The Magic Number

I know, I know. You are all waiting for that special post about my recent vacation. It's in the works. I have close to 500 pictures I need to go through before I can post with confidence....and even then, not so much.

To tame your excited little hearts, here's a little tidbit about me I just happened to figure out today.

I was reviewing my medical records from an old doctor and found out that as of today, I have lost 69 pounds since I was at my heaviest. Now, I won't divulge the old number or the new number but I will tell you that it has been a slow up hill battle - to which I will never return to the bottom.

Just thought I would share. Must stop now...my arm has broken from patting myself on the back.

**Side note - I'm NO WHERE NEAR being done either. My hopes are that I can blog one day about losing 100 pounds. At which point, I will say "SUCCESS" (that's for you Tim & Joe)

Couldn't pass this one up

Imagine...

Erik sitting on the couch. Bag of Twizzlers in lap, large glass of juice on floor.

Him: "mmmmm" (not mmmm good, mmm like wowwy wow wow I can't believe I didn't think of this earlier)
Me (as I look over to see what all of the excitement is about): "you know why I can't get behind you and your weight loss/stop smoking ventures?"
Him: silence for like seriously 2 minutes, while he chews on Twizzlers
Me: "oh you already know?"

Then I broke it to him that I had a blog and he informed me I better not be writing about him.

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I can't do it anymore.

I've played this charade for long enough. I've clung to my 20/20 vision long enough. Mind you, I have had glasses for sometime now. I just refused to wear them. Sure I let them out of their protective case every once and again to make sure they were still intact. Well, as of late, I have been having this weird throbbing/pulsing on the left side of my head above my ear. It's not painful in anyway, just very bizzare.

WebMd tells me it is one of three things...

1. My vision is impaired and I need to get it checked...STAT!
2. I am having some sort of stress induced migraine.
3. I have brain cancer.

I'm hedging my bets on numero uno. I've had a migraine...let me tell you....ranks right at the bottom of "My Things To Do When Bored" list. I've reviewed my medical records and sure enough, it's been over a year since my last eye exam. Pretty dumb for someone who sits on a computer for 18 out of 24 hours a day. So...I have busted out my "super smart specticles" and will be wearing them pretty much all of the time.
