We're shrinking...

Weighed in this morning and lost another 3.6 pounds, bringing me to a total of 16.8 so far :) Although it's going very, very slow, I'm still really stoked that instead of gaining weight through chemotherapy (like most people do), I'm losing weight. Yahoo!! I can't exercise at all, so this really thrills me :) Every once in awhile I'll walk around the block with John and Jordan, but it's not quite enough to call exercise. At least it's something. And Teresa Rose would say as long as I'm "moving more, and eating less", I'm on the right track.

Okay, now that I'm done tooting my own horn, I'll brag about my husband who lost 8.8 this past week!!!! I'm very proud of John for trying, whenever he does, it's VERY evident in the numbers. Good job sweetheart :) I'm not sure about his running total, but I think he started all over again this past week.

And as far as an update on Johnny, apparently I was wrong...he actually had a dislocated shoulder and not a separated one. He is on the mend, wearing his brace and doing well. He will start his physical therapy soon and has hardly needed any pain meds.

Life is good and I want to stick around for more of it :)

Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie
