Wow, what a difference a year has made.

This is a picture of my son in law, Steve Jr. and my good friend Lori Troyer. This was taken at We Fest during Little Big Town, Lori got us up front! Thanks Lori, you're the best!

This was last year, Savanna's first day of school. I haven't even seen this picture, Steve had taken it with his camera and I guess I totally forgot about it! That's our sweet little Lucky, he was so cute! We miss him! Anyway, thought it would be fun to put these two pictures together to see the difference! I can't believe I allowed myself to be so heavy!

Take Care,
Kerri

oh man my heels hurt!

So, I went to the doctor for my regular checkup and had hoped to get another shot of cortisone in my heels, this would be the 3rd injection.

My right heel has been hurting alot lately, usually it's just in the mornings but lately it has been on going thru the day.

Unfortunately, it's only been 5 months and I can only have the cortisone every 6 months. Man, that stinks!

I'm having a really hard time running because it's too painful....another bummer! I had hoped to run the 8k at the big Potato Bowl mid September....Don't think that's gonna happen.

So, i'm doing my best to deal with the pain and still get a great work out in!

Hope you are doing great!

Feels like starting over......workin out isn't fun!

LOL.....what a work out! Wow, it felt like it was my first day working out! Wholy cow!
Savanna and I went to work out today. Ok, I have been having a tuff time getting in the gym to work out. I've been averaging a couple times a week, no where n.ear as often as I should be working out and today I could tell.

This would be the only reason I am glad fall is just around the corner, because it's much easier to stay consistant!

My heels really hurt tonight! anyway, I'm very tired. Off to bed.

Have a great week! Hope all is going great with you!

Wholy cow, look at that guys arms! (mens olympics/rings)...I love gymnastics!

Lucky our precious dog was killed tonight.

August 13, 2008
I was so tired I fell asleep downstairs and about 6:30 my daughter Tanisha came running downstairs shouting that Lucky had been hit by a car. I can NOT handle these kinds of things so all I could do is call the vet and cry. Thankfully her husband Steve was right there, down the road with Lucky. Steve was on the way home and got to Steve and Lucky a few minutes later. Lucky had already been gone tho. Whoever hit Lucky didn't stop, thankfully a lady driving by came to our house and asked if we had a dog.

We are so sad, Lucky was the best dog ever. He was always full of love and Lucky always wanted to snuggle! Such a loving dog!

We will miss him alot!

Savanna her friend Olivia and Lucky summer 2007

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown...

Thanks mom for sending this, I love you!

Kerri's Progress

Hi there, I finally took a few minutes to take a quick picture of my weight loss progress. No laughing at the pictures! I have more to loose, but am happy with myself that I continue to reach my goals!

This is September 7, 2007

This is December 28, 2007

And this picture I just took today, August 5, 2008!

57 pounds down! 36 to go to reach a HUGE goal of 94 pounds lost.

Why I fear a band adjustment

Hey,
I am here at work, with a few short minutes to type a few thoughts.

I continue to struggle with food getting "stuck". I also continue to be confused with why some foods go down with no problems, but they should be a problem.

I am afraid if I go in and have some taken out that I will be able to eat too much and won't be able to control that "over-eating" thing. I know, you are probably telling me I should have more confidence in myself and you are right. Honestly, what I'm able to eat, isn't the healthiest.

I will call and have some taken out, the worst that will happen is I will be able to eat too much and then I can just go back in and have an adjustment! Yeah! that sounds perfect!

I will let you know!
Enjoy the Day!
Kerri

Reached a goal! finally!

Hey there, Happy Monday!

Last week I finally reached a weight loss goal. I had been stuck at my weight and wasn't able to take any pounds off. I also decided at the start of last week I was going to get back into my work out routine and I said I would work out 3 days and I DID! YEAH!!!

Do you see what happened there? I worked out AND I lost pounds I hadn't been able to loose???

Yep, you MUST eat healthy, eat fewer calories AND exercise to be succesful with your weight loss!

Have a great week, and I again and putting a goal out there, 3 work outs this week! I would say 4, but since We Fest is this week, I don't want to put a goal out there I may not be able to reach.

Enjoy the week!

Kerri
