great new regarding my daughter

Good news!
My oldest daughter Tanisha and son in law Steve Jr. sold their house in Hibbing yesterday! Sold in a week! They sold it on their own too which is great!

Steve Jr. also passed his phsyc test today! Tanisha has a job lead in the pharmacy at Altru hospital here in Grand Forks.

Steve's first week on the job as the new police officer in Larimore went great! He really enjoys working with Jeremy Hanson the Chief in Larimore!

I am so thankful and so blessed to have them move so close to us! It's been such a treat having Steve Jr. here in the house! oh, and their dog Smorzie!

Food isn't getting stuck so much???

Hi there, how in the world does time slip away so fast? I remember when I was younger, older people would always tell me it gets worse when you get older and I think that's true!

We went out to eat at Speedway last night and I was able to eat some cheese/ham bites, walleye bites and some bloomin onion. No problems at all.....very strange......first time in a long time I can remember it being that easy to eat!

Today, I finally got a healthy choice meal down. Of coarse there was pasta in it and pasta doesn't go down well at all......

I emailed my doctor(havent heard back) about why the changes in the tightness of the band. It will be interesting to hear what she says about it.

Finally went to work out. I have been so terrible out keeping with my routine. Sure i've been exercising a couple days a week, but that is just not enough. Summer has been so busy! Good thing it's been an active one! My goal is to get to the gym 3 times this week!

Enjoy the week! thanks for checking out my blog!

Food is getting stuck alot and I don't know why

Hi, thought i'd share my slight struggles with eating the past week and half. I haven't had a fill but yet I am having a hard time with most food getting stuck. It is so strange. I am not eating too fast, because i'm paying close attention since i'm having such a hard time.

Seems like anything solid is getting stuck. Unfortunately i've been eating bad food, you know the stuff that goes down easy. Chocolate, ice cream, chips, and i've been eating soup. I've heard from the discussion board it could be due to it being close to "that time of the month". But I don't think that's the case........

I think I will email my dr and see what she says!

take care!

Firecracker 5K yeah, I did it!

What a beautiful morning it was on the 4th of July! Great day for a 5K! Here I am with Jeremy Jones, the 5K winner. I tried a different strategy this time, ran as much as I could then walked and continued that thru the run.

Kerri Drees 42:50

there's my time. My Fargo Marathon time was 44:57. so I beat it by about 2 minutes and 7 seconds! Hey, every second counts! That's all I wanted to do, beat my last 5k time!

Yesterday, I went out for my run/walk and I was amazed at how well I felt and did! I actually didn't hate it! LOL, that is amazing! I hate running, I am terrible at it.....but like I said, yesterday actually felt really good! Maybe i'll start to like it!

If you would like to join me Saturday August 2nd for the 5K or half marathon(yeah right), I will be doing the Cats Incredible 5K. Join me! http://www.gfymca.org/ for details or email me!

Take Care
