Making changes

Here's the deal, I'm making two big changes in my life. First, I'm eating better, 90% is the Paleo way, mainly meat, veggies, and fruit. The second is I joined a gym so I'll get fit.

At my last doctor's visit he recommend that I lose 14 pounds by the middle of July. I've already lost about 7 pounds. So I'm off to a good start.

I've also set mini goals to losing 50 pounds. This is a picture of a pair of pants I can't fit into. When you see a picture of me wearing them you know I've reached my first goal.


From time to time I'll give you some Paleo recipes. I've got four Paleo cookbooks. Each week I'm going to try a few new ones. I'll let you know how that goes.

I'm excited about trying something new for a better life. I want to get off my medications and start feeling better. I'm 62 years old and I want my last years to be some of my best years. I'll need your support and encouragement.

Father's Day Weekend

We had a nice quiet day...just the way Rick liked it. He got a sound bar thing for the TV. Andrew helped him get it going. It's like surround sound, ours went out, but not exactly. We watched the basketball game with it. It's neat. Go Spurs!

David had a birthday bowling party to go to after his regular bowling. He ended up bowling 5 games and scored 150 on one of them. His left arm was worn out. It was his friend Clay's 30th birthday. Some of David's Pathfinder friends were there and he enjoyed that. They had cheese dip and cupcakes and a good time.

Saturday night we went to Stephen and Jennifer's wedding. The bride was beautiful and her gown was gorgeous. The reception was at a party room at Cajun's. I got to see a lot of Andrew's friends whom I haven't seen in years. It was nice catching up with them. Michelle and Catherine looked great with makeup and all dressed up for the occasion.





Andrew's the tall one. Doesn't he look nice?

Car show

David and Danny went to the Hot Rod Car Show Monday evening. They had a great time.











There were hundreds of vintage cars. They only saw part of them. Looked like fun.

This is the bracelet I started at bead group and finished at home.
I really like it and it was fun to make.


David and I had a joint visit to the liver doctor. That way I only have to go once and not twice. I think I'll try that again. I was fine, but David's enzymes were still slightly elevated. Dr. told both of us us to lose weight and we'd be much better. So that will be our next project. It will be challenging, but we can do it. He also said to go to a gym and lift weights....another challenge.
Anyone know a good cheap gym?

Yesterday I had a " Sharon Day ". I got pampered and it was nice. I my got my toe nails done and the massage that comes with it was great. I also got my finger nails done. That was nice too. I also got my hair done. I walked out of the salon feeling like a new woman. I recommend it to all my girlfriends.

Today I had my follow up visit to the heart doctor after I was in the hospital.
It didn't go well....to many problems to discuss here. I've got to get my medicines straighten out....I had to change some and that causes more complications. I'll just have to try other things until something works.
Dr. Collins is great...he is so sweet to me and kind and patient.
