Getting closer and feeling a little nervous

Hi there,

Funny how we get impatient about events in our lives and all of a sudden those events come and go! Surgery is only 2 1/2 weeks away! The whole time i've not had any feelings of nervousness or second thoughts. As it gets closer, those feelings are changing, but just a little. I was talking to a friend who just had the surgery a week ago and she's having a hard time with food going in one end and coming out the other! It really is a huge lifestyle change, as I sit here drinking a diet coke, realizing after surgery I won't be able to drink pop. Toast, bread, pasta, raw veggies, nope! Not for many months anyway. You know tho, that's ok! I'm ok with it!

Today wasn't one of the best days I've had, in fact it started out very crappy and now as I sit here typing the desire to work out is slipping away. It's amazing how draining emotional stress/crying is. It's ok, i'm fine.....don't worry! I just get tired of my emotions and feelings getting trampled on.

My last class is Monday, the 29th. It's amazing how fast these last 3 months have gone! I am truely blessed to have been with a group of about 10 people that have made this journey alot of fun! And if you feel that the 3 months of classes required at Altru is too long, it's really not, you will learn SO much and make friends with some wonderful people! Go to one of their info classes! email me if you need more info: kerri@97kyck.com

Hey, I just got done with a 15 day Thisilyn Cleanse digestive sweep and I feel it was very helpful! I noticed feeling less tired, refreshed and energized. I would recommend the 15 day sweep rather than the 7 day. Yeah, you get sick of taking pills day and night, but in the end it's well worth it! find more info here http://www.naturesway.com/NaturesWay/productDetail.aspx?productid=15409

If you have any questions, Kathy is wonderful and very knowledgeable about this and other vitamins and health foods. Call her at 701-772-8086 or 701-746-4499

Another product I highly recommend is the Whey Protein they have from NOW Foods

Understand I have tried MANY protein mixes and this is by far the best tasting and the consistency is great! I can't stand gritty, thick protein shakes, YUCK!

Try this:
8 oz. Soy Milk(vanilla-low fat)
1/2 cup frozen fruit
1 container yogurt-fat free
Protein mix

I have a hand mixer, love it! Mix this up and you are set!

Enjoy the day and get some exercise in, even if it's only 10 minutes!

Got a call from the clinic today with my surgery date! YIPPY! November 13th is the day! I am very excited. I also lost 2 more pounds so my total weight loss is 19 pounds. Now, i've had some people ask me, "well Kerri, why don't you just keep going and NOT have surgery"? Well, because if you look at my life, you'll see that I've lost weight many times only to gain it back. Plus I really want to loose alot of weight and keep it off and feel this is an incredible tool to help me accomplish my weight loss goals!

Things were kinda crazy for me last week, had alot of work to do and ended up working late a few days, that always makes it tuff to get a work out in. I missed a work out Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I hate that.......it's too easy to continue down that path!

It is time to get on the air! Hope you are doing fabulous! i'm always here if you want to chat! Send me an email-kerri@97kyck.com

Take Care,
Kerri
