Health update.

I was surprised to realize that I haven’t posted anything for almost two months.  I was very busy in August helping Tori get moved into her new place and working on getting her projects done.  I’m hoping to post pictures of those some time soon.  Any way, I’m 14 pounds from my goal.  I’m so excited to be so close.  We had our annual health assessment for insurance at work this last week, and I’m proud to say that I blew it out of the water.

I mean way out………….

The only area that I didn’t make was my BMI, which I expected since I’m not at my goal weight but it was only less than 2 points from a “Healthy weight”. 

Blood pressure was 120/78 (they want 120/80).

Cholesterol (bad) was 173 (they want under 200).  Note: last year it was 268  BOOM!!!!

Cholesterol (good) was 49 (they want 50)

Blood Sugar was 86 (they want under 90)

I’m between a size 8 and 10.

Now you are up to date on my progress.  I am just so excited that things are going so well.

Love all the support from friends and family, I could not have done it alone.

Welcome to the deep end...

...this is the message I got on Monday as I jumped in. Monday was my birthday, another milestone day.  One that I have been dreading for weeks.  Not sure why this one is so hard to swallow.   For weeks I have been feeling like the crocodile from Peter Pan...Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.  The days just tick away. Birthday's are interesting, there is a build up as the day gets closer adding to the excitement (or dread).  Then the alarm goes off on the "BIG" day and you wake up just like any other day.  The same person, nothing feels different.  If it wasn't for the wrinkles you see in the mirror you wouldn't know you were any older. It isn't until you mentally do the math in your head and realize that you're starting a new decade of your life.  60 is the new 30, right!?! We need to not dwell on the years that have past, we should look forward to the years ahead of us, all the new adventures to be had, people to meet, life left to experience. So let's not

New addition

Image
In March we got a new addition to our family.  This little baby is what makes memories and we are so looking forward to using it to make them. Tori and Chad went in with us to make this purchase.  After visiting every RV dealership in Boise, we settled on this Jayco Jay Feather from Bish RV.  We started looking last Sept and it took us so long to decide that the 2016 models were all sold out.  We were able to order 2017 at the 2016 price. Lucky us .  It took until March to get it to Boise, but that worked out great for us.  We didn't have to store it this winter. Last weekend we camped in our driveway to test out all the features to make sure we knew how to do things and that everything worked before we took it out to the wilds. Tori and Chad took it out this weekend to Mann's Creek.  From what I heard things went well, the only comment was that the main big bed was uncomfortable - "like a rock".  I'm sure that it was still better than sleeping on t
