fluctuates from day to day, but I try to track it by weighing in every Monday. 
Ok enough stalling...here are the photos. 
Here is my photo from May
 Here is my photo from September.
My surgery is September 26. 
I will be updating from the hospital on how surgery went and also my progress after I go home. Wish me luck.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
