Better days are here...

I hope everyone is having a super Wednesday!

I am feeling so much better. My pulled stomach muscle is better, and I'm getting more energy day by day! I'm a little anxious about getting my first saline fill in Dallas on Sept. 15th. Never hurts to pray early right? LOL

I haven't had to go home from work or anything. Yes, I'm still pooped at the end of the day, but it's still good.

Church is tonight. Wishing I could take a power nap before, but that isn't going to happen.

This weekend our church is having a family retreat at the lake. Many will go down on Friday evening, but the big night is Saturday. The church will provide food, and then we will have a small devotion, with a little worship, then fireworks! It kind of feels different not having a Sunday service at the church, but hey praising God is great anywhere you do it!

I'll try to get some pictures to show you.

I'm at work now, so we'll chat later....

Slowly better...

Well I made it to Sunday today! And yes I feel so much better. I am trying to not overdo because I don't want to feel bad for work tomorrow. I am still sore, and still nursing the pulled muscle. But I'm sleeping so much better, so of course overall you feel better! :)

Church was awesome today! What a great service! I think I say that all the time, but it really was.

I'm doing some laundry and trying to get my son ready for school tomorrow! My daughter is in college so she does most everything on her own. Please pray for Joshua. He seems to have a little anxiety. He has over the weekend actually! But I know after the first week or two he will be fine!

This weekend is tax free weekend and NO, I did not go school shopping! Are you crazy??

Well I will check in later....

Two days later...

Well, I am fixing to go home from work for the day and of course I'm pooped! Whew...it just takes it out of me right now.

Somehow Monday night getting situated in bed, my stomach pulled to the left and pulled the muscle where my port is located! I was in so much pain. I have missed 2 days of work trying to baby this muscle! grrrrr
Honestly, you don't realize how much you use your stomach muscles. You use them to do everything! Cough, Sneeze, blow your nose, stand up...I mean everything! There was no way I was going to work and be taking my pain medicine. I was hurting so bad.

So two days later...I am back at work. Not feeling great yet, but here. I am just babying my stomach right now, and trying to let it heal. I'm eating much better now!

Keep praying that I regain my strength and stamina! I'm also trying to keep my protein level up. Ugh!

Well I hope everyone is having a super Sunday! I made it through church this morning, and I was able to do praise and worship and it was awesome! I really felt the presence of the Lord!

It was also good to get out of the house. I have been taking it easy and working from home, so haven't been outside much. I'm able to eat just about anything that I try as long as it is in moderation and I don't over eat. I'm going to go back to work tomorrow and try to make it a full day. So pray for me please. I seem to do well in the mornings, but as the day wears on...I start dragging a bit.

I haven't been able to weigh myself on a good scale, but going to try to very soon. I'm anxious to see what I've lost. I have noticed a difference. I am trying to remember that this is gradual weight loss, not an overnight process. But that's ok, I would rather have it this way. It would be awful, if I was not able to enjoy some of the foods that my heart desires. :)

Thank you for the continued prayers! I still need them so don't stop now! ;)
