Update of my Life!

After a 3 month hiatus from Weight Watchers I have decided to join again with the PointsPlus program. It's a little different than the other program that WW had but I like that all fruit is free. I am still down 23 pounds from July which in great! I have been going through alot the last 3 weeks.
I have an infection in my central line's tunnel and regular antibiotics didn't work so I now have a PICC line in my right arm that I have to run IV antibiotics through twice a day. It's not good for weight loss as I am finding out. I started WW 2 weeks ago and haven't lost a pound. I am not sweating it. I should be done with this therapy soon. It's a royal pain to shower but otherwise it's not too bad. I have been through worse. I have been bowling great with the PICC line, which is great too.
I have been really happy lately even with the medical issues. I am looking forward to my Florida trip with the Eagles Drill team that is in July. I want to lose about 30 pounds before I go so I look great in my bathing suit! My doctor told me flying is perfectly safe. The women in my Drill team are great. They are friendly and are great to be around. I also like the time I get to spend with my sister, Michelle as she joined the Eagles with me.
I got a sewing machine for Christmas and I am doing really good with it so far. I made Brianna 3 things so far for her dolls. My goal is to make alot of items for AMerican Girl Dolls and sign up for a craft show in the fall. I want to contribute money into the house while doing something I enjoy.
Ok, I have blabbed on long enough. I want to blog alot more in the future. Remember that life is short so make sure you live every day to the fullest!!! None of this, Poor me crap!!!

Changing My Life

On this day of your life, Jessie, we believe God wants you to know ... that the greatest happiness in life is knowing that you are loved for who you are, and sometimes in spite of who you are. This is what my "Message From God" facebook app said today. This touched me. I have been fighting a losing battle with my weight since I was 10 years old. I was a freshman in high school with a weight of 260. I have lost a lot of weight and gained a lot of weight in the last 15 years! I am the definition of a yo-yo dieter. My doctor told me in order to qualify for a lung transplant if it becomes necessary, I would have to lose 40 pounds. So I am on the journey to weight loss and a lifestyle change, AGAIN. This time it feels different. I want this to be my new life forever, not just another diet. I am eating a heart healthy diet, low in fat and plenty of lean protein, whole grains and veggies. I love The Biggest Loser cookbook. I am exercising several times per week. I know I will f...

     I know that I have not posted in more than a year.  My life has been wonderful and full of living.  I have been enjoying my family, bowling, knitting and riding our motorcycle with the hubby.  I decided to post today because it is my 12 year anniversary of going on my IV medication, Flolan and then Veletri for my PH.  It has saved my life.        I had my Hickman central line placed on January 22, 2002. I started Flolan in the hospital at the  University Of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI. I was admitted in the hospital for 5 days as my doctor increased the Flolan to a therapeutic dose.  It was the most frightening experience ever.       I was 23 years old, I had a 19 month old daughter and a boyfriend of a year.  I was told to get my affairs with my daughter and my life in order because my PH was so severe.  I was so sick that I was blue all the time, I couldn't walk around with out getting dizz...
