Part 2 of whats going on with Juliet

Ok so the lump was problem number ONE.. yeah you know how it is when one thing happens something else does too lol

Well i went to doctor in Jan cause i just couldn't stop peeing and having a discomfort so i went thinking i had a kidney infection well it was also time for me to get all my lab work drawn for my gastric surgery (suppose to have it done ever year or so ) . SO i told him i want lab work done plus i have minor dizzy spells pretty often.. SO he did 6 vials of blood YIKES i hate needles ...


well i get a call in 72hrs saying i was positive for LUPUS DISEASE and that i needed to come give more blood so i did 3 more vials get report LUPUS well when i talked to the wacky doc office they said oh no treatment nothing needs to be done ... WELL YOU ALL KNOW THIS SO DIDN'T GO ALONG GREAT WITH ME i was freaking out i have a DISEASE WHAT HOW etc so i cried my eyes out to mom (LOVE YOU SO MUCH MOM) i was again thinking of the worst things etc ) started searching online etc .... so finally went to a lupus workshop giving by lupus foundation etc Then talked to my family and decided i would go to a specialist to get this all figured out and plus i am still having the bladder/kidney issue(not sure which is yet)


SO i went last week to the dr and he claims i dont have signs of lupus but i am a CARRIER for lupus he said doesn't mean i wont or will get it right now. SO he wants to follow me and in july (every six months) to do blood work for him etc to see where this goes .. He is referring me to a doctor that does treatment on kidney/bladder to see whats going on with that so i am still not out of the woods completely but i feel REALLY good that things are looking GREAT ...


He mention it could be extra skin that is hanging that is pushing down (WOOHOO if it is know what this means TUMMY TUCK LOLOL) or i have a overactive bladder

SO please still keep me in your prayers i know my god is going to open doors and keep my health perfect


so may 1st i will be walking at the lupus walk i so cant wait never done one before



HAVE A GREAT WEEK
love always

3months has been very testing for me

ALOT of you don't know this but 3months ago i felt a lump in my breast. Well i had one already on the other side and its been there for years was told it was NOTHING. well getting this second one and being older just kinda of made me scared.yeah i know don't be like that god has power over all but you know you would be the same way .


SO i had a apt last week and they were planning to do a mammogram, ultrasound, and biopsy .. yeah i wasn't too thrilled Plus i was going to the apt by my self so that even made it more scary ...

Weill they did the mammogram and they told me the Dr wanted to see me....YEP I WAS SCARED TO DEATH at this point and i just kept telling god i am not done being a MOMMY (my kids are my life and reason i live every day ) ...

well doctor tells me to sit down my legs started to shake he starts telling me all this stuff in medical term i am looking at him like he had lost his mind.... so he tells me i will see you in 7yrs and no ultrasound and biopsy WOHOOO awesome but what is the point to all this medical stuff so i walk out with the nurse and she tells me NO CANCER just calcium build up which is from your breast reduction (11yrs ago ) and NO worries you are fine...............i went to my car and CRIED YES I DID i know i should of not worried my self to sickness but i did so i am going to stop worrying so much.

SO GOD DOES ANSWER PRAYERS

THANK YOU ALL FOR PRAYING and those that didnt know i am sorry i just felt it was best nobody knew until i found out the details and if i had to break news to family i would be first

SO what is going on with Julie ?

Well heres the scoop

For a while now i been having DIZZY spells and when i eat 10 mins later i am so tired i barley keep my eyes open i have to nap . and i been tired and i am not eating like i should and the list goes on . SO i made a appt today and went took 5 tubes of blood (results friday ) and ekg (it was good) .......... Got two meds one for when i eat and one for dizzy to see if they work ....

I am ok but we need to find out whats going on so maybe on friday i will know more. Please keep me in your prayers .......


SIde note is i asked the nurse to look up my last time there it was Nov of 2008 a month before i had surgery and i weighted in at 301lbs
so if we went by the last doctor visit i have lost 136 lbs ...
if we go by my surgery date dec 08 i have lost 132 lbs so not a really big difference but i like the 136 lol

Still working on the last 25lbs i want OFF


Have a great spring break

LOVE YOU ALL
JULIET

I am still alive lol

Did you wonder what happen to me lol.. I am well and doing great.

Well i will be honest with ya up front i haven't been honest on my new life eating and healthy habits lately ....... But i am now back on track and working on it .

Starting April i will go a full month for lunches on bento box lunches. (look up bento boxes if you don't know what i am talking about .) Each day i will record what i am eating on this blog. I am still sitting at doctors goal of 165 but i would like to loose 25 lbs more and stop for good and maintain a healthy eating life.


SO be watching for up coming meal planning. I will do bento for lunch and fruits or oats etc for breakfast and soups or light food items for supper. Plus when i don't have errands etc to do after work i will hit the schools track and walk for 45 mins. Also until school lets out i will try and get to gym at least twice or once a week not including my track walking. My schedule is so chaos that it will be very hard to get work outs done but i will find a way .

I am doing well over all but i have notice i am not eating the way i should or want to so i am going to kick my self back into it .


I will not be counting calories etc on this diet plan . I will be watching HOW MUCH and WHAT i eat . I think alot of us watch too much the calories etc then the amount now i am not saying i am not going to watch calories at all i am just not going to focus on it as much as i will on what and how much i eat and the sugar intake ( i cant have much sugar intake )


SO i plan to start in april but until then i plan to start walking track and eating healthier things now but going to start hard core in april .



Juliet

valentines dance with bailey

Please dont ask what i was doing i look crazy with that smile lolol..........wait it must of been the money i couldnt find in my purse and i was a nervous wreck until i got home and found it in the chair............Only 900 worth for girl scout cookies lolol...........now you know why i was ready to go and not smile lol

sharing some pictures

Hope this post finds everyone well..


Valentines day, Karleys girl scout event, Bailey event for food bank etc

What ever !!!

Yes that's how i feel when i hear about folks who are over weight. They fuss about their rolls of fat (remember i was there a year ago ) and say they are doing this and that on their (SO CALLED DIET) or better yet their diet is going to start Tomorrow ................HELLO START IT NOW the sooner the better. GEES i get tired of hearing oh i am watching what i eat etc and then you see them eat a foot long subway etc.. Yes i was there i did the same thing but now if i knew what i know now i wouldn't have had to have surgery i wouldn't be over weight but i was and now i am paying the price.. YOU say HOW you had surgery you should be healthy and happy ... Well i am both but i have sagging boobs, got extra skin, thin hair, i can only eat a very small amount of things or i get sick, i will live on vitamins the rest of my life. and many more issues. The one i have the hardest trouble with is THE MENTAL part.. i find my self wanting to still wear 3x clothing when i am in a small 12 size now i find my self eating things i so shouldn't be eating... i find my self FREEZING to death nowadays every bone in my body aches now (yes i have bones finally ) lol. So guess what i am saying before you do this life changing surgery make sure you know all details. Because some have the surgery and then they fail ..(gain it back) I re fuss to fail after surgery i am going to stay healthy and my children will too . My fat life started when i was a child my family didn't care they cooked and cooked and cooked ..........and i ATE ATE ATE and nobody told me different. I don't want that to happen to my kids.


Ok i am done fussing lol

ON good note

I am still at my doctor's goal ... but i so want to loose the last 25lbs of my goal but i am taking it slow.

Here are a few goals i want to do this year (if they happen great if not no big deal i have a full healthy life to do it another year )


1. Ride a rollarcoaster with my kids
2. Walk for a cure
3. Ride a bike (both kinds)
4.maybe take some college course (still debating)
5. Learn more healthy recipe cooking
6. Do yard work with out dieing (yep being over weight can kill ya when you plant flowers ........or did me )
7 Be a better mom to my sweet kids
8 Bea better friend
9 Stay healthy
10 FIND HAPPINESS AND LOVE (and i will leave that subject like that lol)


Well what are your goals.


Have a blessed day
Juliet

HAPPY ONE YEAR TO ME

125 lbs GONE FOR LIFE and counting

Christmas Cookie Rules...





1. If you eat a Christmas cookie fresh out of the oven, it has no calories because everyone knows that the first cookie is the test and thus calorie free.

2. If you drink a diet soda after eating your second cookie, it also has no calories because the diet soda cancels out the cookie calories.

3. If a friend comes over while you're making your Christmas cookies and needs to sample, you must sample with your friend. Because your friend's first cookie is calories free, (rule #1) yours is also. It would be rude to let your friend sample alone and, being the friend that you are, that makes your cookie calorie free.

4. Any cookie calories consumed while walking around will fall to your feet and eventually fall off as you move. This is due to gravity and the density of the caloric mass.

5. Any calories consumed during the frosting of the Christmas cookies will be used up because it takes many calories to lick excess frosting from a knife without cutting your tongue.

6. Cookies colored red or green have very few calories. Red ones have three and green ones have five - one calorie for each letter. Make more red ones!

7. Cookies eaten while watching "Miracle on 34th Street" have no calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one's personal fuel.



8. As always, cookie pieces contain no calories because the process of breaking Causes calorie leakage..

9. Any cookies consumed from someone else's plate have no calories since the calories rightfully belong to the other person and will cling to their plate. We all know how calories like to CLING!





10. Any cookies consumed while feeling stressed have no calories because cookies used for medicinal purposes NEVER have calories. It's a rule!







So, go out and enjoy those Christmas Cookies - we only get them this time of year!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY (RIP)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

well can you see the difference

letter from JESUS

Letter from Jesus about Christmas --

It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are taking
My name out of the season.

How I personally feel about this celebration can probably be most easily understood by those of you who have been blessed with children of your own. I don't care what you call the day. If you want to celebrate My birth, just GET
ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

Now, having said that let Me go on. If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn't allow a scene depicting My birth, then just get rid of a couple
of Santas and snowmen and put in a small Nativity scene on your own front lawn.

If all My followers did that there wouldn't be any need for such a scene on the
town square because there would be many of them all around town.

Stop worrying about the fact that people are calling the tree a holiday tree,
instead of a Christmas tree. It was I who made all trees. You can remember Me
anytime you see any tree. Decorate a grape vine if you wish: I actually spoke of
that one in a teaching, explaining who I am in relation to you and what each of
our tasks were. If you have forgotten that one, look up John 15: 1 - 8.

If you want to give Me a present in remembrance of My birth here is my wish
list. Choose something from it:

1. Instead of writing protest letters objecting to the way My birthday is
being celebrated, write letters of love and hope to soldiers away from home.
They are terribly afraid and lonely this time of year. I know, they tell Me all
the time.

2. Visit someone in a nursing home. You don't have to know them personally.
They just need to know that someone cares about them.


3. Instead of writing the President complaining about the wording on the cards
his staff sent out this year, why don't you write and tell him that you'll be
praying for him and his family this year. Then follow up... It will be nice
hearing from you again.

4. Instead of giving your children a lot of gifts you can't afford and they
don't need, spend time with them. Tell them the story of My birth, and why I
came to live with you down here. Hold them in your arms and remind them that I
love them.

5. Pick someone that has hurt you in the past and forgive him or her.

6. Did you know that someone in your town will attempt to take their own life
this season because they feel so alone and hopeless? Since you don't know who
that person is, try giving everyone you meet a warm smile; it could make the
difference.

7. Instead of nit picking about what the retailer in your town calls the
holiday, be patient with the people who work there. Give them a warm smile and a
kind word. Even if they aren't allowed to wish you a "Merry Christmas" that
doesn't keep you from wishing them one. Then stop shopping there on Sunday. If
the store didn't make so much money on that day they'd close and let their
employees spend the day at home with their families

8. If you really want to make a difference, support a missionary-- especially
one who takes My love and Good News to those who have never heard My
name.

9. Here's a good one. There are individuals and whole families in your town
who not only will have no "Christmas" tree, but neither will they have any
presents to give or receive. If you don't know them,
buy some food and a few gifts and give them to the Salvation Army or some
other charity which believes in Me and they will make the delivery for you.

10. Finally, if you want to make a statement about
your belief in and loyalty to Me, then behave like a Christian. Don't do
things in secret that you wouldn't do in My presence. Let people know by your
actions that you are one of mine.

Don't forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Just love Me and do what I
have told you to do. I'll take care of all the rest. Check out the list above
and get to work; time is short. I'll help you, but the ball is now in your
court. And do have a most blessed Christmas with all those whom you love and
remember :


I LOVE YOU,

JESUS
